General information
The laser distance meter LDS70A is designed as a compact range finder
dedicated for easy integration. It provides serial data interfaces (RS232,
RS422) as well as digital and analog outputs. The housing is classified IP 67.
The automatically controlled heating element ensures the operating
temperature of the components and free optics (no condensation) of the
LDS70A.
