Product catalog summary
Description: The Rugged Laser Sensor (RLS) is designed for industrial applications requiring robust performance in challenging environments. It features a rugged IP67-rated 316L stainless steel housing, capable of operating up to a 25-foot distance. The sensor provides a standard TTL pulse output and includes an on-target indicator for easy setup and operation.
Features: The RLS comes with a mounting bracket, hardware, 12 inches of reflective tape, and a cable with a water-tight M12 connector. Users can choose between a flying lead or a 1/8” phone plug connection. It is compatible with all Monarch tachometers and stroboscopes.
Specifications: The sensor operates within a speed range of 1-250,000 RPM, using a visible red laser classified as Class 2. It has a maximum laser output of 1mW, a wavelength of 650nm, and a beam divergence of less than 18 mrad. The operating temperature range is -10° to 50°C, and it requires a power supply of 4-15Vdc or 10-24Vdc depending on the model.
Applications: The RLS is suitable for industrial process speed monitoring, engine test stands, automotive testing, OEM solutions, wind turbines, and as a tachometer input for vibration analyzers.
Ordering Information: The RLS is available in several configurations, including models with tinned leads or a phone plug connector, and different power input options. Part numbers are provided for each configuration.

RLS Rugged Laser Sensor Data Sheet - Monarch-1

We've taken our hugely popular Remote Optical Laser Sensor (ROLS) and packaged it in a Rugged 316L SS IP67 rated enclosure. Although optical speed sensors require atmospheres that are clean and free of mist, steam, dirt, oil and other contaminants in order to function properly there are times when contamination can occur accidentally. Our Rugged Laser Sensor will survive these unintended episodes. Simply clean off the laser and detector windows and your up and running again. The RLS utilizes a water tight M12 connector that facilitates easy removal for cleaning. With an operating range of up to 25 feet, the RLS can be used in applications where close proximity isn't convenient or safe. The laser light source makes setup incredibly easy. Simply aim the laser at a reflective tape or high contrast target and you're ready to start measuring. The sensor has an on target Indicator built in to confirm that the sensor is detecting the target. The RLS is supplied with a 3 meter cable with choice of tinned flying leads or 1/8" phone plug connector for use with all of our portable tachometers and stroboscopes. You can also extend the cable length by adding our 25 foot extension cable(s). • Rugged IP67 package • 316L stainless steel housing • Up to 25 foot working distance • Standard TTL pulse output (other outputs available) • On Target Indicator • Measure up to 250,000 RPM • Includes mounting bracket and hardware • Includes 12" of reflective tape • Includes cable with integrated water tight M12 connector. • Choose flying lead or 1/8" phone plug connection • Compatible with all Monarch tachometers and stroboscopes Typical Uses_ • Industrial process speed monitoring • Engine test stands • Automotive testing • OEM Solutions • Wind turbines • Tachometer input for vibration analyzers • Remote sensor input for Monarch panel tachometers
