LRF0818C · 1535 nm Laser Rangefinder Module
LRF0818C accuracy and range test conditions
A range number needs a target and conditions. For the LRF0818C the published figure is Vehicle (2.3 m × 4.6 m): ≥ 8,000 m Human (0.5 m × 1.7 m): ≥ 4,500 m (design guarantee) Small object (0.2 m × 0.3 m): ≥ 2,600 m (design guarantee). Accuracy: ≤ ±2 m.

| Minimum range | ≤ 20 m | |
| Range accuracy | ≤ ±2 m | |
| Ranging rate | Single shot, 1 Hz, 2 Hz, 3 Hz, 4 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz | |
| Valid-return rate | ≥98% (module PDF statement) |
How to read the conditions
Reflectivity is the fraction of laser light the target returns: a white board is about 90 percent, a building about 70 percent, grass and soil 10–30 percent. Visibility limits long-range figures because haze absorbs the pulse both ways. When two modules quote different targets, convert both to the same target before comparing; the open module database lists every vendor's condition next to its number.

FAQ
What is the maximum range of the LRF0818C?
The published range is Vehicle (2.3 m × 4.6 m): ≥ 8,000 m Human (0.5 m × 1.7 m): ≥ 4,500 m (design guarantee) Small object (0.2 m × 0.3 m): ≥ 2,600 m (design guarantee). A range figure is only comparable together with the target and conditions it was measured on, so the condition is listed next to the value.
Which interface does the LRF0818C use?
The published communication interface is TTL.
What laser wavelength does the LRF0818C use?
The published wavelength is 1535 nm ± 10 nm; laser safety entry: The source describes the module as 1535 nm eye-safe but does not state a numerical laser class in the reviewed specification. Wavelength alone is not a classification..
How much does the LRF0818C cost?
The published single-unit price of the LRF0818C is $2,000, falling to $900 per unit at the largest published quantity band. Prices include shipping and are ordered directly from erdilrf.com.
