Question

The VL53L5 circuit in explosive atmospheres and the ATEX standard.

We would like to use the VL53L5 to measure the fuel level in a tank. According to the ATEX standard, the measuring device with the VL53L5 will be located near an opening in the tank in Zone 0.
The datasheet does not specify the optical power of the circuit. The ATEX standard specifies
the maximum optical power that the device may have in order to be installed in Zone 0. 
Could you please provide a table with the optical power values?

Hi:

In fact, we do have this optical power in CB test report. we can’t provide it to you through the community, but you can contact our sales or FAE engineers.
