Warnings
1. Be careful when using LIVOX MIDTM-40 in conditions with low visibility (e.g., foggy or stormy
weather). In such conditions, the detection range may be reduced.
2. When mounting the Livox Mid-40, make sure there is enough space for ventilation for the air inlet
and air outlet (at least 10 millimeters from the nearest objects). It is normal for the temperature
of the Livox Mid-40 to increase during use. If the air inlet or air outlet is blocked, however, the
temperature increase will be more signicant, which may negatively aect the performance and
may lead to permanent damage.
3. DO NOT touch the optical window of the Livox Mid-40. Dust and stains on the optical window can
negatively aect the performance. Use compressed air, isopropyl alcohol, or lens cloths to clean
the optical window correctly (refer to the Livox Mid Series User Manual for more information on
how to clean optical windows).
4. When customizing Livox Mid-40 power cables, make sure the current-carrying capacity of the
cable can support the power requirement of Livox Mid-40. Otherwise, the product may become a
re hazard or be damaged permanently.
5. In order to avoid electric shocks or radiation exposure, DO NOT disassemble the Livox Mid-40. If
an accessory or product part needs to be replaced, contact Livox for support.
6. The Livox Mid-40 is classied as a Class 1 Laser Product (IEC/EN 60825-1: 2014) and is safe
under all normal conditions of use.
7. Liquid damage is not covered under warranty.
8. DO NOT drop the Livox Mid-40.
9. The Livox Mid-40 Quick Start Guide contains important information. Make sure to read before rst
use and keep for reference.

1. Introduction
The Livox Mid-40 is a high-performance LiDAR sensor that can be used for multiple applications
including autonomous driving, robot navigation, dynamic path planning, and high-precision
mapping. Livox Mid-40’s unique non-repetitive scanning technology ensures a high-density point
cloud, and precisely detects every detail inside its eld of view (FOV). Users can check the real-
time point cloud using Livox Viewer, and a software development kit (SDK) is provided to help
develop customizable applications using the data acquired from the point cloud. Livox Mid-40’s
high reliability ensures that it can work properly even in adverse weather conditions.
The Livox Mid-40 has a detection range of up to 260 meters.*
* This distance can be reached when the target object reects 80% or more of incident light (e.g., grey concrete
walls and roads have a reectivity range from 15% to 30%, while white plaster walls have a reectivity range
from 90% to 99%) in an environment with a temperature of 77° F (25° C).
