1. Safety
The following guidelines will allow the person in charge and users of the F6 to know in advance
the possible dangers in the operation and prevent them. The person in charge of the instrument
should ensure that all users read and follow this instruction.
The F6 is a precision optical instrument. If it is integrated into a system, the system vendor must
be responsible for all safety related issues, such as manuals, labeling and guidance.
1.1 Use of the instrument
1.1.1 Allowed use range:
● Distance measurement.
● Area Protection.
1.1.2 Disabled use range:
● Use the instrument without following the instructions.
● Use outside the range of the declaration.
● Acts of destroying the security system, removing the instructions and danger signs.
● Open the device with tools such as a screwdriver.
● Modify or upgrade the instrument.
● Use accessories from other manufacturers that are not approved by Faselase.
● Direct aiming at the sun.
● Deliberately appearing other dazzling targets in the field of vision, including in the
darkness.
● Use in survey site without safety facilities. (such as on the road, etc.)
1.2 Scope of liability
Responsibility of the original equipment manufacturer Faselase:

High-speed Laser Distance Sensor
-2-
FaseLase is responsible for providing products under complete safety conditions, including this
manual, software and original accessories.
Responsibility of non-FaseLase accessory manufacturers:
Non-FaseLase accessory manufacturers are responsible for the development, availability, and
safety instructions for their products. They are also responsible for the secure connection to
FaseLase products.
1.3 Significant risks of incorrect use
Warning
Do not operate without knowing how to use F6. It is the responsibility of the person in charge of
the instrument to inform the user of its dangers and how to prevent them.
Use under conditions suitable for human survival. Do not use in flammable or explosive
environment.
Do not point the F6 laser directly at the sun, as it will damage the instrument.
Do not point the F6 laser directly at the human eye for a long time. Although the F6 uses a Class
I human eye safety laser, long-term direct laser exposure may also cause damage to the human
eyes.
If the instrument is used in violation of the prohibition, it may result in personal injury,
instrument malfunction and loss.
Compilation of non-specified control, adjustment, or execution programs may result in serious
damages of the sensor or errors of the measuring data.

Table 1: Specification
Notes:
1. The angular resolution is affected by scanning frequency. Angle resolution is smaller when low scanning
frequency, point cloud data is denser.
2. Measurement error refers to 90% reflectivity (Kodak white) measurement.in the standard environment.
3. Statistical error refers to the error of measuring distance when the lidar scanning plane is parallel to 90%
reflectivity (Kodak white).
4. The difference between the scanning plane and the angle of incoming light needs to be greater than 5
degrees.

Table 2: LED Indicator Status

High-speed Laser Distance Sensor
-7-
The LEDs on the front board of LiDAR can indicate the current operation status, which are
divided into two categories: working status and trigger status. The working status class indicator
includes "Working", "Pause", "Fault", " Changing input group ", the priority is sorted from high
to low as fault, Pause, Changing input group, Working. The trigger class indicator is Output 1-4
triggered. In the case where multiple protection zones are triggered, the indicator status of the
LEDs triggered shows priority 1>2>3>4. For example, when there are obstacles in the four areas
1, 2, 3, and 4, the indicator light only shows an orange LED flashing, and when there are
obstacles in the two areas 2 and 4, the light only shows a blue light flashing. Digital output
signals can be detected independently when triggered despite of LED priority.

4.2 Measurement Range Schematic
Figure 5: diagram of the scanning range
The measurement schematic is a top view, the shaded part of Figure 5 is the scanning area, the
scanning range is from 310 to 230 degrees and blind zone is between 230 and 310 degrees, no
measurement data output.
4.3 Connect the device
4.3.1 Wiring
Note: The voltage supply for both DC-Power and IO-Power is between 12V-24V, DC-GND and
IO-GND are not inner connected to ground. IO digital signal function will not be booted until
IO-Power and IO-GND are connected. The maximum value of the I/O output voltage signal is
determined by the I/O power supply and load circuit.
