EM400-TLD ToF Laser Distance Sensor
The EM400-TLD is a specialized 3-in-1 smart waste management sensor designed for small and mini trash bins, utilizing Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser technology. It simultaneously monitors garbage fill level, trash bin lid open/close status, and internal combustion risk, making it ideal for integration into municipal and industrial waste management systems.
Key features
- ToF Laser Technology: Time-of-Flight measurement method delivers high accuracy with virtually no blind spots
- 3-in-1 Function: Simultaneous monitoring of fill level, device position/lid status, and combustion temperature
- Up to 10-Year Battery Life: Extended operational duration thanks to LoRaWAN's low-power consumption
- IP67 Rated Enclosure: Dust and water-resistant, rugged industrial design
- Three Connectivity Options: Available in LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and CAT-M versions
- Built-in 3-Axis Accelerometer: Detects device position and trash bin lid status
- NTC Thermistor: Monitors internal temperature and sends combustion alerts
- Pre-set Operating Modes: Standard mode and Bin mode for easy deployment
Benefits
- Wide Coverage Area (LoRaWAN): Up to 2 km in urban areas, 15 km in rural regions
- Low Deployment Cost: NB-IoT and CAT-M versions leverage existing cellular infrastructure
- Positioning Capability: NB-IoT version includes GNSS module for asset tracking
- Efficient Data Reporting: Accumulates up to 24 data packets per report, reducing transmission and power costs
- Pre-configured Modes: Ready to deploy without extensive configuration
- Reliable Transmission: Stable cellular-based data communication
Use cases
- Smart city waste management systems
- Municipal and private waste collection services
- Industrial waste and hazardous material monitoring
- Landscape and park management
- Hospital and medical waste management
- Food processing and manufacturing facilities
Technical notes
- Measurement Range: Optimized for small and mini trash bins

- Cellular Bands (NB-IoT): B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/B13/B18/B19/B20/B25/B28/B66/B71/B85
- Protection Class: IP67 (dust and water-resistant)
Version differences
The EM400-TLD is available in three distinct connectivity technologies:
| Version | Protocol | Coverage | Positioning | Key Feature |
|---|
| LoRaWAN | LoRaWAN | 2 km urban / 15 km rural | Optional | Wide area, ultra-low power |
| NB-IoT | Cellular NB-IoT | Cellular network | GNSS module | Location tracking, stable link |
| CAT-M | Cellular CAT-M1 | Cellular network | Optional | Higher bandwidth, faster comms |
All versions share identical 3-in-1 sensor functionality (fill level, lid status, combustion detection); differences are limited to communication protocol and optional positioning features.
