TeraRanger Evo 3m - Close-range ToF distance sensor, 3 m, fixed 100 Hz, 12 grams

‹ ›

Accurate, high-speed, close-range distance measurement and object detection sensor. Ideal for mobile robotics applications.

With its 10 cm to 3 m range, fixed 100 Hz update rate and greater accuracy, TeraRanger Evo 3m is perfectly suited to close-range distance sensing applications at higher speed. Applications include, presence and proximity detection, object detection/counting and robot navigation. All in a small and lightweight form-factor.

The TeraRanger Evo 3m is no longer available. You can purchase available stock from our Reseller partners using the link below.

Applications you can develop with Time-of-Flight distance measurement sensor modules

Robot collision avoidance

Presence detection

Level monitoring (bins, waste, etc.)

Precision landing for drones

Unique modular design
TeraRanger Evo sensors consist of an opto-electronic sensing device (black module) and a choice of backboard (yellow module), which simply plugs-in to provide the sensor with its communication link and power management capabilities without the need for adapters or complex wiring. You simply choose the backboard that best suits your application and communication protocol. USB, I2C and UART backboards are available.

For first time users, we recommend the USB backboard as it allows quick tests on a PC with our graphical user interface. This setup is also required for possible firmware updates in future.

Other backboards with industry standard interfaces and protocols can also be made to support your application.

Enabling continuous fill level monitoring
The close-range ToF sensor is great for level sensing in smaller tanks, including milk vats, fuel tanks, sewer systems and more. Monitor continuous fill level of liquids as close as 10 cm to the sensor with great accuracy.

The sensors compact and low-cost design supports OEM and design-in projects, while the low power consumption is great for battery powered integrations.

Build your own multi-directionnal sensor module array
It is also possible to build multi-sensor applications with TeraRanger Evo 3m sensors. Connect up to 8 Evo sensors to our lightweight PCB board, called TeraRanger Hub Evo, that enables users to quickly prototype custom sensor arrays without being constrained to pre-set configurations. TeraRanger Hub Evo also features a built-in sensor crosstalk avoidance system. Want to know more? Visit the TeraRanger Hub Evo page.

Build Android applications with our technology
Our Android SDK provides an easy way to communicate with Terabee sensors on an Android device. The SDK supports the following sensor models via a USB interface:

- TeraRanger Evo 3m
- TeraRanger Evo 60m
- TeraRanger Evo 64px
- TeraRanger Multiflex

The SDK can auto-detect which type of sensor is connected to a device.

To connect the sensor to an Android device, you will need a USB OTG cable and a USB backboard for each sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work outdoors?
Yes, it does, but its range and update rate can be affected by the environment. Please Contact us for a full test report.
Is it compatible with Pixhawk?
Yes, it is, please find the “Instruction manual for connection to Pixhawk Autopilots” in the downloads section of the product page.
What is the minimum/maximum working temperature for TeraRanger Evo ?
The generic operating temperatures for TeraRanger Evo distance sensors are from -10°C to 45°C. However, we have run the sensors in our climatic chamber at -20°C and up to 60°C without inducing failures. We are also aware of customers running the sensors in warm environments and we've never yet received feedback of adverse operation or failure. We always recommend our clients to run their own tests to determine suitability to their needs.
