User Manual

Figure1.3: This symbol indicates that the sensor emits laser radiation.
Figure1.4: This symbol indicates the presence of a hot surface that may cause skin burn.
The OS2 is a hermetically sealed unit, and is non user-serviceable.
Use of controls, or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein,
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Use of the OS2 is subject to the Terms of Sale that you agreed and signed with Ouster or your
distributor/integrator. Included in these terms are the prohibitions of:
Removing or otherwise opening the sensor housing
Inspecting the internals of the sensor
Reverse-engineering any part of the sensor
Permitting any third party to do any of the foregoing
Operating the sensor without the attached mount that is shipped with the sensor, or attaching
the sensor to a surface of inappropriate thermal capacity runs the risk of having the sensor
overheat under certain circumstances.
This lidar sensor features a modular cap design to enable more flexible mounting and integration
solutions for the sensor.
The modular cap design increases design flexibility but it does not remove the need for ther-
mal management on top of the sensor. The attached radial cap serves an important thermal
management purpose and the sensor will not operate properly without a cap.
Operation for extended periods of time without the cap will result in system errors and the sen-
sor overheating. The cap can be replaced with alternative solutions but it cannot be left off
altogether.
If you wish to operate the sensor with a custom mounting solution, please contact our Field Ap-
plication Team
and we can answer your questions and provide guidance for achieving proper
operations.
This product emits Class 1 invisible laser radiation. The entire window is considered to be the
laser aperture. While Class 1 lasers are considered to be “eye safe”, avoid prolonged direct view-
