Performance and Environmental Resilience

• The high optical output power delivers stable readings on dark and uncooperative surfaces without a reflector.
• Reflectorless detection up to 7 m suits hot slabs, metal coils, coal, and paper rolls.
• The cast aluminum housing absorbs industrial vibration and impact for long service life.
• The wide 10 V to 30 V supply range fits many control cabinets and mobile machine designs.
• Class 2 laser emission keeps daily operation safe for nearby personnel under IEC 60825-1:2014.
• The front panel display and keypad simplify parameter setup without extra software.

Installation Guide

• Mount the sensor on a rigid bracket and align the laser spot perpendicular to the target surface.
• Keep the optical window clean and free of dust, moisture, and condensation for accurate readings.
• Connect the M12 5-pin connector to a DC supply within the 10 V to 30 V range.
• Wire the two PNP switching outputs and the multifunctional input according to your control scheme.
• Use the front display and keypad to set switching points and hysteresis from 10 mm to 100 mm.
• Verify the output state on the display before you start continuous measurement tasks.
