1 About this document
1.1 General information
This document describes the installation and operation of the Cube and
Cube Range LiDAR sensors manufactured by Blickfeld GmbH. It provides
important information regarding the use of said products and is intended for
qualified personnel that is familiar with the local work safety regulations and
general safety regulations applicable for the application area.
For better readability, those products will be referred to as Cube in this man-
ual when all product variants are concerned in the same way. Where differ-
ences between the two products exist, they will be referred to by their respec-
tive type names explicitly. Schematic drawings that depict the Cube also
apply to the Cube Range unless specified otherwise.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This manual contains all of the information necessary to safely mount, install
and start up the Cube. Therefore, read and follow the safety and warning
notes before beginning work.

EXAMPLE
WARNING Laser radiation warning
If the Cube is not operated correctly, the optical radia-
tion may injure the eyes and skin.
•Never open the protective housing of the Cube.
•Never intentionally look into the optical component
of the Cube while the Cube is switched on.
MEANING OF THE SIGNAL WORDS
Meaning of the signal words in this user manual:
Safety symbol Signal word Meaning
Danger This signal word is used to indicate
an imminently dangerous situation
which, if not prevented, will lead to
serious injury or death.
Warning This signal word is used to indicate a
potentially dangerous situation which,
if not prevented, may lead to death or
serious injury.
Caution This signal word is used to indicate a
potentially dangerous situation which,
if not prevented, may lead to light to
moderate injury.
Attention The signal word without a warning sign
is used to indicate the potential danger
of property damage.

2.1 Intended use
The Cube was designed for continuous measurement of 3D point cloud data.
This enables contact-free measurement of distances and contours of the
objects in the field-of-view of the Cube.
Any use that deviates from the specifications in this user manual could lead to
injury or damage.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
Typical areas of application include:
•Detection and counting of objects or persons
•Traffic monitoring
•Robot technology
•Intrusion detection
•UAV- and ground-based mapping
•Logistics and process automatization
•Filling level measurement and asset management
•Geographical surveying
2.2 Unintended use
The Cube may only be operated within the value range defined in the tech-
nical data (see 3.10 on page 27). The user of the Cube must comply with
all local regulations for the operation of laser devices. Despite its high robust-
ness compared to other LiDAR technologies, the Cube is a precise optical
measuring device and must be handled with care.
Blickfeld assumes no liability for damage and danger caused by unintended
or incorrect use. Any use of the Cube outside of the defined technical specifi-
cations and requirements described in this manual is considered unintended
use. Any procedure performed in violation or in neglect of the instructions in
this manual is considered incorrect use.
