1. General
The XQ-L Series Lidar sensors create a virtual 2D surface in which multiple detection areas ("Activation zones") can be defi ned.
The sensor detects when an object enters or exits an Activation zone. With this functionality, a broad variety of applications
can be created, such as Lift&Learn, interactive videowalls and Approach&Learn. This document provides explanation of the
available functionalities and instructions on how to install and integrate the sensor into your digital signage installation.
The information in this document is created for users who are familiar with the Nexmosphere API and are able to control a
basic setup with a Nexmosphere API controller. If this is not the case yet, please read the general documentation on the
Nexmosphere serial API fi rst.
2. Product overview
The XQ-L series Lidar sensors are available in 2 diff erent models, the XQ-L2 and XQ-L5.
The sensor specifi cations are as follows:
Field of View angle
Field of View radius
Max. number of Activation zones
Lifetime (hours)
The XQ-L series Lidar sensors consists out of 2 parts: the Lidar sensor itself and the sensor interface.
sensor interface
Internally, the Lidar sensor has a fast-rotating Infrared laser component which generates a high volume of distance data
samples through Time-of-Flight measurements. With this internal data, the sensor interface creates a 2D view of the sensor
environment and can accurately determine if an object enters or exits a specifi c area within it's detection fi eld, based on X-Y
coordinates.

These are the individual zones within your Field of Interest in which you want to detect the presence of an object or person. The Activation zones can be defi ned by sending commands which contain the coordinates and dimensions of the desired area.

  • Page 8: Installation Requirements And Guidelines

    4.2 Connection Diagrams The XQ-L Series Lidar sensor can be connected to any X-talk interface and is therefore compatible with all Xperience controllers. Make sure the sensor is connected to the X-talk interface before powering the Xperience controller. Otherwise, it will not be recognized by the Xperience controller and no sensor output will be provided.
  • Page 9 PRODUCT MANUAL | XQ-L SERIES - LIDAR SENSORS Installation orientation The sensor can be installed in any orientation, off ering the ability to create a horizontal, vertical or diagonal detection surface. This makes the sensor suitable for a variety of applications. Below several examples are provided:...
  • Page 10 5.1 - Settings The XQ-L Series Lidar sensor has multiple settings which determine the behaviour and output of the sensor. The settings can be adjusted by sending X-talk setting commands via the API. After a power cycle, the settings always return back to default.
  • Page 11 PRODUCT MANUAL | XQ-L SERIES - LIDAR SENSORS 6. Quick test In order to test if the XQ-L Series Lidar sensor is installed correctly, please follow the test procedure below: Step 1 - Setup First, connect the Lidar sensor to an Xperience controller.
