Page 11: Important Safety Notices
Do not modify the unit, remove its cover, disassemble it, or attempt to service it. No scheduled maintenance is necessary to keep the product in compliance. If there are visible defects or damage to the M8 LiDAR sensor, contact your service representative for all service or repair issues, or questions about safety. Refer all servicing and repairs of the sensor to authorized support representatives. -
Page 12: Compliances
Compliances Quanergy’s M8 LiDAR sensor has been tested and found to comply with the standards and specifications of several organizations. ASTM G154 This product complies with standard practices for operating fluorescent Ultraviolet (UV) lamp apparatus in the exposure of nonmetallic materials. Tests reproduced and measured the weathering effects that occur when materials are exposed to sunlight, either directly or through window glass. -
Page 13: Iec/En Safety Compliance
IP69K Compliance The M8 LiDAR sensor passed Water and Dirt/Dust Ingress Tests in compliance with the IEC 60529 IP69K specification. RoHS Compliance Bills of Material components of Quanergy’s 3D M8 LiDAR sensor have been reviewed for RoHS2 and found to be in compliance with the European Union (EU) Directive EU RoHS-2 Directive 2011/65/eu. -
Page 14: Getting Started
1. Getting Started The M8 sensor does not operate on its own; it requires a complete system involving additional parts to operate and collect data, as explained in the following subsections. This manual assumes the user will purchase those parts from Quanergy and/or assemble their own for a complete working system. -
Page 15: Complete Minimal Working System
M19 IP67-rated connector shown in Table 1 and the specifications in the “Connectors and Pins” section on pages 27-28. 2. Purchase a specialized Quanergy sensor interface cable as shown in Figure 2 (typically 15-foot length, with other lengths available upon request), which connects to the sensor cable, and the other end divides into three sub-cables: •... -
Page 16: Power Source
Providing power that fails to meet the specifications in Table 2 may damage the M8 sensor system. Disconnect from power properly: NO: Never unplug the cord at the M8 sensor’s ferrule power connector (Figure 14 right) or toggle a connected power strip’s on/off switch because the current still latent in the cord can shock the sensor. -
Page 17: Power Over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a single cable solution for both communication and power. The M8 sensor has been operated 100 meters from a power source using IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) compliant PoE source and splitter. The PoE source injects DC power into a CAT5/6 cable. -

(Figure 5) and return to the LiDAR sensor as one or more return pulses. The M8 sensor measures and evaluates the distances and intensities of as many return pulses as there are, follows rules for which particular return values to report, then reports the distances and intensities of up to three of those return values. -
Page 21: Intensity
For visualization, the reported decibel value is assigned a color, which is defined by the user. While computer postprocessing can tease out additional information that is only hinted at in the RViz visualizer, the M8 sensor Rev D5 in Figure 6 clearly shows the distinction in intensity: •... -
Page 22: Mounting The Sensor
3. Mounting the Sensor The M8 sensor includes the hardware that allows a user to attach it to a preferred surface. The mounting assembly is illustrated in Figure 7. The sensor arrives from the factory securely attached to a round mounting base that must remain attached. Its four M3 threaded holes are used to mount securely to a surface. -
Page 23: Options
The sensor may be placed in different configurations and at different angles to accommo- date specific application needs. Various possible scenarios for installation are depicted as follows. Mounting accessories offered by Quanergy are discussed in “Appendix 2.” Vehicle Grill-Mounted Scenario Mounting the sensor on a vehicle’s grill works well for object detection and safety in... -
Page 24: Vehicle Rack-Mounted Scenario
For indoor testing, research, and development, mounting the sensor to a tripod with the detachable, rectangular base plate is a good solution, as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10. Indoor Tripod-Mounted Sensor with Detachable, Rectangular Base Plate M8 Sensor User Guide, QPN 96-00001 Rev K Page 24... -
Page 25: Side-Mounted On Drone Scenario
Figure 11. Drone with Side-Mounted Sensor Wall-Mounted Security Scenario Figure 12 shows a sensor mounted by a fixture to a wall. The M8 sensor dramatically boosts the surveillance power of a typical video monitoring system, as enabled by Quanergy’s security solution. The sensor can be mounted inside or outside, day or night, and is fully operational in any weather, with ingress protection from rain, snow, or dust. -
Page 26: Multi-Sensor Scenario
Multi-Sensor Scenario Some applications such as for vehicle operation or security monitoring use multiple M8 sensors simultaneously to cover a wide area. Figure 13 shows two sensors mounted in close proximity on a vehicle. Reduce the possibility of cross-talk by: •... -

Page 31: Find The Serial Number And Ip Address
The IP address, in either dynamic or static assignment, is essential for communicating with the M8 sensor over the Ethernet TCP connection. The “Edit Network” section on page 51 explains in detail how to configure the sensor to accept a static or dynamic IP address. -
Page 32: M8 Sensor Settings Management Application Reveals Serial Number And Versions
M8 Sensor Settings Management Application Reveals Serial Number and Versions If you know a sensor’s IP address, you can open the M8 Sensor Settings Management web application (“Managing the Sensor” section starting on page 38), which lists the sensor’s complete serial number in the footer of each web page (Figure 27). In addition, the Versions tab (page 56) lists the versions of various software components involved in the M8 sensor. -

Page 66: Appendix 1: Use Of Nmea/Pps Signals
This appendix is provided for users who need accurate, reliable timestamps on each data point collected by the M8 system. For the M8 system to enable the added value of a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timestamp, two inputs are required, and Global Positioning System (GPS) units typically provide them: •... -
Page 67: Purpose Of Pps
Electrical Interface and Transmission Settings By default, the M8 sensor is set to receive GPS communication at the industry standard 4800 baud rate. Some units may allow higher baud rates to enable the transmission of more data, but other units may require a lower baud rate. -
Page 68: Mechanical Interface
The M12 3-pin connector on the interface cable enables communication between the GPS receiver and the M8 sensor. The three pins are for the NMEA message, PPS signal, and ground. That signal carries through the three pins of the M19 IP67-rated connector and finally to the M8 sensor, as shown in Figure 44. -
Page 69: Data Communication
PPS signal first, followed only by the $GPRMC and/or $GPZDA NMEA sentences. (Filter out sentences that are not used). The M8 sensor accepts the GPS unit’s NMEA sentence in the $GPRMC and $GPZDA forms. If the GPS sends both messages, the sensor uses whichever it receives first. -
