Terabee’s IND-TOF-1 sensor provides 12.5 m detection abilities by making use of Time-of-Flight technology. The rugged IP65 enclosure guarantees water-resistant and dust-proof capabilities in an economical and compact (99 g) design.
Programmable distance thresholds can be configured with the help of on-the-field teach-in buttons to count objects, detect movement, trigger alarms, and more. The sensor offers proximity notification using a classic NO/NC switching output (0 to 24 V) and communicates calibrated distance data through RS485 interface. Six embedded operating modes allow users to handle a range of tracking applications.

Potential Applications
Object presence detection, counting.
Object sorting for size (height monitoring).
Material stock level monitoring.
Height monitoring for vehicle entries.
Distance measurement applications.
Rugged, Water-Resistant and Dust-Proof
Users can benefit from an IP65-rated enclosure compliant to industry standards, like equipment washdown needs and usage in outdoor applications.
One Sensor, Six Modes
The sensor provides six operating modes with programmable distance thresholds, allowing users to meet a range of tracking and distance sensing applications.
Users can fix trigger zones and achieve quick NO/NC (0-24V) closeness notifications whenever the light beam in the trigger zone is violated. Users receive distance data through RS485 (Modbus) to know precisely at what distance the light beam has been damaged.
Users can refer to Terabee’s user manual for elaborate instructions on mode configuration and operation.
Industrial Communication Protocol
The strong M12 connection guarantees dependable transfer of distance data through RS485 interface to a control unit, like a PLC, and also offers a 0 to 24 V switching output.
Quick and Intuitive Commissioning
Users can rapidly configure one or many trigger zones for NO/NC proximity notification with the help of the in-built teach-in buttons (PROG and SET). Multi-color LEDs offer visual confirmation of live data stream, sensor power, and distance threshold breach.
Versatile and Cost-effective Installation
Users can benefit from a range of installation options with the help of an M4 screw set:
- Back panel mounting
- Front-panel mounting
- Angle mounting utilizing a 90° bracket accessory
There is no need for extra components, like receivers or reflectors, for the configuration process and operation, which makes the installation both time- and cost-efficient.
