Installation Instructions
45LMS Laser Measurement Sensor
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
Description
The 45LMS family of long distance laser sensors is available in a
variety of measuring ranges. The 8 m diffuse and 50 m
retroreflective models use a Class 1 visible red laser and the
15 m diffuse models use a Class 2 visible red laser. The discrete
and analog outputs can be easily set using the 5-step rotary
switch and the push button. Potential applications include object
position (analog output) and object detection (background
suppression with discrete output).
This sensor utilizes the Time of Flight (ToF) principle and has a
relatively small beam spot even at 15 m away. The sensor is
completely self-contained and does not require any external
control devices which add cost and require additional mounting
space.
The 45LMS is easily set up by mounting the sensor such that the
target is within the operating range of the sensor and teaching in
the appropriate set-points required for the application. All
sensors in this family have one discrete output with one analog
output. The discrete output can be wired for either Light Operate
(L.O.) or Dark Operate (D.O.) and the analog output is
automatically scaled between the selected set-points with either
a positive or negative slope.
The 45LMS is an excellent solution for long range detection and
measurement applications including: distance measurement,
verifying material position, stack level, thickness measurement,
roll diameter, positioning fixtures, error proofing inspection, long
standoff distance, level monitoring, crane crash protection and
other difficult applications that exceed the capabilities of
standard diffuse or background suppression photosensors.
Features
• Eye Safe Class 1 or Class 2 laser (by model)
• 8 m (26 ft.), 15 m (49 ft.) or 50 m (164 ft.) sensing
range, dependent on model
• One discrete output (1 x NPN/PNP) and one analog
output (1 x 4…20 mA)
• Easy setup of switch points or analog scaling using
programming buttons
• IP65 enclosure
• Self-contained sensor
This installation instruction should be read and
understood before operating the sensor.
The 45LMS sensor should only be installed by
qualified personnel.
The 45LMS is not a safety component as described
by the EU machinery directives.
