  • Page 8: Laser And Sensor Setup

    These steps are covered in detail in the topics that follow. Laser and sensor overview The laser and sensor communicate via Bluetooth with the AMS 2140. The laser and sensor have a similar appearance and are differentiated by the color of their sliding dust caps—yellow for the laser and red for the sensor. To power on the laser and sensor, briefly press and hold the on/off button.
  • Page 9 December 2018 Quick Start Guide Laser safety WARNING! • Do not look directly into the laser beam at any time. • Do not insert any optical devices into the beam path. Note The red LED on the front of the laser illuminates whenever the laser beam is emitted.
  • Page 10 The sensor contains two position detectors that measure the exact position and inclination of the laser beam as the shafts are rotated. Bluetooth radio is integrated into the sensor for wireless transmission of measurement data to the AMS 2140. Terminology The following terminologies are used throughout this document.
  • Page 11 December 2018 Quick Start Guide Prerequisites To obtain the highest possible measurement accuracy and to avoid damage to equipment: • Ensure the brackets fit solidly onto their mounting surfaces. • Do not use self-constructed mounting brackets, or modify the original bracket configuration.
  • Page 12 2. Fix both the laser and sensor onto the respective support posts by locking the yellow clamping levers. Lock the levers by pushing them backwards until they rest on the stoppers. Ensure the laser beam can pass over or through the coupling and is not blocked. AMS 2140 Advanced Laser Alignment Application...
  • Page 13 December 2018 Quick Start Guide Note Both the laser and sensor should be at the same height, as low as possible, yet just high enough for the beam to clear the coupling flange. They should also visually appear to be rotationally aligned to each other. Figure 2-3: Horizontal alignment 3.
  • Page 14 For the laser fixtures to communicate with the AMS 2140, you must first pair the sensor. Bluetooth radio is integrated into the sensor. Prerequisites • Ensure the sensor is close to the AMS 2140 (within 30 feet) and is turned • Enable the Bluetooth radio in your AMS 2140. Procedure 1.
