SWISS PRECISION LASER DISTANCE SENSORS D-Series – Laser Distance Sensor Technical Reference Manual

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS 1 Document scope This document covers the Dimetix D-Series Laser Distance Sensors. The available senor types are listed in chapter 3.1 Product identification. The following topics are discussed: Safety instructions Technical information The following instructions are to enable the person responsible for the D-Series device, and the user of the instrument, to anticipate and avoid operational hazards. The D-Series device is made to be integrated into technical systems. Basic technical training is therefore essential. This device may only be operated by trained personnel....

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS 2.2 Permitted use The permitted use of the D-Series device is: Measuring distances in an atmosphere appropriate for permanent human habitation. 2.3 Prohibited use/Limits to use Prohibited use or ignoring limits to use can lead to injury, malfunction, and material damage. It is the duty of the person responsible for the instrument to inform the user about hazards and how to counteract them. The D-Series devices must not be operated until the user has been adequately instructed. Use of the instrument without instruction Use outside the stated limits Deactivation of safety...

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS 2.4 Areas of responsibility Responsibilities of the manufacturer of the original equipment Dimetix AG, CH-9100 Herisau (Dimetix): Dimetix is responsible for supplying the product, including the Technical Reference Manual and original accessories, in a completely safe condition. Responsibilities of the manufacturer of non-Dimetix accessories: The manufacturers of non-Dimetix accessories for the D-Series devices are responsible for developing, implementing and communicating safety concepts for their products. They are also responsible for the effectiveness of these safety...

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS Be careful when pointing a telescope towards the sun, because the telescope functions as a magnifying glass and can injure eyes and/or cause damage inside the D-Series device. Do not point the telescope directly at the sun. 2.6 Laser classification The D-Series device produces a visible laser beam, which emerges from the front of the instrument. It is a Class 2 laser product in accordance with: IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 ”Radiation safety of laser products” It is a Class II laser product in accordance with: FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and Laser Notice 50 (US Department of Health and Human...

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS 2.10 Disposal This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product must not be disposed of with your other household waste. Instead, it is your responsibility to dispose of the equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information about where you...

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS Dirty sensor optics can cause erroneous measurements. The sensor can be contaminated by dust, oel, eis, water etc. In dirty environments try to reduce contamination by design. Regularly check sensor optics and clean if necessary. Inadequate cleaning methods can damage the sensor optics. Look after the surfaces of the lenses with same care that you would apply to spectacles, cameras and field glasses. Clean the optical parts (small laser output glass and the round lens) only with a clean soft glasses cleaning cloth and avoid scratching of the optical parts. All other cleaner...

LASER DISTANCE SENSORS 3 Introduction The D-Series sensors are powerful distance-measuring instruments for integration into industrial applications. They allow accurate and contactless distance measurement over a wide range using the laser beam reflection on a measuring surface / target (see the illustration in figure 4). Measured distance Measuring reference Figure 4: Standard application for measuring distances Key features: • High measurement speed (up to 250 Hz, 1000 Hz output rate) Several serial interfaces (RS-232, RS-422 / RS-485, SSI and USB) Exchangeable cover for Industrial Ethernet...
