/ General Safety Information
General Safety Information
•Under NO circumstances should the earth safety connections
be broken – internal damage to sensitive electronic components
may occur and at worst electrocution to personnel may result.
•This equipment must be earthed/grounded.
•Relays and associated wiring are rated for SELV levels i.e. 60
Vdc & 30 vac rms. These levels must not be exceeded.
•Maintenance, repairs and electrical connections should be
performed by a suitably qualified person for the country of
installation.
Intended Use
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Laser Safety Precautions
The laser beam in the optical sensor is very powerful and can permanently damage
eyes not protected by laser safety glasses. To avoid exposing yourself to hazardous
radiation, you must take these precautions:
•Never look into the laser beam. If you must look at the beam,
view it from an angle and in the direction in which the beam is
travelling.
•The beams emitted from the optical sensor are invisible to the
unaided eye. Return the beam shutter to the closed position
when the system is not in use or during setup.
•Ensure that all direct reflections are blocked.
•Remove all rings, watches, or jewelry from your hands when
working on or near the sensor—can cause hazardous
reflections.
•Never install the instrument at eye level.
•Operate the system only with people who have been instructed
in laser safety.
•Post warning signs and lights that are active when laser is
operating.

DataPro 500 Operator Guide
Introduction
Introduction
The DataPro 500 works in conjunction with LaserSpeed models 4000/8000/9000
speed and length sensors to measure and display the accumulated length and speed
of a product. The length is computed by counting pulses that are transmitted by the
LaserSpeed. The indicator has a front panel LED that can be configured, along with
the LaserSpeed, to indicate status information.
Operation
Key Switch
The DataPro 500 front panel key switch provides laser power and beam shutter
interlock protection. Neither the LaserSpeed’s laser nor the beam shutter will be
activated unless this key is turned to the “I” position. If using a remote interlock, this
key switch works in conjunction with the shutter interlock pins on the rear panel.

Operation
Programmable Indicator
You can easily configure the DataPro 500 via the pushbuttons on the front panel
monitor. Depending on the application, the monitor is configured with different settings.
This section describes the general operation of the indicator and how to change
settings.
In general, operators do not configure the indicator and are only concerned with
setpoints, if configured as such, and reset.
