If the optical window is still dirty, a mild soap solution can be used to gently wash the window. Repeat Step 
2 to remove any remaining soap residue.

Troubleshooting

The table below shows you how to troubleshoot and resolve common issues with Avia LiDAR sensors. If the 
issue persists, contact Livox.

Issue

Resolution

Cannot detect the Livox 
sensor

• Make sure that all cables are correctly wired.
• Make sure the voltage and power supply is suitable. The voltage should 

be between 10 and 15 V. If a Livox Converter 2.0 is in use, the supported 
voltage range of the external power source is from 9 to 30 V.

• Make sure that the LiDAR sensor is not connected to other software.
• Make sure the LAN is selected.
• Make sure no security software is installed that would block Ethernet 

broadcasts.

If the issue persists, turn off all firewalls and search again.
Confirm the packet outputs for all connected devices using another 
application such as Wireshark.

Cannot connect to the 
detected LiDAR sensor/
Cannot start sampling

•  Make sure that all cables are correctly wired.
•  Make sure the voltage and power supply is suitable. The voltage should 

be between 10 and 15 V. If a Livox Converter 2.0 is in use, the supported 
voltage range of the external power source is from 9 to 30 V.

If the issue persists, reboot the LiDAR sensor and restart the software.

No data received

Confirm the packet outputs for all connected devices using another 
application such as Wireshark.
