Operation principles
The UTM-30LX-EW uses a laser source (λ=905nm) to scan a 270º semicircular field (Figure 1). It measures the distance for each angular step to objects in its range. The measurement data along with its angular step are transmitted via a communication channel. The laser safety is class 1.
