2For your safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the LMS.
2.1 Authorized personnel
The LMS laser measurement sensor must be installed, commissioned and serviced only by
adequately qualified personnel.
Repairs to the LMS are only allowed to be undertaken by trained and authorized service
personnel from SICK AG.
The following qualifications are necessary for the various tasks:
2.2 Correct use
The LMS is a non-contact optical distance measurement sensor for stand-alone or network
operation. It is suitable for applications in which precise, electro-sensitive measurements of
contours and surroundings are required. It is also possible to create systems, for instance,
for collision protection, for building surveillance or for access monitoring.
It must be initialized only by qualified personnel and only in industrial environments.
In case of any other usage as well as in case of modifications to the LMS, e.g. due to opening
the housing during mounting and electrical installation, or to the SICK software, any claims
against SICK AG under the warranty will be rendered void.
The LMS is only allowed to be operated in the ambient temperature range allowed (see
section 9.1 “Data sheet LMS laser measurement sensor” on page 82).

2.3 General safety notes and protective measures
Safety notes
Please observe the following items in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the LMS.
•The notices in these operating instructions (e.g. on use, mounting, installation or
integration into the existing machine controller) must be observed.
•When operating the LMS, the national, local and statutory rules and regulations must
be observed.
•National/international rules and regulations apply to the installation, commissioning,
use and periodic technical inspections of the laser measurement sensor, in particular:
– the work safety regulations/safety rules
– other relevant health and safety regulations
•Manufacturers and operators of the machine/system on which the LMS is installed are
responsible for obtaining and observing all applicable safety regulations and rules.
•The tests must be carried out by specialist personnel or specially qualified and author-
ized personnel and must be recorded and documented to ensure that the tests can be
reconstructed and retraced at any time.
•The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the system where
the LMS is fitted. The operator of the system is to be instructed in the use of the device
by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
•The LMS is not a device for the protection of people in the context of the related safety
standards for machinery.
2.3.1 Electrical installation work
•Only authorized personnel are allowed to perform the electrical installation work.
•Only make and disconnect electrical connections when the device is electrically
isolated.
•Select and implement wire cross-sections and their correct fuse protection as per the
applicable standards.
Do not open the housing.
Observe the current safety regulations when working on electrical systems.

2.3.2 Laser radiation from the laser measurement sensor
Laser radiation!
The LMS corresponds to laser class 1 (eye safe) as per EN 60825J1(for publication date
see laser warning label on the device). Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 with the exception
of the deviations as per Laser Notice No. 50, July 26, 2001. The laser beam cannot be seen
with the human eye.
•Incorrect usage can result in hazardous exposure to laser radiation.
Do not open the housing (opening the housing will not switch off the laser).
Pay attention to the laser safety regulations as per IEC 60825J1(latest version).
Important No maintenance is necessary to ensure compliance with laser class 1.
Laser output aperture
The laser output aperture is the window of the optics cover on the LMS.
Fig. 1: Laser output aperture of the LMS
Laser power
The laser operates at a wavelength =905 nm (invisible infrared light). The radiation
emitted in normal operation is not harmful to the eyes and human skin.

2.4 Quick stop and Quick restart
2.4.1 Switching off the LMS
Switch off voltage supply (power supply) for the LMS or disconnect the M12 supply
cable on the LMS111/LMS13x/LMS151/LMS182 and LMC13x.
The LMS retains parameters stored in the internal, non-volatile memory. Measured values
on the interface are lost.
2.4.2 Switching back on the LMS
Switch on voltage supply (power supply) for the LMS or re-connect the M12 supply cable
on the LMS111/LMS13x/LMS151/LMS182.
The LMS re-commences operation with the parameters last saved.

2.5 Environmental protection
The LMS has been designed to minimize environmental impact. It uses only a minimum of
power.
While working, always act in an environmentally responsible manner. For this reason please
note the following information on disposal.
2.5.1 Power consumption
•The LMS100/LMS12x/LMS173/LMC12x consumes a maximum of 20 W in operation.
•In addition, the LMS111/LMS13x/LMS151/LMS182/LMC13x draws a maximum of
40 W in cycles for the heating.
2.5.2 Disposal after final de-commissioning
Always dispose of unserviceable or irreparable devices in compliance with local/
national rules and regulations on waste disposal.

Operating Instructions
Laser Measurement Sensors of the LMS100 Product Family
Chapter 3
3.4 Controls and status indicators
3.4.1 User interface
Innormal operation the laser measurement sensor operates fully automatically without the
intervention of an operator.
The interactive configuration is carried out using the provided SOPAS ET configuration
software. The software used for this purpose runs on a PC that is connected to the LMS via
one of the interfaces.
Use the graphic scan view in SOPAS ET to verify the generated measured values and to
verify the measurement area online. During this process, note that the field evaluation
monitor cannot display the data in real-time and therefore does not display all measured
values.
3.4.2 Status indicators
The LEDs and the 7Jsegment display indicate the operational status of the LMS.
Fig. 4: Status indicators
Important On the LMS, along with the standard displays described below, the indication functions of
the LEDs and the 7Jsegment display can be configured in SOPAS ET.

LMC12x/LMC13x in the document ”Technical Information (installer instructions VdS)”, part
