Velodyne Acoustics HDL-64E S2.1 user manual InstaLLation oVerVieW, Front/Back Mounting

The sensor base provides the following mounting options:

•Front/Back mount (Figure 2)

•Side mount (Figure 3)

•Top mount (Figure 4)

The sensor can be mounted at any angle from 0 to 90° with respect to its base. Refer to Appendix A for complete dimensions. For all mounting options, mount the sensor to withstand vibration and shock without risk of detachment. Although helpful for longer life, the unit doesn’t need to be shock proofed as it’s designed to withstand standard automotive G-forces.

The sensor is weatherproofed to withstand wind, rain and other adverse weather conditions. The spinning of the sensor helps it shed excess water from the front window that could hamper performance.
