The Leddar® M16 Sensor Module is an advanced sensing solution that combines 16 independent active elements into a
single sensor, resulting in rapid, continuous and accurate detection and ranging — including lateral discrimination — in the
entire wide beam, without any moving parts. The Leddar M16 can be easily integrated to add sensing intelligence to almost
any application, enabling developers and integrators to make the most of this cutting-edge technology while providing
unmatched flexibility.
Features
• 16 independent segments with simultaneous acquisition
and lateral discrimination capabilities
• 9o to 95o beam options, for optimized field of view
• 0 to 100 meter detection range (325 ft.)
Receiver Assembly
The Leddar receiver includes 16 independent segments with
simultaneous acquisition capabilities. Several beam options are
available, ranging from 9° to 95° (see back page). The beam width
and height depend on the selected beam option.
• Rapid data acquisition time up to 50 Hz
Source and Control Assembly
Benefits
The Leddar source and control assembly includes IR LED
emitters with a dominant wavelength of 940 nm and incorporates
the processing and I/O for the targeted applications. The source
and control assembly beam matches the receiver assembly.
• Proven reliability, even in harsh conditions
• Immune to ambient light
• No moving parts, for ultimate robustness
• Easy to integrate, includes Leddar Enabler SDK
• Low power consumption
• Best cost/performance ratio

Interfaces
A 3.81 mm x 8 pin male header is provided for interfacing through
a cable harness or terminal block. A USB “Mini-B” connector is also
provided for use with the Leddar® Software Development Kit, and
a 2 x 20, 0.050” header is provided for custom expansion. Please
contact the factory for specific interface requirements.
Software Development Kit (SDK)
The Leddar Enabler SDK provides a user-friendly application
programming interface (API) with .Net and C libraries and code
examples. Sample code for RS-485/MODBUS for both Windows
and Linux, as well as LabVIEW and MATLAB integration examples,
are also provided.
