Details

The Yunshis S20 laser distance sensor combines a built-in numeric display with outdoor-ready ranging up to 22 m.

Designed for industrial integration, the S20 module supports IP65 protection and a wide 9–35 V operating voltage.

Stable distance measurement in sunlight and on dark targets makes the S20 series a practical choice for mobile robots and outdoor systems.

Choose the output that fits your control stack, including PNP, RS485 (Modbus RTU), 4–20 mA, or UART variants in the S20 series.

Features like multi-target detection, temperature compensation, and reflectivity calibration help maintain reliable results across changing conditions.

Common use cases include drones, smart security, liquid-level monitoring, and warehouse automation.

Mounting dimensions and front-panel controls (MODE/SET with numerical display) support straightforward installation and setup.
