6. Mechanical Integration
This section provides recommendations for the mechanical integration of the Leddar Pixell.
See section 5.2 on page 40 for mounting information and section 7 on page 47 for information on connecting
the sensor.
It is strongly recommended not to install the sensor behind a window in order to maintain
performance.
As seen in Fig. 32 and Fig. 33 on next page, when installing the sensor, leave a minimum clearance of 8 mm
on the top, sides, and bottom of the sensor. Leave an opening of 10 mm minimum at the back of the sensor
to evacuate the heat (red arrows) properly.
You must also leave enough space for the FoV so that there is no interference with the transmission and
reception of light detections. The FoV integration must span further than the 15.5°

vertical FoV to preserve
the transmission of the outer segment of the sensor.
