FAQ
What is the maximum range of the SPD1200Z2?
The published range is Catalog range: 0.2–1,200 m; strong sunlight or low visibility may reduce range. Sources also list a 1,500 m night-time maximum under special conditions; it is not a guaranteed range.. 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 SPD1200Z2 use?
The published communication interface is UART-TTL, Customizable @ Default 115200bps, Optional 9600bps.
What laser wavelength does the SPD1200Z2 use?
The published wavelength is 905nm±5nm; laser safety entry: IEC CLASS I.
How much does the SPD1200Z2 cost?
The published single-unit price of the SPD1200Z2 is $150. Prices include shipping and are ordered directly from erdilrf.com.
