Power. Connect the red and black wires to vehicle power. Be sure red is positive polarity. THE HDL-64E IS RATED ONLY FOR 12 VOLTS. Any voltage applied over 16 volts could damage the unit. Expect the unit to draw 4-6 amps during normal usage. -
Page 10: Correction Angles
C o r r e c t i o n A n g l e s Each HDL-64E laser is fixed with respect to vertical angle and offset to the rotational index data provided in each packet. For each data point issued by the HDL-64E, rotational and horizontal correction factors must be applied to determine the point’s location in 3-D space referred to by... -
Page 11: Controlling The Spin Rate
C o n t r o l l i n g t h e S p i n R a t e The HDL-64E can spin at rates ranging from 300 RPM (5 Hz) to 900 RPM (15 Hz). The default is 600 RPM (10 Hz). -
