Complete Minimal Working System

Several items must be provided in addition to what
is listed in Table 1, but the definition of a
complete minimal working M8 LiDAR system
depends on how the sensor will be used.

Interface Cable

The M8 sensor cable ends with an M19 IP67-
rated dust- and water-proof connector, but the
sensor needs to connect to power, the network,
and possibly other devices such as a GPS/IMU
module. There are two options for completing the
cable:
1. Assemble a custom interface cable suited to these cable connections, using the
provided 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:
• Ethernet sub-cable with RJ45 connector (attaches to a computer's network port, or to
an external Ethernet switch).
• Power sub-cable with ferrule connector (attaches to power adapter; see Table 2).
• A sub-cable with M12 3-pin connector (attaches to ground and NMEA/PPS signals from
optional user-supplied GPS receiver, as explained in "Appendix 1: Use of
NMEA/PPS Signals"). (If it is necessary to construct an additional GPS interface
cable, an extra M12 IP67-rated female connector (Figure 2 and pages 27-28) is
provided with the sensor interface cable.

Do not cut the cable!
Cutting the permanently
attached sensor cable is not
recommended. Such an altera-
tion may impact the environ-
mental protection of the sensor,
void the warranty, and incur
additional repair charges.
