Core Performance Highlights

• Medium-range reflectorless measurement reaches up to 30 m on natural surfaces
• High optical output power delivers reliable readings on dark and uncooperative surfaces without a reflector
• Robust cast aluminum housing withstands severe industrial vibration and impact
• Front panel display and keypad enable direct on-site setup without extra tools
• Pulsed time-of-flight principle resists ambient light interference for stable output
• Analog current output and RS-422 serial interface simplify integration with existing controllers

Installation Guide

• Mount the sensor on a rigid bracket; keep the housing free from strong vibration during operation
• Connect DC 10 V to 30 V power to the M12 5-pin male connector; observe correct polarity
• Wire the 4 mA to 20 mA current output to your controller; keep load resistance at or below 500 Ω
• Connect the RS-422 serial interface for parameter setup and data exchange
• Set measurement mode and output scaling through the front panel display and keypad
• Aim the laser beam perpendicular to the target surface for best accuracy
• Check readings on white and dark targets after installation; adjust alignment if values drift
