Intended Use
- The interferoMETER measuring system is designed for use in an industrial environments and domestic areas.
It is used for
measuring displacement, distance, profile, thickness and surface inspection
monitoring quality and checking dimensions.
- The measuring system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see operating instruc-
tions chap. 3.
- The measuring system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other
material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the controller.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
Proper Environment
- Protection class
sensor: IP40 (with connected sensor cable only)
controller: IP40
Lenses are excluded from protection class. Contamination of the lenses causes impairment or failure of the function.
- Temperature range
operation
• sensor: +5 ... +70 °C (+41 ... +158 °F)
• controller: +15 ... +35 °C (+59 ... +95 °F)
storage: -20 ... +70 °C (-4 ... +158 °F)
- Humidity: 5 - 95 % (non-condensing)

Laser Safety
The interferoMETER measuring system works with a
pilot laser of a wavelength of 635 nm (visible / red)
offering max. power of < 0.01 mW and a measuring
laser of a wavelength of 840 nm with a max. power of
< 0.2 mW.
The measuring system falls within laser class 1. The
accessible radiation is harmless under predictable con-
ditions.
For class 1 laser devices, impairment of color vision
and disturbances, e.g., from a glare effect, cannot be
excluded.
An LED signalizes by illumination that laser radiation
emits from the optical opening of the light source
(“Pilot on”).

Operating Modes
IMS5x00
Operating Modes
The interferoMETER measuring system provides highly
accurate measurements of
- distances against visually dense materials with
light-diffusing or reflective surfaces
- thicknesses for transparent layer materials.
By selecting the sensor, the distance or thickness mea-
surement operating mode is selected.
Accordingly, the result of the measurement is a distance
or thickness value.
Distance

Thickness
measurements
Measuring range 2.1 mm 35 µm ... 1.4 mm 1
Measuring ranges for distance and thickness measure-
ments
The possible resolution here is in the nanometer range.
For a quick start, we recommend to use presets defined
for different target surfaces and applications, see operat-
ing instructions Chap. 6.6.
1) Measuring range with n=1.5; for air gap measure-
ment between two glass plates (n~1) the measuring
range is 0.05 ... 2.1 mm. The measurement object
must be within the working distance.

Setup, Connection Options
IMS5x00
Sensor Cable
Sensor and controller are connected through an
optical fiber.
- Do not shorten or extend the optical fiber.
- Do not pull or hold the sensor on the optical fiber.
Do not kink the optical
fiber.
Do not crush the opti-
cal fiber, do not fasten
it using cable ties.
Please do not grind the
optical fiber over sharp
corners.
Do not pull the optical
fiber.
Cleaning of the connectors requires the
corresponding know-how.
General Rules
As a matter of principle, avoid:
- any contamination of the connector, e.g., dust or finger
prints
- unnecessary mating cycles.
- any mechanical stress of the optical fiber (bending,
crushing, pulling, twisting, knotting etc.).
- tight curvature of the optical fiber because the glass fiber
is damaged in the process and this causes permanent
damage.
Never bend the cable more tightly than the permissible
bending radius.
R
Fixed: R = 30 mm or more
Flexible: R = 40 mm or more
Mounting, Mounting Adapter
The sensors use an optical measuring principle that allows for
measurements in the nm range.
iEnsure careful handling during installation and opera- tion.
Mount the sensors with an outer clamp. Use the MA5400-
10 mounting adapter from the optional accessories.
This type of sensor installation ensures the highest level of
reliability because the sensor’s cylindrical cover is clamped
over a relatively large area.
