Core Performance Highlights

• DT500-A411 delivers short-range high-precision reflectorless measurement up to 7 m.
• High optical output power ensures reliable readings on dark and uncooperative surfaces without a reflector.
• The robust cast aluminum housing withstands severe industrial vibration and impact.
• The 150 ms response time supports fast short-range measurement cycles.
• Repeatability of 3 mm to 5 mm supports stable and consistent distance readings.
• The Class 2 laser remains safe for typical industrial operation under IEC 60825-1:2014.
• IP65 protection resists dust ingress and water jets in demanding plant environments.
• The front panel display and keypad enable direct on-site setup without extra tools.

Installation Guide

• Mount the DT500-A411 on a rigid bracket to avoid vibration-induced measurement drift.
• Keep the laser beam perpendicular to the target surface for the best accuracy.
• Maintain a minimum distance of 0.2 m to white targets and 0.8 m to black targets.
• Connect the 5-pin M12 connector to a DC 10 V to 30 V supply with correct polarity.
• Wire the 4 mA to 20 mA current output to a load of 500 Ω or less.
• Use the CAN Layer 2 interface for fieldbus integration with the control system.
• Configure measurement mode and output scaling through the front panel keypad.
• Keep ambient temperature within -10 °C to +45 °C during operation.
• Align the sensor housing so the front window stays free from dust and debris.
