1.3 Laser Description and Safety Information

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

1.3 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.

Reference IEC 60825-1:2007, Section 8.2.

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.

3.5.6 Loss of Signal

The LossSig option sets the Analog Output value used by the sensor during a loss of signal. When a signal is restored,
measurement resumes.

Navigate: Menu > A_Out > LossSig

Remote Input: Not available

Default: 3.5 mA (0 V)

Option Description

3.5 mA (0 V) The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced
measurements are enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the
release of the trigger input. For Voltage models, this is 0 V. (Default)

20.5 mA (10.5 V) The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced
measurements are enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the
release of the trigger input. For Voltage models, this is 10.5 V.

Hold The Analog Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal. When advanced

measurements are enabled, the last value is held across the triggered measurement periods.

The Range advanced measurement behavior is affected by the Loss of Signal option. For additional information on
advanced measurements, see

Trigger

on page 28. The Range advanced measurement tracks a maximum and a minimum

during the measurement period, and calculates the range as follows:

Range = maximum distance – minimum distance

If the maximum and/or minimum measurements are outside of the taught setpoints, the Loss of Signal option determines
how the range is calculated.

Option Sensor Behavior in Range Mode

3.5 mA (0 V) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught setpoints, the sensor
outputs 3.5 mA (0 V) to indicate an out of range measurement.

20.5 mA (10.5 V) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught setpoints, the sensor
outputs 20.5 mA (10.5 V) to indicate an out of range measurement.

Hold The sensor limits the maximum and minimum measurements so that they cannot exceed the

taught setpoints.

• Background. Background mode automatically optimizes the switching threshold just in front of the taught distance,
closer to the sensor's face.

• Custom. Custom mode allows the user to
using the Offset menu that appears only after selecting Custom Switch Point Reference.

In Object or Background, the distance between the taught surface and the switching threshold varies depending on
measurement stability. Use object mode when teaching an object if a change in state is required when the object is no
longer present. Use background mode when teaching background so that the output state changes when a new object is in

• Far—0 = maximum range; the measurement increases closer to the sensor

• Off—0 = the face of the sensor or the maximum range, depending on the zero setting

• SetZero—Sets the current distance as its new zero reference location. This process is independent of teaching
analog or discrete set points.

• AutoSet—Shifts the zero reference location at the taught distance during any analog or discrete setting teach.

L-GAGE® LTF Time of Flight Laser Distance Sensor

This figure illustrates three examples of how changes to the zero and shift settings affect what distance readout is shown on
the display when in 2-pt TEACH mode. Changes to the zero setting affect the direction in which the distance increases.
Turning the shift setting on sets the taught location as the reference point for any distance measurement.

3.9.3 View

The View option sets the display orientation of the sensor. For applications where the sensor must be mounted so that the
display is not right-reading, invert the display for readability. The Down and Up buttons do not change when the display is
inverted.

4 Sync Master/Slave

Two LTF sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors,
configure one sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements
and the response speed triples.

1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate: MENU > INPUT > Type > SyncMstr.

2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate: MENU > INPUT > Type > SyncSlve.

3. Connect the gray (input) wires of the two sensors together.
