3Product introduction
LR-1F is a 360° continuous scanning lidar. It not only provides a full-angle scanning range,
but also obtains a longer measuring distance due to optimized optical design.
LR-1F is suitable for applications in various industrial fields, such as robotics, security
and monitoring, industrial automation and logistics, etc., and can also be used for spatial
surveying and mapping systems such as mobile surveying and mapping. Users can choose
different lidar products according to different requirements on environmental perception and
navigation.
Relying on industry-leading manufacturing facilities, professional calibration laboratory,
and rigorous verification process, OLEI strives to provide users with a reliable, high-quality,
durable lidar sensor.

5Working principle
Figure 10 Diagram of LR-1F lidar work principle
As is shown in the figure above, LR-1F measures distance by using the time-of-flight
principle. Lidar emits laser pulses at uniform and short time intervals. After the laser is reflected
back when it encounters obstacles, the lidar receives reflected light signal. The distance between
the object and the lidar can be calculated according to the time difference between emission and
reception of laser (ie the flight time of the laser) T and the speed of light C. The calculation
method is as follows:
𝐷 = 𝐶𝑇
2
D—Detection distance
T—Flight time
C—Speed of light
6Data packet format
LR-1F can realize laser point cloud data transmission. Please refer to the following for the
analysis of lidar point cloud data.
Information transmission between LR-1F and computer follows UDP/IP standard network
protocol. The data adapts Little-endian format with low byte at the front and high byte at the
back.

7Parameter configuration
7.1 Parameter configuration of web page
Web page parameter configuration method of LR-1F is as follows:
Open the browser (please use Chrome, Firefox, Edge and other standard browsers), and
enter the lidar IP address;
Model and Version at the top of the interface indicate the product model and firmware
version number;
Temperature and Voltage on the right side of the interface are the lidar parameters displayed
in real time, indicating the temperature and voltage of the specific internal module. When
the font color of parameter turns red, please check whether the lidar is malfunctioning;
Automatically read the current settings of lidar by refreshing the page;
Select the required rotation speed value through Motor RPM: 600/900/1200/1500 (the
corresponding scanning frequency is 10/15/20/25Hz respectively), and click Set Configs
to confirm;
Set the offset of the radar 0 degree angle through Angle offset;
Enable/disable the DHCP function: the lidar dynamically obtains an IP address from the
DHCP server (ON), and the lidar needs to set up a static IP address (OFF);
Modification of lidar IP: Host IP and the lidar IP should be in the same network segment,
click the Set Network button to confirm, and the modification is complete after the LiDAR
is powered on again.

8Troubleshooting
Problem
Method
Lidar fails to scan
Verify whether the power supply is properly connected
Verify whether the power voltage meets 12~32VDC
Please contact OLEI if the above conditions are normal.
LiDAR scan
produces no data
Verify whether the network connection is normal
Verify whether the IP settings on the data receiver are correct.
Try to use third-party data scraping software to verify whether data could
be obtained normally
Verify whether only one lidar software is enabled.
Verify whether firewall of the data receiver is disabled or if there are other
security software or processes blocking data transmission.
Please contact OLEI if the above conditions are normal.

Appendix F Suggestions on Mechanical Installation
When installing lidar, pay attention to the following points:
1. Please remove the transparent protective film on the window when using it on site.
2. Try best to avoid shock and vibration.
3. Keep it away from any direct sunlight (windows, skylights) or any other heat source to
prevent the internal temperature of the device from rising.
4. It is recommended that the mounting base used to fix the lidar be as flat as possible.
5. The positioning column on the mounting base should strictly follow the depth of the
positioning column at the bottom of the lidar, and should not be higher than 4mm. It is
recommended to use aluminum alloy mounting base for better heat dissipation .
6. When installing the lidar, if the lidar has contact mounting surfaces on both top and bottom,
please make sure that the distance between the mounting surfaces is larger than the height of
the lidar to avoid squeezing the lidar.
7. The tilt angle should not exceed 90 degrees when the lidar is installed. If the tilt angle is too
large, it will affect the life of the lidar.
8. When arrange the wiring of the lidar, wiring on the radar should not be too tight; keep the
wiring loose.
9. In order to avoid any influence to the measurement accuracy due to mutual interference
between lidars, we recommend the following installation, taking LR-1BS as an example. (α≥6°,
H≥200mm, the position of the line segment in the diagram represents the lidar emission position)

Appendix G Cleaning of sensor
OLE-LiDAR, especially the ring-shaped protective cover, should be kept clean in order to
accurately sense the surrounding environment.
G.1 Notice
Please read Appendix E thoroughly and carefully before cleaning OLE-LiDAR, otherwise
improper operation may damage the equipment.
G.2 Materials required
1. Clean fiber cloth
2. Neutral soap spray
3. Clean water spray
4. Isopropanol solvent
5. Clean gloves
G.3 Cleaning method
If there are only some dust on the surface of the radar, directly use a clean fiber cloth with
a small amount of isopropyl alcohol solution to gently wipe the surface of the radar, and then
wipe it with a dry and clean fiber cloth.
If there are mud or other blocky foreign matter on the surface of radar, first spray clean
water on the surface of the dirty part on the radar to remove the mud and other foreign matter
(Note: please do not wipe off the mud directly with a fiber cloth, as this may scratch the surface,
especially the surface of the protective cover). Then spray with soapy water on the dirty parts,
since the lubricating effect of soapy water could accelerate the separation of foreign materials.
Gently wipe the surface of the radar with a fiber cloth, be careful not to scratch the surface.
Finally, clean the soap residue on the radar surface with clean water (if there are still residues
stains on the surface, use an isopropyl alcohol solution to clean it again), and wipe it with a dry
microfiber cloth
.
