Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The 2D LiDAR sensor LMS4000 is intended exclusively for use in industrial environ‐
ments. Radio interference may result when used in residential areas.
The device measures objects of any shape during continuous output of measurement
data.
The following contour data is output to the customer’s computer via the Ethernet inter‐
face for further processing.
•
Angle correction values: Deviation from implicit angular position
•
Distance values: Distance from zero point in the corrected angular position
•
Remission values: Object remission as a dimensionless scale value or a percent‐
age calibrated grayscale value in the corrected angular position
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
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
