
Laser measurement sensor with a range of up to 10 m
Bright output indicators and real-time distance feedback provide easy setup and
troubleshooting for reduced installation costs
Exceptionally high excess gain enables the sensor to reliably detect the darkest
objects (< 6% reflective black targets), including black targets against a black
background,blacktargetsagainstashinymetalbackground,clearandreflec
tive objects, multicolor packaging, and targets of all colors
Dual independent output channels and communication over IO-Link
Optional Remote Sensor Display (RSD) (available separately) enables remote
programming and monitoring
WARNING:
Do not use this device for personnel protection
Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.

Class2LaserDescriptionandSafetyInformation
ReadthefollowingsafetyinformationforproperuseofaClass2laser.
CAUTION:
Return defective units to the manufacturer.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
mayresultinhazardousradiationexposure.
Donotattempttodisassemblethissensorforrepair.Adefectiveunitmustbereturnedtotheman
ufacturer.
CAUTION:
Neverstaredirectlyintothesensorlens.
Laserlightcandamageyoureyes.
Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.

For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers
Donotstareatthelaser.
Donotpointthelaserataperson’seye.

Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye protection is
normallyaffordedbyaversionresponses,includingtheblinkreflex.Thisreactionmaybeexpectedtoprovideadequatepro
tectionunderreasonablyforeseeableconditionsofoperation,includingtheuseofopticalinstrumentsforintrabeamviewing.
Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25
seconds.Theyalsomustemitonlyvisiblewavelengths(400to700nm).Therefore,anocularhazardmayexistonlyifindivid

CleaningandMaintenance
Cleanthesensorwhensoiledandusewithcare.
Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. may
create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. Blow the window clear using filtered, compressed air,
then clean as necessary using only water and a lint-free cloth.

Output (out1 and out2)
TheOutput1andOutput2menusdifferbetweenChannel1andChannel2.
NOTE: Thenumberthatfollowsoutonthedisplayindicateswhichchannelisselected.
The Output 1 menu is available in Channel 1. Use this menu to select light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). The default
output configuration is light operate. To switch between light operate and dark operate, select the desired menu option.
—Lightoperate
—Darkoperate
The Output 2 menu is available in Channel 2. Use this menu to set the output configuration for Channel 2. The default is light
operate.

ThedefaultistwopointTEACH.For Channel 2, this menu is available when the output is set to light operate or dark operate.

Adaptive Tracking (trc1 and trc2)
In adaptive tracking mode, the laser intensity changes to compensate for a loss in excess gain - normally caused by a dirty
lens.
When operating in dual mode, the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm adjusts the switching thresholds (distance and intensity)
aroundataughtreferencesurface.Adaptivetrackingadjustsforsmallvariationsinthereferencesurfacetomaintainacon
sistent 100P (100%) on the display and to ensure reliable detection. The Adaptive Tracking menu is only available when
TeachCh1issettoDualMode.
Adjustment of the thresholds only occurs when the reference surface is visible to the senor (that is, no target is present). The
Adaptive Tracking Algorithm can reduce or eliminate the need to periodically re-teach the sensor as environmental conditions
changearoundthesensor.
Enable or disable the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm from the sensor menu. The appropriate speed depends on the application.
Thismenuisavailableonlyifdual(intensity+distance)modeisselected.ForChannel2,theoutputmustbesettolightoper
ate or dark operate.

—HighSpeedAdaptiveTrackingOn
—AdaptiveTrackingOn(default)
—AdaptiveTrackingOff
OFF disables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm—Preventsthesensorfromadjustingthethresholdsaroundthetaughtrefer
ence surface while the sensor is in dual mode. The sensor will not adapt to or learn any target. Environmental changes may
causethedisplayedvaluetodeviatefrom100P(100%)overtime.Aperiodicreteachofthereferencesurfacemaybere
quiredtorestorethedisplayedvalueto100Pifthisisimportanttotheapplication.
There are some cases in which disabling adaptive tracking is useful. For example, disable adaptive tracking if the target
passesveryslowlythroughthesensingbeam,ifthetargetmightstopwhilepartiallyblockingthebeam,andiftheenviron
mentalconditionsarestable.
ON enables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm at the standard speed—Recommendedformanyapplicationsdetectinglowcon
trasttargets.Standardadaptivetrackingadjuststhethresholdsaroundslowlychangingbackgroundandenvironmentalcon
ditions. It adjusts the sensor for stable detection when the environment changes due to gradual dust accumulation, machine
vibration, or ambient temperature changes which influence the signal from the reference surface. Standard adaptive tracking
will not easily adapt to or learn slow moving, low contrast targets (for example, clear targets entering and exiting the beam
overapproximately2seconds).
HS enables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm at high speed—Optionaladaptivetrackingsettingusedwithdualmode.Use
highspeedadaptivetrackingwhenthesignalfromthereferencesurfacechangesquicklyduetounstableenvironmentalcon
ditionsandhighcontrastandhighspeedtargetsarebeingdetected.Highspeedadaptivetrackingadjuststhesensorforsta
ble detection in challenging environmental conditions such as dust accumulation, machine vibration, ambient temperature
changes, or a non-stable reference surface (for example, a running belt or web which influences the signal from the reference
surface). For example, if the signal from the reference surface changes by 10% due to environmental effects, high speed
adaptivetrackingadjuststhedisplayedvaluebackto100P(100%)over2to3seconds.
High speed adaptive tracking addresses certain applications where the reference surface is not stable, but the sensor must
detect high speed and high contrast targets reliably. With high speed adaptive tracking there is the potential for the sensor to
adapt the thresholds to slow moving or low contrast targets, leading to missed detection events. If the detection events are
generating small signal changes of similar magnitude to the background changes, detection problems are likely. Stabilize the
referencesurfacetoavoidthisproblem.
WindowSize(wnd1andwnd2)
UsethismenutomanuallysetawindowsizeforsubsequentTEACHoperations.
This menu is available only if one-point window (foreground suppression) mode is selected. The default selection is Auto,
wheretheforegroundsuppression(FGS)windowsizeisautomaticallycalculated.
This setting is automatically applied during any subsequent teach operation. The window size value represents a ±cm value,
so the total window size is twice this value. For example, a window set of 10 cm gives a 20 cm window centered around the
taught point. The window size can also be changed directly from Run mode after changing the setting to any value except
Auto.ForChannel2,theoutputmustbesettolightoperateordarkoperate.
Values:
2000mmmodels:0.1cmto191cm
