45LMS Laser Measurement Sensor
Description
The 45LMS family of long distance laser sensors is available in a
variety of measuring ranges. The 8 m diffuse and 50 m
retroreflective models use a Class 1 visible red laser and the
15 m diffuse models use a Class 2 visible red laser. The discrete
and analog outputs can be easily set using the 5-step rotary
switch and the push button. Potential applications include object
position (analog output) and object detection (background
suppression with discrete output).
This sensor utilizes the Time of Flight (ToF) principle and has a
relatively small beam spot even at 15 m away. The sensor is
completely self-contained and does not require any external
control devices which add cost and require additional mounting
space.
The 45LMS is easily set up by mounting the sensor such that the
target is within the operating range of the sensor and teaching in
the appropriate set-points required for the application. All
sensors in this family have one discrete output with one analog
output. The discrete output can be wired for either Light Operate
(L.O.) or Dark Operate (D.O.) and the analog output is
automatically scaled between the selected set-points with either
a positive or negative slope.
The 45LMS is an excellent solution for long range detection and
measurement applications including: distance measurement,
verifying material position, stack level, thickness measurement,
roll diameter, positioning fixtures, error proofing inspection, long
standoff distance, level monitoring, crane crash protection and
other difficult applications that exceed the capabilities of
standard diffuse or background suppression photosensors.
Features
• Eye Safe Class 1 or Class 2 laser (by model)
• 8 m (26 ft.), 15 m (49 ft.) or 50 m (164 ft.) sensing
range, dependent on model
• One discrete output (1 x NPN/PNP) and one analog
output (1 x 4…20 mA)
• Easy setup of switch points or analog scaling using
programming buttons
• IP65 enclosure
• Self-contained sensor
This installation instruction should be read and
understood before operating the sensor.
The 45LMS sensor should only be installed by
qualified personnel.
The 45LMS is not a safety component as described
by the EU machinery directives.

The 8 m & 50 m models of the 45LMS are Class 1 laser products.
A Class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use. This
means the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is impossible
to exceed.
The 15 m models of the 45LMS are Class 2 laser products. A
Class 2 laser is not safe to stare at continuously; however, the
blink reflex of the human eye will prevent eye damage, unless the
person deliberately stares into the beam for an extended period
of time.

Wiring
NPN or PNP (Push-Pull)
The 45LMS photoelectric sensor is available with a micro quickdisconnect for ease of installation and maintenance.
Rockwell Automation recommends the use of the 889 Series of
cordsets and patchcords for quick-disconnect model sensors. All
external wiring should conform to the National Electric Code and
all applicable local codes.
The 45LMS features a Push-Pull discrete output. This means the
outputs always drive either 24V or 0V and can therefore be wired
like either an NPN or a PNP sensor.
Mounting
Securely mount the sensor on a firm, stable surface or support for
reliable operation. A mounting subject to excessive vibration or
shifting may cause intermittent operation. The 45LMS-BKT1
mounting bracket is available for installation convenience. Once
securely mounted, the sensor can be wired per the wiring
instructions in the next section.

Setting the sensor
The 45LMS is set up using the Rotary Switch and the SET button,
and it displays feedback via the Yellow and Green LED indicators
on the top of the sensor.
Upon completion of any set-point Teach, both LEDs flash
simultaneously, followed by alternating flashing of the LEDs.
• A successful Teach is indicated by a slower alternating
flashing (2.5 Hz).
• An unsuccessful Teach is indicated by a faster alternating
flashing (8 Hz). After an unsuccessful Teach, the sensor
continues to operate with the previous valid setting.
