5. Laser Safety
The gapCONTROL 27xx sensors operate with a semiconductor laser having a wave-
length of 660 nm (visible/red). The laser operation is indicated visually by the LED on
the sensor.
gapCONTROL 27xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 10 mW are classified
in Laser Class 2M (IIM). The following information labels are fitted to the sensor hous-
ing (front and rear side). If both information labels are hidden in the installed state, the
user must ensure that additional labels are fitted at the point of installation.
IEC 60825-1: 2015-07
P≤10 mW; E≤65 W/m²; =660 nm
Hazard to the eye via laser radiation! Consciously close your
eyes or turn away if the laser radiation impinges on the eye.
Lasers of Class 2M are not subject to notification and a laser protection officer is not
required. Mark the laser area recognizable and everlasting.
Laser Class 3B
gapCONTROL 27xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 20 mW are classified
in Laser Class 3B (IIIB).
When using lasers of 3B class appropriate protective glasses
are necessarily! Injury of the eyes and the skin by laser radia-
tion!
Class 3B (IIIB) laser sensors are notifiable and a laser protection officer is required
either. During operation the laser area has to be restricted and marked. The following
information label should be fitted to the sensor housing (front and rear side):
Warning - Laser radiation
Avoid exposure to beam
Class 3B Laser Product
IEC 60825-1: 2015-07
P50 mW; =660 nm iSensors of Laser Class 3B
(IIIB) need an external key
switch to switch off the laser,
see Chap. “Laser switching”.
Beam attenuator
The beam attenuator prevents access to all
laser and collateral radiation. The figures show
the sensor with closed and open beam attenu-
ator. The beam attenuator must be open during
measurement.

External laser switching
Series LLT27xx(502), LLT27xx(503), LLT27xx(504) and LLT27xx(505) sensors offer this
function.
iSensors of Laser Class 3B (IIIB) need an external key switch to switch off the laser.
Use a serial key switch inside the control circuit to switch off the laser. You will
find details for the wiring in the instruction manual, Chap. 5.2.4.

- The sensors are supported by an automatically, sensor adapted IP address in the
link-local-net (169.254.x.x). There is no collision testing effected.
This is the standard setting.
- The sensor supports the DHCP protocol. This setting is activated by default and
has priority over the retrieval in the link-local-net.
- A fixed IP address can be used.
Use the „Ethernet Configurator“ software provided on the CD in order to make
the sensor settings described above.
8. First Profile
Now start the gapCONTROL Setup Software. Click on “Display Profiles“ in the
main window.
If the software shows the
error message “No gap-
CONTROL found” in the
status line, please check the
Ethernet connection between
gapCONTROL and PC.
On the left side you can
adjust the settings for your
measurement task, the right
side shows the profile data
and information about the
measurement.

Connect the Supply Voltage
Digital output modules need a field supply of 5 VDC or 24 VDC depending on the
module type.
After mounting of the modules install the required wiring.
Connect the “System supply (out)“ terminals of the OU-Filter module to the
“System supply (in)“ terminals of the OU-Fieldbus Coupler (0 V and 24 V).
Connect the system supply (in) of the OU-Filter module to the power supply (0 V
and 24 V).
Connect the field supply (in) of the OU-Filter module to the power supply (0 V
and 24 V resp. 0 V and 5 V).
iThe system supply and field supply should be separated to ensure the bus operation and electrical isolation in case of a short-circuit of an actor.
10. System Requirements gapCONTROL Setup Software
The following minimum system requirements are necessary:
- Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows 8 oder 8.1 (32 bit und 64 bit), Windows 10
(32 bit und 64 bit)
- 1-GHz-Prozessor (32 bit und 64 bit) or faster / 1 GB RAM
- Screen resolution: 1024 x 768

11. Quick Start: Commissioning, Software
Install the software.
Please insert the gapCONTROL Setup
Software CD in the CD-ROM device.
Follow the dialog through the installa-
tion process.
A. Reading of installation help
B. Installation of software
C. Further informations in the online
documentation
Mount the sensor according to the installation instructions.
Connect the sensor to the PC via the Ethernet cable.
Connect the sensor to display or monitoring units.
Connect the sensor to the power supply.
The connectors for the operating voltage, switching signals and Ethernet are fitted
with push-pull locking.
Pull apart at the grip to release the connection.
Connect the shield of the power supply cable to the PE protective earth conduc-
tor of the main power supply. Close unused connection plugs with the provided
protective caps. Switch on the power supply (24 VDC).
iOnly connect the sensor to the peripheral equipment, if it is disconnected from the power supply, i.e. only when the operating voltage is switched off. The sen-
sor needs a warm-up time of typically 20 minutes for high precision measure-
ments.
Please wait until the gapCONTROL device is recognized by the PC.
This may take a few seconds.
Now you can operate the gapCONTROL measurement system with the gapCONTROL
Setup Software.
iNo driver is required for sensors with an Ethernet interface.
