Meet the LRF3000A1
The LRF3000A1 extends this selection to a 3000 m range class while keeping a TTL-level UART host interface. The maximum-range condition is explicit: a building target with 70% reflectivity, clear weather, and visibility of at least 4 km.
The minimum-range entry is 1 m on a 90%-reflectivity whiteboard. These minimum and maximum figures use different targets; they should not be combined into an unconditional all-target range guarantee.
Normal mode provides a 3–10 Hz adaptive update rate, while long-range mode is specified at 1–10 Hz. The electrical specification allows 3.3–5 V DC with supply ripple below 0.1 V.
01
Explicit long-range conditions
≥3000 m on a 70%-reflectivity building in clear weather with visibility ≥4 km.
02
Two measurement modes
3–10 Hz normal mode and 1–10 Hz long-range mode; both are adaptive.
03
Defined UART interface
3.3 V TTL-level UART; 115200 bps default with a documented 9600 bps setting.
04
Power and packaging
3.3–5 V DC with <0.1 V ripple and a 12 ± 0.5 g specified mass.

Module rating stated in the model manual; the host enclosure requires its own assessment. |
- Use the model-specific mechanical drawing for the mounting geometry and tolerances. Overall installation clearance is evaluated separately from individual housing dimensions.
- For civilian equipment only. The model manual prohibits military applications.
Operation and Data Output
Select normal or long-range measurement mode through the model’s communication protocol. The mode determines the documented adaptive output-rate range.
In low-power mode the controller is off and does not respond to ordinary commands. Use the model-specific enable input and wake-up sequence before requesting or processing a ranging result.
