Product overview

The S10 Series consists of industrial dToF RGB-D cameras, including S10, S10 Pro, and Lite versions. The cameras synchronize RGB and depth data and can output depth maps, IR amplitude images, RGB images, point clouds, and obstacle-avoidance results. The standard S10 measures from 0.3–8 m and the S10 Pro from 0.3–17 m. Supported models provide Ethernet, two digital inputs, and two digital outputs. Configure up to four obstacle-avoidance zones and output stop, slowdown, or safe-state signals.

Features

Medium- and long-range dToF perception: Suitable for indoor and outdoor mobile applications such as autonomous vehicles, autonomous forklifts, and drones.
Synchronized multimodal output: Provides depth, RGB, IR amplitude, and point-cloud data. The Lite version does not provide RGB data.
On-device obstacle avoidance: Receive point clouds over Ethernet or use the built-in algorithm to output control signals through I/O.
Multi-camera operation and bright-light performance: Multiple cameras can work together. With a 100 kLux environment and a 90% reflective target, S10 reaches 8 m and S10 Pro reaches 17 m.

Point-cloud access

Receive camera data over Ethernet and fuse it into your perception or control system.

On-device obstacle avoidance

Configure obstacle-avoidance zones and output slowdown, stop, or safe-state signals through I/O.

Integration and installation

Field of view and dimensions

Required clearance

Keep the illustrated pink clearance area free of obstructions. Components that enter this area can interfere with point clouds and cause noise, false detections, or incorrect stops.

S10 Series installation interference example

Common installation interference

Field-of-view obstruction: Frames, ribs, small openings, or off-center mounting can create fixed blind spots or false near-field targets.
Near-field reflections and multipath: Confined cavities, bright metal, or mirrors can distort distance or cause local saturation.
Optical-window problems: Ordinary glass, acrylic, dirt, or condensation can introduce artifacts, attenuate signals, or lower the signal-to-noise ratio. Validate transmission and ranging performance before adding a window.
Mounting stress and heat: Over-tightening can shift the optical axis; provide a heat path in enclosed installations to avoid temperature-related drift.

First connection

Connect power and network

Power the camera with 24 VDC and connect its communication interface to the computer with a Cat 6 Ethernet cable. A slowly flashing blue indicator indicates normal power.

Configure the network

The camera’s factory-default IP address is 192.168.100.82. Set the computer to the same subnet and make sure the firewall does not block camera communication.

Verify image output

Open the camera in the host application and confirm that the image is clear and stable. Configure basic parameters and application algorithms as needed.

LxCameraViewer interface

LxCameraViewer displays depth, IR amplitude, point-cloud, and RGB images and reads or configures basic camera and algorithm parameters.

LxCameraViewer before opening the camera

Select a device in the list and click Open or Close to control the connection.
Use Capture to start or stop streaming and Save frame to save active streams.
Select Depth, Intensity, RGB, or Point cloud to choose the displayed data.
Configure device functions in Basic tools, Application algorithms, and Other.

Safety and troubleshooting

Laser safety

Keep the safety label complete and legible, and follow the safety requirements in the label and product materials.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Suggested checks
No data after opening the camera	Check the firewall, confirm that the computer and camera share a subnet, and check the switch and Ethernet cable.
The host application detects multiple IP addresses	Resolve duplicate LAN IP addresses and select the correct device.
White objects have poor edge accuracy	Adjust glare-suppression parameters and recheck black-target performance.
Reflective columns are overexposed	Try the glare-suppression algorithm and validate it in the actual scene.
No image or an abnormal depth-image size	Update the host application to `Lanxin-MRDVS-1.3.66.0606` or later.
Exclusive-application permission fails	Make sure only one client is connected, or use a newer release with multi-user permissions.
Sparse or missing target data	Check the high-exposure parameter (typically 600–1200) and low-signal threshold (typically 10–30).

Applications and case studies

dToF and iToF

dToF is generally suited to medium and long ranges and complex environments; iToF is often used for high-precision close-range recognition. Select a camera based on working distance, field of view, reflectivity, and ambient light.
