T350 Product Manual V1.0 Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd Attentions About this Document This Manual provides information necessary for the use of this product. Please read this Manual carefully before using this product and make sure that you have fully understood its contents.
Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd Physical Interface Description about the line sequence and connection Wiring terminal model: MH1.25-7P, core wire: AWG30, diameter:0.254mm, cross-sectional area:0.05mm Figure 1 TF350 Line Sequence Table 1 TF350 Pin functions and connection instructions color Function Voltage Input White CAN_L...
T350 Product Manual V1.0 Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd Table 2 main electrical parameters Parameter Typical value Power supply voltage ≤180mA Average current ≤180mA Peak current ≤0.9W Average power Installation Instructions 3.1 Product Overview Figure 2 Exterior Product Structure The LiDAR mounting holes are applicable to M3 screws. Note that the length of the screw entering the enclosure shall be no more than 4mm.
Note: The side length of common objects detected should be greater than that of the detection range of TF350; When the side length of the detected object is less than that of the detection range, the LiDAR effective range will be reduced...
The two communication modes are selected one by one and cannot be output at the same time. 4.1 TTL serial port he serial port version of TF350 adopts UART-LVTTL interface, and the output level is LVTTL level (0-3.3V). The specific communication protocol is shown in Table 4. Page10...

None 1)Standard data output format of Serial port(UART) The output data (hexadecimal numbers) of TF350 is shown in table 5. Each data frame consists of 9 bytes and the data contains the measured distance information; namely, DIST; the frame tail acts as a data checksum bit; other bytes are reserved.
Page 12
(default 0ms) is added. After the delay, the distance is still higher 10m, the output is low level. Example: a) Change TF350 to IO output with the following command: 5A 05 05 05 69 B) Set the distance less than the threshold to be a high level and the distance above the threshold to be a low level mode.
The output data (hexadecimal numbers) of TF350 CAN is shown in table 5. Each data frame consists of 8 bytes and the data contains the measured distance information; namely, DIST; other bytes are reserved.

T350 Product Manual V1.0 Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd support. The serial port version TF350 needs to use a TTL-USB board when connecting to a computer. the following example represents the serial port version TF350 connected to the computer tools and methods. TF350...

Note: the Dist(Echo) and Strength are unmeaning in here. 4)Another note If TF350 is required to output in Pixhawk mode, check Ⅲ『Pix Mode』 first and then the data images will be normally output in the Ⅳ『TIME LINE CHART』 area. After the Pix Mode is checked, the distance unit will change to m.
After clicking such buttons, the setup software will send instructions and wait for reply from TF350. When no reply is received for a long time, 『No Response』 will be displayed on the right side of the instruction-sending buttons. Please note that in order to ensure that TF350 reply instructions can be obtained normally, lower the『frame...

Failure reasons and troubleshooting 1)Under normal operation, TF350 sometimes will output 35000(cm). Reasons:The actual distance measured is beyond the range of TF350, TF350 will output 35000. Troubleshooting: Use the value 35000 as a value representing abnormal data. In other words, after value 35000 is received, the TF350 output data is not used.

Q4: Can TF350 work normally in rain, snow and fog? A4: TF350 has a firmware version of the algorithm that penetrates the rain and fog. Contact the sales or technical support personnel for firmware upgrade. The algorithm is turned on by default in V1.11.15.

Figure 11 Interface for TF series PC display software 『Product Type』 : Use the TTL-USB pin board to connect the corresponding LiDAR model at the computer terminal; if you use the product TF350 of our company, just select Benewake TF03. TF03 and TF350 have the same communication protocol.
