Product Description Technical Details

The Milesight EM400-TLD is an advanced Time-of-Flight (ToF) distance sensor built specifically for monitoring fill levels and detecting status changes in small trash bins and containers. With a 27° field of view and a detection range of 2 to 350 cm, the sensor offers near-zero blind zones, making it highly suitable for compact waste containers where precise measurements are critical.

In addition to measuring distance with ±2 cm accuracy, the EM400-TLD features a built‑in 3‑axis accelerometer to detect tilt or lid movement. It also integrates an NTC temperature sensor capable of identifying abnormal temperature rises — such as fires — for safety alerts.

Engineered for outdoor durability, the device offers IP67 ingress protection, an internal damp-proof coating, and a robust ABS+PC (UL94 V0) housing. Powered by two replaceable 9000 mAh batteries, the EM400-TLD can operate for up to 10 years, depending on network type and reporting mode.

The EM400‑TLD is available in two communication versions:

LoRaWAN® Version
  • Ultra‑long‑range wireless communication up to 15 km line-of-sight

  • Fully compatible with standard LoRaWAN® gateways and network servers

  • Integrates seamlessly with Milesight IoT Cloud for remote monitoring

NB-IoT/Cat‑M Version
  • Equipped with GNSS positioning for tracking and security

  • Supports TCP, UDP, MQTT, and AWS modes

  • Includes “Cumulative Report” for optimized energy consumption

Both models support NFC configuration, mobile app setup, downlink configuration, and easy installation. The EM400‑TLD is specifically designed for smart‑waste management, municipal operations, and industrial monitoring.
