3.6 Operating principle of the LMS1xx

The LMS1xx is an electro-optical laser measurement sensor that electro-sensitively scans the perimeter of its surroundings in a plane with the aid of laser beams. The LMS1xx measures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates. If a laser beam is incident on an object, the position is determined in the form of distance and direction.

Fig. 4: Measuring principle of the LMS1xx

Scanning takes place in a sector of 270°. The scanning range of the LMS1xx is typedependent maximum up to 50

m on light, natural surfaces (e.g. a white house wall).

Distance measurement

The LMS1xx emits pulsed laser beams using a laser diode. If such a laser pulse is incident on an object or a person, it is reflected at its surface. The reflection is detected in the receiver of the LMS1xx using a photodiode.

Fig. 5: Principle of operation for pulse propagation time measurement

The distance to the object is calculated from the propagation time that the light requires from emission to reception of the reflection at the sensor. This principle of “pulse pro

pagation time measurement” is used by radar systems in a similar manner (see also

section 3.8.4 “Measured value output for a second reflected pulse” on page 38).

Page 24

Chapter 3

Product description

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Operating Instructions

Direction measurement

The emitted laser beams are deflected using a mirror and scan the surroundings in a circular manner. The measurements are triggered at regular steps using an angular encoder.

The LMS1xx scans with a scanning frequency of 25 or 50 Hz. During this process, a laser pulse and therefore a measurement is triggered after an angular step of 0.25° or 0.50°.

Influences of object surfaces on the measurement

The signal received from a perfectly diffuse reflecting white surface corresponds to the definition of a remission of 100 %. As a result of this definition, the remissions for surfaces that reflect the light bundled (mirrored surfaces, reflectors), are more than 100

Fig. 6: Reflection of the laser beam at the surface of an object

The majority of surfaces reflect the laser beam diffusely in all directions. The reflection of the laser beam will vary as a function of the surface’s structure and color.

Light surfaces reflect the laser beam better than dark surfaces and can be detected by the LMS1xx over larger distances. Bright white plaster reflects approx. 100 light, black foam rubber approx. 2.4

%. On very rough surfaces, part of the energy is lost due

% of the incident

to shading. The scanning range of the LMS1xx will be reduced as a result.

Fig. 7: Reflection angle

The reflection angle is the same as the angle of incidence. If the laser beam is incident perpendicularly on a surface, the energy is optimally reflected (

Fig. 6). If the beam is

incident at an angle, a corresponding energy and scanning range loss occurs (Fig. 7).

Page 25

Operating Instructions

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Product description

Fig. 8: Degree of reflection

Chapter 3

If the reflected energy returned is over 100 % (basis: Kodak standard) the incident beam is not reflected diffusely in all directions, but is reflected in a specific direction (

Fig. 8). As a

result a large portion of the energy emitted can be received by the laser distance measurement device. Plastic reflectors (“cats’ eyes”), reflective tape and triple prisms have these properties.

Fig. 9: Mirror surfaces

At mirror surfaces the laser beam is almost entirely deflected (Fig. 9). Instead of the surface of the mirror, it is possible that the object on which the deflected laser

beam is incident may be detected.

Fig. 10: Object smaller than diameter of the laser beam

Objects that are smaller than the diameter of the laser beam cannot reflect all the energy of the laser light (

Fig. 10). The energy in the portion of the laser light that is not reflected is

lost. This means that the scanning range is less than would be possible theoretically based on the surface of the object.

3.6.1 Scanning range of the LMS1xx

The scanning range of the LMS1xx is dependent on the remission of the objects to be detected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning range of the LMS1xx. The diagrams in

relationship between remission and detectability for different LMS1xx variants.

Up to a distance of 10 m the LMS1xx can detect objects from 3 % remission.  At a distance of 20 m objects are only detected if they have a remission > 13 % (Fig. 11). The LMS14x only detects objects at a distance up to 16 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 12), the  LMS15x only detects objects at a distance up to 10 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 13 on

3.6.2 Beam diameter and distance between measured points

With increasing distance from the LMS1xx the laser beam of the LMS1xx increases in size. As a result the diameter of the measured point on the surface of the object increases.

The distance-dependent diameter of the measured point is the distance

Fig. 14: Beam expansion

(mm (in)) × 0.015 rad + 8 mm.

With increasing distance from the LMS1xx, the distance between the individual measured points also increases. The distance between the measured points is also dependent on the angular resolution configured. With a coarser resolution, the distance is larger, with a finer resolution the distance is smaller. The distance-dependent spacing between the measured points is the tangent of the angular resolution × distance.

Fig. 15: Schematic layout of the distance between measured points at different angular

resolutions

The diagram in Fig. 16 on page 29 shows the beam diameter and the measured point spacing as a function of the distance from the LMS1xx.

Important The beam diameter is always greater than the measured point spacing. As a result full

scanning without gaps is ensured.

3.6.3 Minimum object size

To reliably detect an object, a laser beam must be fully incident on it once. If the beam is partially incident, less energy will be reflected by an object than necessary in some circum stances (see Fig. 10 on page 25).

An object is only reliably fully seen if it is at least as large as the measured point spacing plus the beam diameter.

Fig. 19: Minimum object size for detection

In the example in Fig. 19, the beam is fully incident on the object at least once during each scan. It will therefore be reliably detected if it has the necessary remission.

How to calculate the minimum object size:

beam diameter + distance between the measured points = minimum object size  For beam diameter and measured point spacing as a function of the distance from the

LMS1xx see the diagram in

Fig. 16 on page 29.

Important In particular on the usage of the LMS1xx for measured value output, it is necessary for a

reliable measurement that the beam is incident on the object several times. The example shows the minimum size of an object. For a reliable measurement it is important that the beam is incident on the object several times. Therefore an object should be either larger than the minimum object size or the LMS1xx as well as the object should not move.

Product description

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

3.6.4 Contamination measurement

The LMS1xx has an optics cover for protection. This optics cover can become contaminated. The laser beam radiation emitted and received is reduced by the contamination scanned objects are perceived with a lower remission than they actually have, or no longer measured at all from a certain level of contamination.

For this reason the contamination is measured continuously while the device is in operation. From a certain contamination level, initially a contamination warning is output; if the con tamination becomes worse, a contamination error is output and the LMS1xx disables the measurement mode.

Depending on the application in which the LMS1xx is used, you can choose between various strategies for the contamination measurement.

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, CONTAMINATION MEASUREMENT.

 Inactive

No contamination measurement

 Highly available

Contamination warning and contamination error are only output on even contamination of the optics cover.

 Available

Contamination warning and contamination error are only output on partial contamination of the optics cover.

 Sensitive

Contamination warning and contamination error are output even with isolated contamination.

Recommendation The cleaner the application environment, the lower you can set the sensitivity for the con-

tamination measurement. The more exact the measured result must be, the higher you should set the sensitivity of the contamination measurement.

Contamination warning and contamination error are indicated on the LEDs on the LMS1xx (see

section 9.2 “Error displays of the LEDs” on page 89). You can also read these states

using telegrams.

Operating Instructions

. As a result

Important The LMS14x Core only provides 2 levels when indicating contamination:

 No indication/contamination measurement inactive  80 % contamination warning, 50 % contamination error

You will find a detailed description of the different telegrams in the document “Telegram Listing Laser Measurement Sensor”, part no. 8014631, issue in English.

Please see section 1.5 “Further information” on page 9.

page 45).

gy” on page 42) in the field evaluation application, the contamination measurement should

be configured as inactive. If the contamination measurement is active, erroneous detections of contour infringements may occur.

To ensure the reliable operation with deactivated contamination measurement it is recommended to evaluate an external reference contour additional to the measurement data output or detection field. If the LMS1xx is no more detecting the external reference contour, it has to be assumed that there is a significant level of pollution.

3.7 Applications

In principle the LMS1xx can be used for two purposes:  for the measurement of objects (see section 3.8 “Measurement of objects” on

page 34)

 for the detection of objects with evaluation fields (see section 3.9 “Field application” on

page 40)

Therefore, the possible applications are very wide-ranging. In particular the following can be stated:

 container loading/handling  traffic/transport  robots  object protection (low false alarm rate)

3.8 Measurement of objects

3.8.1 Basic parameters

The LMS1xx scans with a scanning frequency of 25 or 50 Hz or with an angular resolution of 0.25° or 0.50°. At a higher scanning frequency or a finer angular resolution the LMS1xx supplies more measured values.

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, BASIC PARAMETERS, areas CURRENT CONFIGURATION and NEW

CONFIGURATION.

Important  The LMS1xx outputs the data after the start of the measurement using the same

interface over which the measured values were requested.

 It is only possibl e to output all m easu red valu es of a sca n in r eal-time using the Ethe rne t

interface.

In case of an error, the measured value output is stopped immediately and an error code output that can be evaluated by the application connected. The error code can also be queried via SOPAS ET from the LMS1xx (see

page 90).

section 9.4 “Detailed error analysis” on

Important The LMS14x Core sends the measured contour values via RS-232/Ethernet only with low

refresh rate. The data can only be used for visualization or configuration on the PC.

3.8.2 Filter

The LMS1xx has digital filters for the pre-processing and optimization of the measured distance values.

You can configure either a fog filter, a hardware blanking window, an echo filter or a filter for interference suppression.

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, FILTER.

Fog filter

The fog filter suppresses possible glare due to fog. The LMS1xx becomes less sensitive in the near range (up to approx. 4 m) with the fog filter.

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Important A hardware blanking window affects the evaluation fields for the field application (see

Product description

Chapter 3

Hardware blanking window

With a blanking window the LMS1xx only supplies measured values from a configured distance. An area in front of the LMS1xx is therefore completely blanked. You can configure a blanking window from 1 to 15 m.

section 3.9.2 “Evaluation fields” on page 44):

 Field evaluation is not possible in the area of the blanking window configured.  Field evaluation is not possible reliably up to 1 m in front of the blanking window

configured.

 Field evaluation is possible reliably from 2 m in front of the blanking window configured.

Fig. 20: Effect of the hardware blanking window on the evaluation fields for the field application

Echo filter

If two pulses are reflected by two objects during a measurement (drops of rain or edges etc.), the filter initially filters out the first reflected pulse (echo) (see

section 3.8.4

“Measured value output for a second reflected pulse” on page 38).

Particle filter

The particle filter can be used in dusty surroundings or in case of rain or snow to filter out interference due to particles of dust, rain drops, snow flakes etc.

Important Due to the particle filter, the reaction to an object in the evaluation field or an infringement

of the contour is delayed by the time for a scan. The response time set for the pixel evalu ation, blanking and contour evaluation strategies is not changed as a result.

Mean filter

The mean filter acts on the measured value output, not on the field application. If the mean filter is active, the mean is formed from the configured number of scans and then output.

The mean filter reduces the scan data output (not a smoothing mean).

Operating Instructions

3.8.3 Measured value output

For the measured value output, the LMS1xx supplies measured values to one of the interfaces. It is prerequisite for this data output that the LMS1xx is in the measurement mode. There are two ways you can start the measurement mode:

 start via SOPAS ET

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, BASIC PARAMETERS, area MEASUREMENT

 start via telegram

Recommendation After the measurement mode is started the LMS1xx needs a little time to reach the status

“Ready for measurement”. You should therefore query the status of the LMS1xx using the

sRN

STlms telegram.

Then request measured data by using a telegram on the interface from which you want to receive measured data. There are two possible ways of doing this:

 Exactly one measured value telegram can be requested using the sRN LMDscandata

telegram — the last scan measured is transferred.

 Measured data can be continuously requested using the sEN LMDscandata telegram —

measured data are then transferred until the measured value output is stopped using the sEN LMDscandata telegram.

3.8.4 Measured value output for a second reflected pulse

Operating Instructions

The LMS1xx also measures a second reflected pulse, if it is produced, and outputs its measured value in the measured value telegram. A second reflected pulse can be produced, e.g., if the LMS1xx hits a rain drop first. This will reflect part of the energy (1st reflected pulse). The other part of the beam continues to propagate and is reflected by the actual object (2nd reflected pulse).

Fig. 23: Principle of operation of the measurement of the second reflected pulse

Important  The function can only be used in measurement applications, not in the field application.

 The time after the first reflected pulse from which measurement can be performed with

full accuracy is dependent on the target that reflected the first reflected pulse.

An application in the host connected can then, for instance, take into account the 2nd reflected pulse for the measurement and ignore the first reflected pulse. In bad weather (rain/ snow), this procedure can produce better results or actually make possible special applica tions such as measurement through a window (e.g. in an ATEX environment).

Measurement through a window

In the case of measurement through a window, various different light reflections may occur. On the one hand due to direct incidence on the window (e.g. due to contamination or scratches), on the other hand due to reflections at the window (that is due to objects behind or beside the LMS1xx). Reflections of objects on the window must be shaded.

3.9 Field application

With the aid of the integrated field application, the LMS1xx type-dependently evaluates up to 10 evaluation fields within its scan area. Using the field application, you can e.g. implement systems for collision protection, for building surveillance or for access monitoring.

Fig. 25: Principle of the field application

The LMS1xx is adapted to the evaluation situation with the aid of up to ten evaluation cases (type-dependent). In the evaluation case, one of max. ten configurable evaluation fields, an evaluation strategy, an output and in some circumstances a combination of inputs that activate the evaluation case, are selected. An operator is selected for each output; this operator determines the result on the output if more than one evaluation case acts on the output.

In the example in Fig. 25, in evaluation case 1 evaluation field 1 is used, in evaluation case 2 evaluation field 2 is used. Both evaluation cases act on the output OUT1. If an AND operator is used for the results of the evaluation cases, then the output will only switch if both evaluation cases are signalling an event.

The LMS1xx evaluates the entire area of the field, every single beam is considered in the evaluation. If an object enters the field, this result is sent to the related output.

 Blanking

The LMS1xx evaluates the entire area of the field. However, using blanking objects of a specific size can be blanked. An object is only detected if it is larger than the blanking configured.

 Contour

The LMS1xx evaluates the presence of a contour that must be permanently and completely in the evaluation field. As a result the LMS1xx can detect, e.g., that a door is opening outwards or that the position of the LMS1xx is being changed. Also crawling beneath a vertical evaluation field or the deflection of the laser beam by a mirror can be detected.

Using blanking the lack of part of a contour can be blanked up to a certain size.

 I/O operator

Using the I/O operator evaluation strategy you can link the inputs of the LMS1xx with its outputs (see

section 3.10.5 “Logical operators for inputs and outputs” on page 46).

Operating Instructions

Response time

For the Pixel evaluation, Blanking and Contour evaluation strategies you must define a response time. For the LMS1xx to detect an object using the Pixel evaluation or Blanking evaluation strategy, the object must be detected in one place for at least the duration of the response time. For the Contour evaluation strategy the contour infringement must be detected in one place for at least the duration of the response time.

Obstruction protection

If pixel evaluation is configured, glare may result in it no longer being possible for the LMS1xx to monitor a field. If blanking is configured, small objects in the near range of the LMS1xx can cause large shadows.

If you use evaluation fields at a distance from the LMS1xx, then the object or the object erroneously measured due to glare is outside the evaluation field and will not be detected.

To prevent this situation arising, you can configure the OBSTRUCTION PROTECTION option.

Important Do not confuse the negation of the result with the setting active high/active low for the

Fig. 26: Protection against tampering due to shading and glare

The Obstruction protection option switches the evaluation field at the following events:  An object that is smaller than or equal to the blanked object size is in front of the laser

output aperture on the LMS1xx for the configured response time for Obstruction protection.

 The LMS1xx is dazzled for longer than the configured response time for Obstruction

protection.

Evaluation field

Choose one of the evaluation fields already configured for the evaluation case. Its shape must match the evaluation strategy (see

section 3.9.2 “Evaluation fields” on page 44). If,

for instance, you select the evaluation strategy CONTOUR AS REFERENCE, then a contour field must be configured so that the LMS1xx functions correctly.

Output

Choose one of the outputs for the evaluation case. If several evaluation cases act on an output, you must define how the results of the evaluation cases are linked (see

section 3.9.3 “Operator for the evaluation cases on the output” on page 45).

Negating the result

By negating the result the field evaluation is signalled in reverse on the output. The output used is, e.g., then switched if the evaluation field is clear or if the contour is not infringed.

also as active low.

Resetting an output

By default the outputs are reset immediately. You can configure a delay of up to 10 s (e.g. to activate a horn or to send the output signal to a PLC).

An an alternative you can al so reset the output using an input. The output is reset only when the allocated input has the configured status.

3.10 Inputs and outputs

You will find information on the design of the outputs of the LMS12x/LMS13x/LMS14x Security and LMC12x/LMC13x VdS in the document ”Technical Information (installer instructions VdS)”, part no.: 8013749, issue in English.

Please see section 1.5 “Further information” on page 9.

3.10.1 Digital switching inputs

The LMS1xx has 2 digital switching inputs. These inputs can switch on and off evaluation cases (see

section 3.9.1 “Evaluation cases” on page 41). With the aid of the inputs, the

switching outputs on the LMS1xx can also be reset (see section “Resetting an output” on

page 45).

3.10.2 Encoder inputs

The LMS10x/LMS11x/LMS15x has 2 digital inputs for an encoder. With the aid of the encoder pulses, the size of so-called dynamic fields can be changed, e.g.,

for speed-dependent vehicle monitoring. The length of a dynamic field changes with the speed measured, e.g. using an encoder.

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, INCREMENT CONFIGURATION. When stationary (V = 0 m/s) the evaluation field is the same size as the basic field confi-

gured. The size increases continuously with increasing speed up to the largest physical size for the field at the configured maximum speed.

3.10.3 Digital switching outputs

The LMS10x/LMS11x/LMS15x has three digital switching outputs. The outputs can be used as digital switching outputs to ground, as floating outputs or as

resistance monitored outputs (see

section 6.4.5 “Wiring of switching inputs and outputs on

the LMS1xx” on page 77).

For each output you configure whether it is switched by the field evaluation application or via SOPAS

ET telegrams, or whether it is used to signal the device is ready. PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, DIGITAL OUTPUTS. If an output is switched by the field evaluation application, the LMS1xx can signal evaluation

The external switching outputs have the same functionality as the digital switching outputs on the LMS1xx.

PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, EXTERNAL OUTPUTS.

3.10.5 Logical operators for inputs and outputs

With the aid of an evaluation case the inputs and outputs on several LMS1xx can be linked together (see

section 3.9.1 “Evaluation cases” on page 41).

Fig. 28: Logical operators for inputs and outputs

In the example output 1 on the LMS1xx at the bottom is connected to input 1 on the LMS1xx at the top. An evaluation field infringement is therefore signalled at the input on the LMS1xx at the top. This LMS1xx links the input to output 1 in its evaluation case 2. At the same time, evaluation case 1 also acts on the LMS1xx at the top and its output 1. Using the OR operator for the two results, evaluation field infringements on both LMS1xx are signalled on output 1 on the LMS1xx at the top.

 The data transmission rate of the RS-232 interfaces is limited. Therefore these inter-

faces are not suitable for transmitting scan data in real time.

3.11.1 Ethernet interface

The Ethernet interface has a data transmission rate of 10/100 MBit. The interface is a TCP/IP interface. Full duplex and half duplex are supported.

The Ethernet interface allows the configuration of the LMS1xx as well as the output of measured values.

The factory setting for the Ethernet interface is as follows:

 IP address: 192.168.0.1  subnet mask: 255.255.255.0  TCP port: 2111 and 2112

If necessary, adjust the TCP/IP configuration for the Ethernet interface to enable a connected PC (client) to communicate with the LMS1xx via Ethernet: PROJECT TREE, LMS…, NETWORK/ I

NTERFACES/IOS, ETHERNET.

Important If you change the parameters for the Ethernet interface over the Ethernet interface, you

must first save the data in non-volatile memory in the LMS1xx and then restart the LMS1xx. For this purpose there is the R

ESTART button in SOPAS ET.

You will find a description of the electrical interface in section 6.2 “Connections of the

LMS1xx” on page 66.

3.11.2 CAN

The CAN interf ace supports data transmissions between 10 Bit/s and 1 Mbit/s. For data communication via CAN you must configure the LMS1xx so that it can

communicate with the host: PROJECT TREE, LMS…, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, CAN. The following interface parameters can be configured:

 baud rate of the CAN bus  ID of the LMS1xx in CAN

Protection of Supply Cables

To ensure protection against short-circuits or overload in the supply cables from the customer's

power system, the lead cross sections used have to be selected and protected

according to the national standards.

Depending on the power supply concept, the LMS1xx must be protected using the following fuse(s) in the supplying circuit(s) at the start of the supply cable(s):

 Separate power supply voltages for sensor and heating

The sensor consums the maximum current at the lowest permissible supply voltage for the device compared to the heating.



Recommended fuses: sensor: 2 A slow-blow, heating 2 A slow-blow

 Collective power supply voltage for sensor and heating

The heating consums the maximum current at the highest permissible collective supply voltage for the device compared to the sensor.



Recommended fuse for sensor incl. heating: 4 A slow-blow

Data interface RS-232 and Ethernet (see also section 6.3.3 “Boundary conditions for the

data interfaces” on page 72)

Device disconnector – installation of a switch in the supply cable

A switch, emergency stop switch, or similar, must be installed in the supply cable to the device in order to reliably disconnect the device from the supply voltage in the event of a fault. If the sensor and heater are supplied by separate supply voltages, both supply cables must be routed via the switch.

3.13.2 Mounting requirements

The LMS1xx must be mounted as follows:

 Robust  As far as possible without shocks  As far as possible without vibration

Mounting kits

The following mounting kits are available:  Mounting kit 1a: mounting bracket for mounting at the rear on wall or machine (see

Fig. 65 on page 101)

 Mounting kit 1b: mounting bracket for mounting at the rear on wall or machine, with

protection for the optics cover (see

Fig. 66 on page 101)

 Mounting kit 2: mounting bracket, only in conjunction with mounting bracket 1a or 1b,

cross-wise adjustment possible (see

Fig. 67 on page 102)

 Mounting kit 3: mounting plate, only in conjunction with mounting bracket 2, length-

wise adjustment possible (see

Fig. 68 on page 102)

As an alternative you can use a strong stable mounting bracket that provides adjustable alignment of the LMS1xx in the X

- and Y axis. The LMS1xx weighs approx. 1.1 kg.

Risk to damage due to overheating!

Mount the LMS1xx such that it is not exposed to direct sunlight (if necessary fit canopy). In this way an inadmissible increase in the temperature inside the sensor is avoided.

3.13.3 Distance between LMS1xx and the object/surface to be monitored

The laser beam diverges with increasing distance from the LMS1xx. In the scan area the floor or a wall may then be continuously detected, as the laser beam is incident on it.

Fig. 29: Increase in the size of the beam and safety supplement

The optical axis is used as the reference plane for the distance to be maintained from the floor or the wall; on a vertically mounted LMS1xx this axis is approx. 116 mm above the bottom edge of the housing.

Page 52

Chapter 3

Product description

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Operating Instructions

The distance-dependent increase in the size of the beam can be calculated using the formula:

beam diameter = (distance (mm) × 0.015 rad) + 8 mm The following table shows a few values as examples:

Distance Beam diameter

Tab. 15: Beam diameter at different distances from the LMS1xx

5 m 10 m 15 m 20 m 40 m 50 m 83 mm 158 mm 233 mm 308 mm 608 mm 758 mm

For the assessment of whether the laser beam can be incident on an object or the wall, the distance of half the beam diameter from the optical axis is used.

Recommendation Take into account a safety supplement of approx. 5 mm per meter.

3.13.4 Heating

A separate source of power is required for the heating in the LMS11x, LMS15x and LMS182 as well as the LMS13x/LMS14x and LMC13x (supply voltage DC 24 V, minimum output power 50 W).

The heating starts to heat at an internal temperature below 10 °C It then operates for at least three seconds. If the temperature is always around 10

°C then the heating will often

operate for a short time.

Temperature in the LMS1xx Behaviour of the device/heating

T > 0 °C The device starts T < 0 °C Heating is active until the device will start

During operation: The device continues to operate, a telegram is output indicating that the temperature has dropped below the operating temperature

Tab. 16: Behaviour of device and heating, depending on the inner temperature

Important The minimum operating ambient temperature of –30 °C respectively –40 °C (LMS14x) is

guaranteed for a wind speed of 0 m/s. Based on experience, operation with a wind speed of up to 0 .5 m /s is pos sible. At higher wi nd speed the heat from the heating is removed from the device too quickly.

 The weather protection hood 190° provides a field of view of 190° and practically flat

mounting on the application.

 The weather protection hood 270° provides a larger field of view of 270°, but not flat

mounting on the application. You will find detailed dimensions in section 10.3.4 “Dimensional drawings weather

protection hoods” on page 103.

Important The LMC12x and the LMC13x cannot be fastened with a weather protection hood.

5.3.5 Using multiple LMS1xx

Risk of interference on the LMS1xx!

Sources with a wavelength of 905 nm may cause interference if they act directly on the LMS1xx.

The LMS1xx is so designed that mutual interference between several LMS1xx is unlikely. To completely exclude erroneous switching, we recommend mounting the laser measurement sensors as shown in the following examples.

Use mounting kits 1 to 3 to adjust the LMS1xx to different angles.

Correct placement of several LMS1xx

Arrange or shield several LMS1xx such that the laser beam cannot be received by a different LMS1xx.

7.5 Connection and test measurement

Use the graphic scan view in SOPAS ET to verify the generated measured values and to verify the measurement area online.

1. In the project tree, choose LMS…, MONITOR, SCAN VIEW.

2. In order to start the measurement, click on PLAY.

3. Compare the measurement line with the desired result.

Important –The SCAN VIEW in the MONITOR is dependent on the available computing power of the

PC and is not output in real-time. For this reason not all measured values are dis played. The same limitation also applies when saving measured values displayed in a file.

– The monitor displays the measured values unfiltered, i.e. the action of filters can not

be checked with the aid of the monitor.

4. After completing the test measurement successfully, save the configuration permanently to the LMS1xx: menu LMS…, PARAMETER, SAVE PERMANENT.
