2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The LD-LRS 2D LiDAR sensor is intended exclusively for use in industrial environments.
Radio interference may result when used in residential areas.
The LD-LRS automates ship loading operations when using ship-to-shore cranes. The
laser optics system performs non-contact scanning of the container stack and precisely
detects all obstacles impeding the loading. The precise measurement data from the
LD-LRS is used to determine the profile data of the container stacks.
The profile measurement of the filling condition of bulk material stockpiles can be
converted into a 3D model to determine the exact surface structure of the stockpile to
control the loading system.
In conjunction with the field application, the LD-LRS can also be used for building safety
and security and for monitoring a variety of access zones outdoors.
Possible fields of application
•Container automation: position determination and detection
•Piece goods: measurement of the shape, position and volume of objects
•Crane control: profile measurement, collision protection, position detection and
guidance
•Surveying: floor plan surveying, longitudinal and transverse profiles in buildings
•Buildings: object protection, access monitoring, protection of facades and areas
(LD-LRS3600 only)
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not

tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.

■Shut down the product immediately in case of damage.
2.3 Cybersecurity
Overview
To protect against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to continuously monitor and
maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity concept. A suitable concept consists of organi‐
zational, technical, procedural, electronic, and physical levels of defense and considers

2.7 Operational safety and specific hazards
Please observe the safety notes and the warnings listed here and in other sections
of this product documentation to reduce the possibility of risks to health and avoid
dangerous situations.
CAUTION
Optical radiation: Class 1 Laser Product
The accessible radiation does not pose a danger when viewed directly for up to 100
seconds. It may pose a danger to the eyes and skin in the event of incorrect use.
■Do not open the housing. Opening the housing may increase the level of risk.
■Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.
Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary disorienting optical effects, particularly
in conditions of dim lighting. Disorienting optical effects may come in the form of 
dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages, photosensitive epilepsy, or impairment of color
vision, for example.
WARNING
Electrical voltage!
Electrical voltage can cause severe injury or death.
■Work on electrical systems must only be performed by qualified electricians.
■The power supply must be disconnected when attaching and detaching electrical
connections.
■The product must only be connected to a voltage supply as set out in the require‐
ments in the operating instructions.
■National and regional regulations must be complied with.
■Safety requirements relating to work on electrical systems must be complied with.
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by potential equalization currents!
Improper grounding can lead to dangerous equipotential bonding currents, which may
in turn lead to dangerous voltages on metallic surfaces, such as the housing. Electrical
voltage can cause severe injury or death.
■Work on electrical systems must only be performed by qualified electricians.
■Follow the notes in the operating instructions.
■Install the grounding for the product and the system in accordance with national
and regional regulations.
