1 General Information
1.1 Explanation of Symbols
The symbols used in this operating manual are explained below.
Attention
Thissymbol appears in frontoftextwhichmust be carefully observed. Failure
to heed this information can lead to injuries to personnel or damage to the
equipment.
Attention Laser Radiation
This symbol warns of possible danger through hazardous laser radiation.
Notice
This symbol indicates text which contains important information.
1.2 Important Terms
Triangulation
Distance measuring procedure, which determines the distance of an object
by the incidence angle of the light reflected from the object.
Absolute measurement
accuracy
Shows the possible divergence of the measurement value from the anticipat-
ed value through changes in the environmental conditions during the mea-
suring process. Higher accuracy is given at constant environmental condi-
tions.
Repeatability
Measuring distance change with repeated measurement at the same output
signal (observe the same peripheral conditions as with resolution).
Resolution
Thesmallestpossibledistancechange ofthemeasuredobject,whichcauses
a definite change in the output signal. Resolution is higher in the proximate
area than in the distant area. Small objects can be recognized better in the
proximate area.
Remission
Return and/or degree of reflection of the radiated light.
Integration time
The integration time of the ODS 96 is comparable to the exposure time in a
camera. It is automatically adjusted to the intensity of the reflected light and
thus depends on the reflectance factor of the measured object. It is inversely
proportional to the measurement frequency.
Measurement
frequency
The measurement frequency represents the number of measurements per
second. When adjusting the integration time to the reflectivity independency,
the measurement frequency changes corresponding to the reflectivity value.
Response time
The time period required by the ODS to obtain stable measurements after
change of the reflectivity behavior.
Delay before
start-up
The delay before start-up indicates the point in time when the first valid mea-
surement can be obtained after switching on.

Safety Notices Leuze electronic
6 ODS 96 Leuze electronic
Light switching/
Dark switching
Indicates the behavior of the switching output when an object is inside the
tought/parametered switching distance. At light switching, the switching out-
put is active (high), at dark switching inactive.
Insensitivity towards
extraneous light
Indicates the insensitivity of the measurement result towards extraneous
light. The ODS 96 is reliably measuring even with extraneous light intensity
of 5 kLux. Typical light intensity in a work place is only 1 kLux.
1.3 Declaration of Conformity
The optical distance sensors of the series ODS 96 have been manufactured
observing current European standards and guidelines.
Notice
The corresponding declaration of conformity can be requested from the
manufacturer.
The manufacturer of the product, Leuze electronic GmbH & Co. in D-73277
Owen/Teck, possesses a certified quality assurance system in accordance
with ISO 9001.

3 Description
3.1 General description
The ODS 96 is a distance measuring device with a large area of application.
The equipment is available as LED or laser version with analog or digital out-
puts. The distance measuring device works on the triangulation principle and
uses a CCD line for evaluating the measurement signal.
An integrated microcontroller enables parameter programming via an option-
al programming software. Except for the RS 485 interface, the switching
points of the switching outputs of all other types can be set without software
via a teach-in input.
Through adjustment of the integration time (exposure time) to the intensity of
theobjects’reflectedlight,ahighdegreeofindependence fromthe reflectivity
propertiesofthemeasuredobjectisachieved.Incaseoflow reflectivity (dark
objects) a lower measurement frequency results.
Accessories
To expand the functionality of the ODS 96, a programming software is avail-
able.
With regard to their dimensions, the ODS 96 distance sensors are identical
with the sensors of the series 96 of Leuze electronic. Particularly, the mount-
ing accessories of the series 96 can be used for the ODS 96. Details can be
found in section 4 "Technical Data".
3.2 Typical Areas of Application for the ODS 96
3.2.1 Continuous Distance Measuring
All ODS 96 types with analog or digital output can be used for continuous dis-
tance measuring. In order to use all features of the ODS 96, use of the pro-
gramming software is recommended.
Depending on position or settings of the ODS, various applications are pos-
sible:
•Measuring the thickness of planks with two opposing sensors and a dif-
ferential of the two measured values.
•Stack/Object height measuring
Even with difficult surfaces, the stack/ object height of moving objects
can be measured. Averaging is recommended here.
•Contour determination through controlled passing movement of an
object through the beam of the ODS 96.
•Volume measuring by taking measurements on two levels during the
concurrent movement of the object. Leuze electronic offers a system
solution: the VMS volume measurement system.
In case of ODS 96 types with analog outputs, it is recommended to limit the
working range of the analog output to the required distance range. The ana-
log output will then be activated within the distance range from 1 ... 10 V or
4 - 20 mA. Distances outside this range will automatically have an output
voltage of < 1 V, 4 mA or > 10 V, 20 mA.

3.2.2 Positioning Tasks
For simple positioning tasks, all ODS 96 M/S types with two teachable
switching outputs are suitable.
The ODS 96 is mounted in a way to enable positioning in the direction of the
measuring beam. Both switching outputs are tought to the required position.
In case the distance is smaller than the tought position, switching output 1 is
active and switches the positioning motor to enlarge the distance. In case the
distance is bigger than the tought position, switching output 2 is active and
switches the positioning motor to reduce the distance.
Using this method, positioning tasks can be performed without difficulties.
Figure 3.1: Application example "Positioning Tasks"
3.2.3 Filling Level Control for Bulk Goods
For the filling level control in connection with control of material flow, all ODS
96 types with one switching output are suitable. However, the programming
software is required to adjust the hysteresis.
The ODS 96 is mounted ensuring that its measuring beam meets the surface
of the bulk good vertically. Using the software, function of Q1 is set to "light
switching" and the minimal filling level entered as lower limit. The upper limit
is set to the maximum range of the ODS (600 mm or 2000 mm, depending on
the ODS type). The distance between minimum and maximum filling level is
entered as hysteresis.

Material flow is switched on/off by the ODS as soon as the filling level falls
below the lower limit or reaches the maximum.
