1.4 Measurement range
The DLS-B(H) is an optical instrument, whose operation is influenced by environmental conditions. Therefore,
the measurement range achieved in use may vary. The following conditions may influence the measurement
range:
Key Factors increasing range Factors reducing range
Target surface Bright and reflective surfaces such as the
target plates (See 9 Accessories on page 35)
att and dark surfaces
Green and blue surfaces
Airborne particles Clean air Dust, fog, heavy rainfall, heavy snowfall
Sunshine Darkness Bright sunshine on the target
The DLS-B(H) does not compensate for the influence of the atmospheric environment, which may be relevant
when measuring long distances (e.g. > 150m). These effects are described in:
B.Edlen: “The Refractive Index of ir, Metrologia 2”, 71-80 (1966)
1.5 Prevention of erroneous measurements
1.5.1 Rough surfaces
On a rough surface (e.g. coarse plaster), measure against the center of the illuminated area. To avoid measuring
to the bottom of gaps in the surface use a target plate (see accessories) or board.
1.5.2 Transparent surfaces
To avoid measuring errors, do not measure against transparent surfaces such as colorless liquids (such as water)
or (dust-free) glass. In case of unfamiliar materials and liquids, always carry out a trial measurement.
Erroneous measurements can occur when aiming through panes of glass,
or if there are several objects in the line of sight.
1.5.3 Wet, smooth, or high-gloss surfaces
1 Aiming at an “acute“ angle deflects the laser beam. The DLS-B(H) may receive a signal that is
too weak (error message 255) or it may measure the distance targeted by the deflected laser beam.
2 If aiming at a right angle, the DLS-B(H) may receive a signal that is too strong (error message 256).
1.5.4 Inclined, round surfaces
easurement is possible as long as there is enough target surface area for the laser spot.
1.5.5 Multiple reflections
Erroneous measurements may occur if the laser beam is reflected by other objects than the target. Avoid any
reflective object along the measurement path.

2 Device setup
We recommend that you carry out the configuration steps in an office before mounting the device, especially if
you are not familiar with the DLS-B(H).
The DLS-B(H) supports two types of operating modes:
•Controlled mode
•Automatic mode (for use in stand-alone operation)
The first decision to be taken is the type of operating mode that will be used to transmit the distance
measurement data. While the controlled mode provides maximum flexibility and accuracy, it is often not suitable
for integration into existing PLCs or analog environments. In such cases the automatic mode might be preferred.
Key controlled mode automatic mode
(with analog and/or digital outputs
Accuracy aximum measurement accuracy Accuracy depends on signal scaling
(see 8.3.5 Set/Get distance range (sNv) on page
26)
Flexibility Access to full command set Limited
Integration Requires protocol implementation Wiring of AO and/or DO signals
Connection Connection of up to 10 DLS-B(H)s to a
single RS-422 line.
Point-to-point connection
The following two sections describe the configuration of the DLS-B(H) for the controlled and automatic modes.
2.1 onnection
To be able to configure the DLS-B(H), it must be powered and connected to a PC. Figure 2 shows the necessary
connections. On the PC, any terminal program can be used to communicate with the module. A configuration
utility is also available on the web page www.dimetix.com.

2.2 ontrolled mode
In controlled mode, each operation of a DLS-B(H) is triggered by a command sent from a host system over a
serial line. While a single device can be connected to the host system using the RS232 interface, up to 10
devices can be connected to a single serial RS422 line. The related command set is described in Chapter 8 on
page 20.

2.2.2 Host software
Host software is required for operation of the DLS-B(H) in controlled mode. When connecting multiple devices
to a single serial line (RS422), strict aster-Slave communication must be implemented (DLS-B(H) operates as
slave). For software sample-code or application-notes please consult our web site www.dimetix.com.
Careful testing of the host software together with the devices prior to installation is strongly recommended.

note that the ID switch must be reset manually.
2.4 Display Mode
If Display ode is enabled, the DLS-B(H) formats the measured distance as ASCII string, which is understood by
External Displays with a serial interface. Since the DLS-B(H) outputs this formatted string automatically on the
serial interface after completing a measurement. easurement results can be displayed on an external display
without an additional controller.
For a detailed description of this mode, please contact Dimetix or your dealer.

4.1 Measuring accuracy
The measuring accuracy corresponds to the ISO-recommendation ISO/R
1938-1971 with a statistical confidence level of 95.4% (i.e. ± twice the
standard deviation σ, refer to diagram on the right). The typical
measuring accuracy relates to average conditions for measuring. It is
±1.5mm for the DLS-B(H) 15 and ± 3.0mm for the DLS-B(H) 30 valid in
the tracking mode
The maximum measuring error relates to unfavorable conditions such
as:
- Highly reflective surfaces (e.g. reflector tapes)
- Operation at the limits of the permitted temperature range,
adaptation to ambient temperature canceled
- Very bright ambient conditions, strong heat shimmer
and can be up to ± 2 mm for DLS-B(H) 15 and ± 5 mm for DLS-B(H) 30. The DLS-B(H) does not compensate
changes of atmospheric environment. These changes can influence the accuracy if measuring long distances
(>150m) under conditions very different from 20°C, 60% relative humidity and 953 mbar air pressure. The
influences of the atmospheric environment are described in

5.1 ID switch
This switch is used to set the module ID and can be set from 0 to 9. Default setting is 0.
5.2 Reset switch
To reset the module to factory settings do the following:
•Switch OFF the power for the module
•Press the reset button and keep it pressed
•Switch on the power for the module
•Keep the reset button pressed until all LEDs on the module are illuminated
•Release the reset button.
•Switch the power OFF and wait 5 seconds.
•Switch on the power and wait until the green power LED is on.
5.3 Digital output
The DLS-B(H) contains two digital outputs for level monitoring (DO 1 and DO 2)
and one digital output for error signalization (DO E). These outputs are open drain
outputs as shown in figure 7 and can drive up to 200mA. aximum switching
voltage is 30V DC. In the ON state, the FET transistor is electro conductive.
5.4 Digital Input
The Digital Output (DO 1) can be configured as a Digital Input (DI 1). This is useful for triggering measurements
by means of an external switch or push button. Please refer to chapter 8.4 Digital Input on page 30.
Low Level is: U DI1 < 2VDC
High Level is: U DI1 > 9VDC and U DI1 < 30VDC
5.5 Analog output
The analog output of the DLS-B(H) is a current source (0..20mA or 4..20mA). It is capable of driving loads up to
500Ω. The analog output has an accuracy of +/- 1% Full scale.
e.g. The configured measurement range is 0...20m and the actual measured distance is 14m. This results in a
measurement uncertainty of ± 0.2m (1% of 20m), which includes all parameters (temperature drift,
sensor accuracy, linearity, target color etc.). The uncertainty decreases, if the ambient temperature is
stable.

8 ommand set
8.1 General
8.1.1 ommand termination <trm>
All commands for the DLS-B(H) are ASCII based and terminated <trm> with <cr><lf>.
8.1.2 Module identification N
Since the module can be addressed with the ID switch, the ID is represented in the commands by N. At the
location of the N insert the odule ID.
8.1.3 Parameter separator
The command syntax uses the '+' sign as parameter separator. The '+' sign can be replaced by the minus '-'
sign if applicable by the command.
8.1.4 Set/Get ommands
All configuration commands that are used to set configuration values can also be used to read the currently set
value by omitting the parameter. The command syntax is described as follows:
Set ommand Get ommand
Command sNuof+xxxxxxxx<trm> sNuof<trm>
Return successful gNof?<trm> gNuof+xxxxxxxx<trm>
Return Error gN@Ezzz gN@Ezzz
Parameters Nodule ID
xxxxxxxx Offset in 1/10 mm; + positive / - negative
zzz Error code
8.1.5 Startup sequence
After power on the DLS-B(H) does all the initializations and sends a start sequence gN?. On this sequence, the
N stands for the odule ID. After sending this start sequence, the DLS-B(H) is ready to use.
