Controls
The Laser Sensor can detect small changes in reflective light due
to color or contrast changes, holes or slots in the surface or
reflectivity of the subject. The actual sensing distance varies, and
may be adjusted using the “Sensitivity” adjustment control on the
Laser Sensor. For maximum distance, it is advisable to use areas
of high contrast or reflective tape on the rotating object.
Operating the SPLS-5 as a triggering source
Mount the RLS-5P securely on a tripod or fixed surface that can be
moved for alignment purposes. For ease of alignment and reliability of
operation, locate the sensor as close to the target as practical (but not
within one inch). It is recommended that you aim the sensor at a
slight angle from perpendicular (approximately 15 degrees) to
ensure the sensor will detect only reflected pulses.
Turn the “Power” switch on the SPS-IM module to the ON position.
Open the shutter on the Laser Sensor. Observe that the LASER ON
LED illuminates.
CAUTION:
Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
Visually align the laser light with the target, ideally with the moving
equipment stopped. Start the equipment, and further adjust the manual
alignment and the “Sensitivity” control to maximize the brightness of
the green “TARGET” LED. This will be the condition of
optimum performance.
The pulse signal on the connector marked “Output” provides a sharp
leading edge for reliable and repeatable triggering of the connected
device. This output has a low impedance (50 ohms) and is capable of

Laser Sensor be placed at a slight angle (approximately 15 degrees)
from perpendicular, so that the Laser Sensor will detect only the reflected
pulses from the target. The Laser Sensor should be at least 1 inch [25
mm] and may be up to 50 feet [15 meters] from the reflective tape
target, provided that the “Sensitivity” adjustment is set properly (see
below). The Laser Sensor is equipped with a green LED On-Target
Indicator which will blink at the input frequency when properly aimed
and adjusted for “Sensitivity”.
CAUTION:
Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
There is a mechanical sliding shutter on the Laser Sensor that can be
used to block the laser light for safety purposes.
NOTE: Open the shutter completely when using the Laser Sensor
and close the shutter when it is not in use.
Indicators
There are three light emitting diodes (LED’s) on the Laser Sensor
which provide the following indications:
LASER ON: Green LED. When the Sensor is first powered up,
there is a delay of a few seconds before the laser
beam comes on. During this period, the “LASER
ON” LED blinks. When the Laser comes on, the
LED remains lit.
SET UP: Red LED. Factory use only.
TARGET: Green LED. Indicates that the Laser Sensor is
receiving a reflected signal back from the target.
The intensity of this LED should be maximized
during target alignment while adjusting
the “Sensitivity” knob very slowly.

The pulse signal on the connector marked “Output” provides a sharp
leading edge for reliable and repeatable triggering of the connected
device. This output has a low impedance (50 ohms) and is capable of
driving a hundred feet of coax cable. Be sure to select the direction (0
to 5 Vdc or 5 to 0 Vdc) of this signal to provide the required polarity of
the leading edge to properly trigger the connected equipment.
SPLS-5 Series - SPS with Remote Laser Sensor
The SPLS-5 consists of the SPS-IM Interface Module described on pages
6 and 7, an RLS-5P Remote Laser Sensor with eight foot cable and ¼-20
mounting bushing, and a R-5 (115 Vac), R-6 (230 Vac) or CA-SPS12 (5 to
15 Vdc) external power connection. One foot of T-5 Reflective Tape is
also supplied.
NOTE: Be sure the power on the battery interface module is OFF before
connecting the Remote Laser Sensor.
RLS-5P
The RLS-5P Remote Laser Sensor is capable of detecting a reflected
pulse at distances of up to 50 feet [15 meters] and angles up to 75
degrees from a reflective tape target. In some applications, reflective
tape is not required; the Laser Sensor will operate from contrasting
colors. Due to the highly focused illumination provided by a collimated
laser and the resultant narrow pulse returned to the sensor, it is critical
that the Laser Sensor be carefully and securely mounted by means of
the ¼-20 threaded bushing provided in order to achieve reliable results.
This ¼-20 mounting bushing can also be used to ground the
Laser Sensor.
Whenever possible, a 1/2" [13 mm] square piece of T-5 Reflective
Tape should be applied to a clean area on the rotating object. The
Laser Sensor should be mounted and optically aligned to illuminate the
reflective tape target once per revolution. It is recommended that the
FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
SPS Interface Module
The SPS Interface Module (SPS-IM) provides power to the input sensor,
receives and processes the return pulse signal, and provides a switch selectable
positive going 0 to 5 Vdc or negative going 5 to 0 Vdc TTL pulse train
trigger output on a BNC connector. Connections and operation are common
to all SPS models. Fully charged internal NiCad batteries will typically
provide six to eight hours of continuous operation. In addition, the SPS
system can be operated continuously on external power by use of the ac
recharger/power supply or dc power cable provided.
NOTE: Before using, charge the internal NiCad batteries for a full 16 hours
using the recharger/power supply or cable provided. See
Recharging the Batteries section on page 7.
Connections
Connect the input sensor via the 1/8” [3.5 mm] phone plug to the mating
connector on the SPS-IM. This sensor may remain connected even
when recharging the internal batteries of the SPS-IM.
Connect the output signal cable to the BNC connector on the opposite
end of the SPS-IM and to the external equipment to be triggered. If
operating from the recharger/power supply, connect the recharger to
the connector marked “External DC” and connect the wall unit to the
appropriate power source. When using the CA-SPS12 cable to provide
5 to 15 Vdc, connect the Black lead to (+) and the Black with White
Stripe lead to (-) dc power.
NOTE: When not in operation, do not leave the SPS-IM continuously
connected to a recharger/power supply or 5 to 15 Vdc external
power for more than 16 hours as this may damage the batteries.
9
6
Controls
The “Power” switch on the SPS-IM controls both the operation and
the charging of the system. The unit will only charge from external
power in the power OFF position. In the power ON position, the unit
will operate directly from external power any time that it is being
supplied. Otherwise, it functions on internal battery power.
The “Output Selection” switch determines the polarity of the leading
edge of the TTL compatible output signal. In the “NON-INVERTING”
position, the output signal on the BNC connector will be a negative
going 5 to 0 Vdc TTL pulse derived directly from the conditioned sensor
output. When the “INVERTING” position is switch selected, the BNC
output signal will be a positive going 0 to 5 Vdc, TTL compatible pulse.
Recharging the Batteries
To recharge the SPS-IM Interface Module batteries:
1. Connect the recharger/power supply or external power cable
to the recharger input jack labeled “External DC”.
2. Connect the recharger/power supply into a working ac outlet,
or the external power cable to a dc power source of 5 to
15 Vdc.
3. Be sure the “Power” switch is in the OFF (CHARGE) position.
The red “CHARGE” LED will indicate that the batteries are
being charged. Allow 16 hours to fully charge.
4. Remove the charging source or move the “Power” switch to
the ON position once the 16 hour charge cycle is completed.
NOTE: When not in operation, do not leave the SPS-IM
continuously connected to a recharger/power supply or
5 to 15 Vdc external power for more than 16 hours as
this may damage the batteries.

SPS-5 SERIES - SPS With Remote Optical Sensor
The SPS-5 consists of the SPS-IM Interface Module described on pages 6
and 7, an ROS-5P Remote Optical Sensor with eight foot cable and
mounting bracket, and a R-5 (115 Vac), R-6 (230 Vac) or CA-SPS12 (5 to
15 Vdc) external power connection. One foot of T-5 Reflective Tape is
also supplied.
ROS-5P
When connected to the SPS-IM as described above, the ROS-5P
illuminates the target with a visible red light from a high intensity LED
and detects the reflected pulses from the rotating reflective tape target
with an internal photo-detector. The ROS-5P Remote Optical Sensor
is capable of detecting a reflected pulse from T-5 Reflective Tape targets
at distances of up to 3 feet [1 meter] and angles up to 45 degrees from
the target. The sensor is supplied with a set of two M16 jam nuts and a
90° angle slotted aluminum mounting bracket.
For most applications, a 1/2" [13 mm] square piece of T-5 Reflective
Tape should be applied to a clean area on the rotating object. The
sensor should be mounted and optically aligned to illuminate the
reflective target once per revolution. It is recommended that the
optical sensor be placed at a slight angle (approximately 10-15
degrees) from perpendicular, so that the sensor will detect only the
reflected pulses from the target. The sensor should be at least 2 inches
[50 mm] and no more than 3 feet [1 meter] from the target. The green
LED On-Target Indicator on the ROS-5P will blink at the input
frequency or be continuously illuminated when properly aimed.
Operating the SPS-5 as a triggering source
Once the ROS-5P input sensor is properly mounted and aligned, further
connections and operation should proceed in accordance with the
functions and descriptions under the SPS Interface Module sections
entitled ‘Connections’ and ‘Controls’ on pages 6 and 7 respectively.
