Question about LI Install

[Eleggua]

Hi,

Check out this pic:



Is the part of the head that "sees" the lidar the little bubble on the left of the head (to the right on this picture)?

Should I turn the head over so the bubble is more in the center of the bike away from the edge so it can see better?

It's also a bit back in the air intake. Do you think this will work?

Should I install another head in the other side? Or is this one enough?

Anyone know how much power this uses? I'm trying to judge how much it's drawing so I can calculate power availability on the bike.

Thanks.

Yes

Should I turn the head over so the bubble is more in the center of the bike away from the edge so it can see better?

I would because that should give you equal receiver coverage from extreme left and right angle shots.

It's also a bit back in the air intake. Do you think this will work?

You could move it forward a tad. The advice I have received suggests the best position is one that offers an unobstructed view of the road, mounted level and parallel with the road.

Should I install another head in the other side? Or is this one enough?

Other forum members more experienced than me please comment. I would imagine that one head is enough up front (and the other head on the back of the bike for rear shots?)

Anyone know how much power this uses? I'm trying to judge how much it's drawing so I can calculate power availability on the bike.

Sure: From the LI Manual:

Power: 12-15 V
CPU Box current: 70mA (max 700mA)
Outer sensors: 30mA
Operational temperature: -30 to +70 C

Thanks

You are welcome..

Best,

X2 you need to move it forward a tad so that the LI has a better chance to see and jam the gun.

I would also think that one head would be enough if you flipped it over and moved it forward. I would pm racerx as he has done allot of testing on his motorcycle.

A question for LI guys:

How wide is the LI laser beam in degrees?

In other words: what's the maximum admitted error in levelling the two heads when instaling it?

If the car is heavy loaded (example: 2/3 guys in the back seats) may the heads shoot too high?

thank you...

check out a details for SPLP90_3 osram laser.

(My Google Fu Skillz are Leet!)

here's the low down on it:

Seems the beam divergence is 11°by 25°

Thats a nice spread....Isnt that the same as the LPP?

I'm glad they are Osram, good to know that the components are top notch. How does the angle and power 25w compare to the LPP and AL.

It's not 25W diode!

SPL PL90_3 is Nanostack Pulsed Laser Diode in Plastic Package 75 W Optical Peak Power! (Peak output power is 90W)

The same diode is used in LPP and AL.
