Synopsis

A short introduction to the module's purpose

This module acts as the physical housing of all lidar components. Its primary functions are:

  1. The protection of all modules from the environment (e.g. waterproofing, heating, cooling)
  2. From mechanical interference (e.g. by preventing tools, fingers, animals, etc. from gaining access)
  3. From radio-frequency interference (e.g. by providing a Faraday cage around the modules)

The housing is often a closed box that is sealed against the elements.

It is possible that there may be more than one housing in the lidar device, and that the housing is integrated with the different modules.

Safety

A list of possible safety issues related to the module and suggestions for mitigating any possible risks

Opening the housing could expose internal components to the weather, or expose users to high voltages, laser light, or other risks. The housing should therefore be interconnected with the rest of the device to help ensure safe operation.
