Section 1
1 Laser Safety
1.1 General Information
The laser light sources used in LMI Sensors are semiconductor lasers emitting visible
light.
LMI Laser Sensors have a 2/ll, 3R/llla or 3B/lllb classification depending on model.
Class 2/ll and 3R/llla sensors are referred to as “products” indicating that they fully
comply with the standards relating to laser products specified in IEC 60825-1 and U.S.
FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,
dated July 26, 2001.
Class 3B/lllb sensors are sold only to qualified OEM’s as “components” for incorporation
into their own equipment. The sensors do not incorporate safety items which the OEM is
required to provide in their own equipment (e.g. remote interlocks, key control). As such
these sensors do not fully comply with the standards relating to laser products specified
in IEC 60825-1 and FDA CFR Title 21 Part 1040.
Caution!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

1. International Standard IEC 60825-1 (2001-08) Consolidated edition, Safety of
laser products – Part 1: Equipment classification, requirements and user’s guide
2. Technical Report TR 60825-10, safety of laser products – Part 10. Application
guidelines and explanatory notes to IEC 60825-1
3. Laser Notice No. 50, FDA and CDRH http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/rad-health.html
1.2 Laser Classification
1.2.1 Laser Classes
Class 2/ll laser products:
Class 2/ll laser products would not cause
permanent damage to the eye under
reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation, provided that any exposure can
be terminated by the blink reflex (assumed
to take 0.25 sec). Because classification
assumes the blink reflex, the wavelength of
light must be in the visible range (400 nm to
700 nm). The Maximum Permissible
Exposure (MPE) for visible radiation for 0.25
second is 25 Watt per square meter, which
is equivalent to 1 mW entering an aperture
of 7 mm diameter (the assumed size of the
pupil).
Class 3R/llla laser products:
Class 3R/llla laser products emit radiation
where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially
hazardous, but the risk is lower than for
3B/lllb lasers. Fewer manufacturing
requirements and control measures for
users apply than for 3B/lllb lasers.
Class 3B/lllb laser components:
Class 3B/lllb components are unsafe for eye
exposure. Usually only ocular protection
would be required. Diffuse reflections are
safe if viewed for less than 10 seconds.
Labels reprinted here are
examples relevant to the laser
classes. For detailed
specifications observe the label
on your laser sensor

LMI Class 3B/lllb laser components do not incorporate the safety items indicated by
asterisks ** in the table above. These items must be added and completed by the OEM
in the system design.
1.2.3 Class 3B/lllb OEM Responsibilities
LMI Technologies has filed reports with the FDA to assist the OEM in achieving
certification of their laser products. The OEM can reference these reports by an
accession number that will be provided upon request.
Detailed descriptions of the safety items that must be added to the OEM design are
listed below:

8
Remote Interlock
A remote interlock connection must be present in Class IIIB laser systems. This permits
remote switches to be attached in serial with the keylock switch on the controls. The
deactivation of any remote switches must prevent power from being supplied to any
lasers.
Key Control
A key operated master control to the lasers that prevents any power from being supplied
to the lasers while in the OFF position. The key can be removable in the OFF position
but the switch must not allow the key to be removed from the lock while in the ON
position.
Power-On Delays
A delay circuit is required that illuminates warning indicators for a short period of time
prior to supplying power to the lasers.
Beam Attenuators
A permanently attached method of preventing human access to the laser radiation other
than switches, power connectors or key control must be employed. On some LMI laser
sensors, the beam attenuator is supplied with the sensor as an integrated mechanical
shutter.
Emission Indicator
It is required that the controls that operate the sensors incorporate a visible or audible
indicator when power is applied and the lasers are operating. If distance (>2 m between
sensor and controls) or mounting of sensors intervenes with observation of these
indicators, a second power-on indicator should be mounted at some readily observable
position. When mounting the warning indicators, it is important not to mount them in a
location that would require human exposure to the laser emissions.
Warning Signs
Laser warning signs must be located in the vicinity of the sensor such that they will be
readily observed. Examples of laser warning signs are:
FDA Example IEC Example

1.3 Requirements for Laser Systems Sold or Used In the USA
The OEM’s laser system which incorporates laser components or laser products
manufactured by LMI Technologies requires certification by the FDA.
It is the responsibility of the OEM to achieve and maintain this certification.
OEM’s are advised to obtain the information booklet Regulations for the Administration
and Enforcement of the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968: HHS
Publication FDA 88-8035.
This publication, containing the full details of laser safety requirements, can be obtained
directly from the FDA, or downloaded from their website at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh.
1.4 EyeCon 2XX0 Laser Safety Specification
Laser Classification: 3B/IIIb laser component
Peak Power: 130mW

Section 2
2 Getting Started
Warning! EyeCon 2XX0 sensors are class 3B/IIIb components. Please read Section
1: Laser Safety above, and institute the necessary safety precautions before turning
these sensors on.
This section provides a brief introduction to the EyeCon 2XX0 sensors. It identifies the
components supplied by LMI Technologies, and the additional components required to
get a basic system up and running. This is followed by instructions on how to connect
these components together, and how to install and run our client software to acquire
basic profile data to ensure sensor operation out-of-the-box.
More detailed information is given in the sections that follow this "Getting Started" guide.
2.1 Components
LMI Technologies provides EyeCon 2XX0 sensors, a Master and information on cables
to power and network the Sensors, Master and the Station PC. The user must provide a
power supply, a safety interlock controller, a Station PC, a Gigabit Ethernet switch and
cables to connect them to the Sensors and the Master.
2.1.1 Sensors
EyeCon 23X0
EyeCon 24X0
EyeCon 22X0

11
2.1.2 Master
The FireSync Master supplies power to the sensors and provides system-wide
synchronization information (ie. time, encoder count, and digital I/O states).
Master 400 replaces the first generation FireSync Master. Unlike the first generation of
FireSync Master, Master 400 does not route Ethernet data from the sensors to the host.
A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet switch is required to network the sensors and the Station
PC.
For detailed information about the Master 400, please refer to the FireSync Network
Generation 2 User’s Manual. For detailed information about the 1st Generation FireSync
Master, please refer to the FireSync Network Generation 1 User’s Manual.
Master 400 (2nd Generation)
Warning! Use extreme caution wiring the FireSync Master. Do not plug Ethernet
equipment into the RJ45 ports.
Master/Station (1st Generation)

12
2.1.3 Station
An EyeCon 2XX0 system needs a Station in order to operate. This computer must run
Windows XP or Windows 7 and is not supplied by LMI Technologies.
The station must have two Ethernet adapters. One Ethernet adapter is connected to the
sensors network via a Gigabit Ethernet network switch. This adapter on must be
assigned a static IP in the range 90.0.0.1 to 90.0.0.5. We refer to this as the “IN”
adapter. The second Ethernet adapter must also be assigned a static IP of the user’s
preference. This is the “OUT” adapter.
After installing the Station software this computer acts as a FireSync Host Protocol
Server. “OUT” is to be used for the Host Protocol. The next step is to upgrade the
Station and sensors by sending an upgrade package over the FireSync Host Protocol
with a Client computer.
For more information about the FireSync Host Protocol, please refer to the in the Host
Protocol Reference Manual. Refer to the Station Setup Guide for complete details on the
FireSync Station. For more information about the Station, please refer to the FireSync
Network Generation 2 User’s Manual.
Please note that FireSync Station 1000 PCs (no longer available) can be used in
conjunction with 1st or 2nd generation Master hardware. For detailed information about
the Station 1000 please refer to the Network Generation 1 User’s Manual.

13
2.1.4 Cables
The FireSync Network cordset is a cable that contains two CAT5e cables within one
shroud. One of these CAT5e cables is used to carry data between a sensor and a
network switch, and the other cable is used to send power, safety and synchronization
signals to a sensor. Note that, the cordset required to connect the sensor to the Master
differs between 1st and 2nd generation Master hardware.
FireSync Network Cordset (2nd Generation Master Hardware)

14
FireSync Sensor Cordset (1st Generation Master Hardware) (5m)
Station Cordset (1st Generation Master Hardware) (0.5m)
2.1.5 Power Supply
The user must provide a suitable +48VDC power supply for the system. If the system
employs a Station 1000, a separate +12VDC supply will also be required. These power
supplies’ outputs must be isolated from AC ground.
LMI Technologies recommends use of a Phoenix Contact, QUINT, 10 Amp power supply
(for +48VDC) and a Lambda DSP60-12 power supply (for +12VDC). They are both DIN
rail mounted devices that can be connected in parallel to increase the overall available
power.
+48VDC
Model: QUINT-PS-100-240AC/48DC/10
Order number: 2938248

15
+12VDC
Model: DSP60-12
Order number: 285-1233-ND
2.1.6 Safety Interlock Controller
The user must provide a means of enabling all sensors’ safety interlock input. This input
requires +48VDC to be activated. See section 2.2 for an explanation of the EyeCon
2XX0 safety interlock.
2.1.7 Host Computer
The user must also provide a suitable host computer. This must be equipped with a
Gigabit Ethernet port to communicate with the Station PC. The Client Interface to the
Station is OS independent. However, this computer must run Windows XP to install and
run our FireSync Client demonstration application.
2.2 Connections
2.2.1 Sensors to Master
For complete details for connecting the sensors to the Master 400 and a Station PC,
please refer to the FireSync Network Generation 2 User Manual. For information on
connecting the sensors to the first generation FireSync Master and Station 1000, please
see FireSync Network Generation 1 User Manual.
2.2.2 Station to Host Computer
A standard CAT5e Gigabit Ethernet cable (RJ45 connectors) is used to connect the
FireSync Station, via the RJ45 connector "OUT", to a Gigabit Ethernet port on the host
computer. If two or more Stations are required in the system, this connection can be
made to a single host computer via separate Gigabit Ethernet cards, via a Gigabit
Ethernet switch, or via multiple processing stations.
2.2.3 Power Supply to Master/Station
The 48 VDC power supply is wired to the Phoenix connectors on the Master, Station*
and Slave (if a Slave is required). Refer to the FireSync Network User Manual for
details.
*A separate +12VDC power supply will be required to power up any Station 1000s in the
system.
2.2.4 Safety Interlock
. Each EyeCon sensor has a safety interlock input which can be used to turn off the
laser, without disrupting power to the sensor, as a safety precaution. The OEM is
responsible for installing a cabled switch between a +48VDC safety interlock controller
and the input on each sensor, as shown in the diagram below. When the switch is
closed and +48VDC is applied to the input, the laser will turn on. The laser will turn off if
this voltage is removed.

•Recommended external cordset: RK4.4T-16
2.3 FireSync Client (Basic)
FireSync Client is a software application that can be used to demonstrate, test, or
diagnose problems with EyeCon 2XX0 Series sensors.
FireSync Client is not intended to solve any industrial application. For instance, it does
not store measurement data or facilitate user-defined calculations. It does, however,
demonstrate all the configuration and communication capabilities defined by the
FireSync Host Protocol.
This section describes the most common activities performed with the FireSync Client
application
2.3.1 Installation
The FireSync Client application is available for Windows XP. Obtain the software from
LMI Technologies and install it on a suitable Client machine. The Client machine should
have an Ethernet adaptor that can be configured for a static IP address. The FireSync
Station typically ships with the address 192.168.1.10, though this may vary by request.
Set the Client machine to an available address on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.9)
and then connect a Category 5E Ethernet cable from the Client machine to the FireSync
Station.

17

18
2.3.2 Connection
After starting FireSync Client (kClient.exe) from the installation folder, use the lightning
icon in the toolbar to display the Connect... dialog. When prompted, enter the IP address
of the FireSync station.
2.3.3 Server Upgrade
After connecting, the server will be displayed as “Server S/N 0”. This means that the
Station is new from the factory and has not had the EyeCon 2XX0 software installed on
it. The next step is to upgrade the server. Select the server, then select Upgrade from
the Server menu. You will be prompted to select an upgrade file. This file is located on
the LMI Technologies support website.
Follow this procedure whenever a firmware update is released by LMI.
2.3.4 Server Configuration
Use the Setup tab to specify the number of sensors in your EyeCon 2XX0 network and
the resolution of the encoder. After you change the number of sensors, a corresponding
number of entries will be created in the device tree at left.

19
Assign a serial number to each of the entries in the device tree, as shown below.
2.3.5 Server Health
After connecting, click on the device tree node for the server and then click on the Health
visualization tab, as show below. Health indicators can be used to help diagnose a wide
variety of conditions. Note that some indicators are updated constantly, while others are
only updated if the system is in the Running state.

20
2.3.6 Sensor Health
After creating entries for each sensor, click on the device tree node for each sensor and
review the Sensor Health visualization tab. As with the server health indicators, some
sensor health indicators are updated constantly, while others are only updated if the
system is in the Running state.
