WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or
death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized
sensor output condition.

Features and Indicators

. Search for p/n 205812 to view the manual. Use of this document assumes familiarity with pertinent

Three LED indicators provide ongoing indication of the sensing status.

1. Analog Output LED Indicator
Solid Amber = Displayed distance is within the taught analog output window
Off = Displayed distance is outside the taught analog output window

2. Power LED Indicator
Solid Green = Normal operation, power On and laser On
Flashing Green (1 Hz) = Power On and laser Off (laser enable mode)

3. Discrete Output LED Indicator
Solid Amber = Discrete Output is On
Off = Discrete Output is Off

Laser Description and Safety Information

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
result in hazardous radiation exposure. Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit
must be returned to the manufacturer.

Class 2 Laser Models

CAUTION: Never stare directly into the sensor lens. Laser light can damage your eyes. Avoid placing any
mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a

For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers

• Do not stare at the laser.

• Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.

• Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.

• Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.

L-GAGE® LM Series Laser Sensor

Class 2 Lasers

Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to
700 nm, where eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the
blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for
intrabeam viewing.

Class 2 Laser Safety Notes

Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a
blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths
(400 to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their
natural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

Installation Instructions

Sensor Installation

Note: Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by
water, oil, etc. may create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. Blow the window
clear using

filtered, compressed air, then clean as necessary using 70% isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs or

water and a soft cloth.

Install the Safety Label

The safety label must be installed on or near the LM sensors.

Note: Position the label on the cable or near the sensor in a location that has minimal chemical exposure.

Figure 2. Typical installation; other mounting options are possible.

1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label.

2. Wrap the label around the LM cable, as shown.

3. Press the two halves of the label together.

Sensor Orientation

Correct sensor-to-object orientation is important to ensure proper sensing. See the following figures for examples of correct and
incorrect sensor-to-object orientation as certain placements may pose problems for sensing distances.

Applying tilt to sensor may improve performance on reflective targets. The direction and magnitude of the tilt depends on the
application, but a 15° tilt is often sufficient.

Mount the Device

1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.

2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the
mounting screws at this time.

3. Check the device alignment.

4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

Wiring Diagrams

Key

1 = Brown
2 = White
3 = Blue
4 = Black
5 = Gray

The bare shield wire is connected internally to the sensor housing and should be connected as follows:

• If the sensor housing is mounted so that it is in continuity with both the machine frame and earth ground, connect the bare
wire (also) to earth ground.

• If the sensor housing is mounted so that it is insulated from the machine frame, connect the bare wire to -V dc (together
with the blue wire).

• If the sensor is mounted so that it is in continuity with the machine frame, but not with earth ground, do not connect the
bare wire (e.g. cut off the bare wire).

Configuration Instructions

Sensor Programming

Program the sensor using the buttons on the RSD1 remote sensor display accessory, via IO-Link, or the remote input (limited
programming options).

If you are using the RSD1 for programming, from Run mode, use the buttons to access the Quick Menu and the Sensor Menu. See
the instruction manual (p/n 205812) for more information on the options available from each menu. For TEACH options, follow the
TEACH instructions in the instruction manual.

In addition to programming the sensor, use the remote input to disable the buttons for security, preventing unauthorized or
accidental programming changes. See the instruction manual for more information.
