  • Page 5: Overview

    1.3 General information The laser distance meters of the LLD-500 series have been designed for application in industrial facilities. Within the measuring range of 15 cm to 200 m the sensors work with a high accuracy of up to + 2.1 mm and at a variably adjustable measuring frequency of maximally 100 Hz.
  • Page 6: Safety Advice

    Danger, electric shock The LLD-500 may only be opened for repair purposes by the manufacturer. If the device is opened arbitrarily without authorization, all warranty claims will expire. The operating and storage conditions ( chapter 9) have to be observed. The non- observance of this advice and the adverse use of the device can lead to injuries of the user or to damage of the device.
  • Page 7: Laser Class

    2.3 Transport and storage The LLD-500 laser distance meter is delivered in standard packaging. All kinds of transport are permitted. It is recom- mended to store the unit inside the transport packaging until it is used. Please observe the storage conditions.
  • Page 8: Intended Use

    The operating temperature refers to the internal temperature of LLD and could be approx…. 10 kelvins above the ambient temperature (see EN 60204-1). If LLD-500 operates near the upper limit of temperature range (ambient temperature > 40 °C), the probability of measuring errors will be increased A permanent operation of LLD-500 at higher temperatures (ambient temperature >...
  • Page 9: Warning Signs And Type Plates

    3.3 Warning signs and type plates Laser label The LLD-500 works with a class 2 laser. When looking into the laser beam accidentally and for a short moment, the eye will be protected by the eyelid closing reflex. The eyelid closing reflex can be affected by pharmaceuticals, alcohol and drugs.
  • Page 10: Device Description

    LLD-500 versions designed for an operating temperature of as low as – 40 °C can be used for applications outdoors or in refrigerated warehouses. The heating element ensures the operating temperature of the components and free optics (no condensation) of the LLD-500.
  • Page 11: Mechanical Installation

    4.3 Mechanical installation Der The LLD-500 can be screwed on using 3 (underside) or 2 M6 fastening screws respectively (length to be chosen depending on the counter piece). 3 M6 fastening screws plus washers and washer springs are included in the scope of delivery.

  • Page 15: Ssi Synchronous Serial Interface

    SSI data interface is optional for LLD-500 (please see the types and order numbers in chapter 4.2). At the request of a SSI clock LLD-500 starts the output of measuring values and sends the data bit by bit from the shift register of LLD-500 (Slave) to an external controller (Master).
  • Page 16 Figure 7: Wiring of SSI and cable jack pin The measuring mode will be defined with command AUTOSTART AS. Please note that by using of parameter measurement window MW (chapter 6.4.6) and / or offset OF (chapter 6.4.9) the distance output value has to be in the positive range (distance value > 0). Otherwise the SSI output will be 000000.

  • Page 18: Laser Beam Image

    4.11 Laser beam image The laser beam of the LLD-500 has a divergence of 0.13 mrad x 0.17 mrad (width x height). The diameter of the laser spot on the exit lens measures 4 mm. The table below shows the size of the laser spot in dependence on the distance. The laser spot has an ellipti- cal shape.
  • Page 19: Commissioning

    SSI and/or Profibus need to be set separately. Work step Unpack the LLD-500, check it for damage. Mount the LLD-500 at the target location (with 2 screws through the side face or 3 screws through the bottom) --> see 5.1. Roughly direct it at the target surface.

    (where SA = 10 prior to input) 6.2 Measurement involving moving targets Where measurements involve a moving object or the LLD-500 is moved during measuring, this will have an im- pact on the accuracy of the measured value. This must be observed particularly when calculating average values (parameter SA).

  • Page 27: Br - Baudrate

    Prior to setting a high baud rate of > 115200 baud, make sure that the subsequent system is capable of processing that baudrate. If the baud rate of LLD-500 does not match with the baud rate of the communication program the baud rate of LLD-500 can be changed via LLD-500 display.
  • Page 28: Sb - Stop Bit Of The Serial Output

    The autostart function defines the behavior of the LLD-500 after a cold boot. After the connection to the supply voltage and the internal start-up routine the LLD-500 will automatically ex- ecute the command and send the data to the available outputs.

    When starting a continuous measurement using the integrated display, you need to define if the LLD-500 should measure based on the operating mode DT or CT. The operating mode is selected via the command MCT. When starting a measurement using the display, the predefined operating mode will be applied as a rule.

  • Page 35: Ct - Continuous Tracking

    Distance is outside of the measurement window MW. 6.5.3 CT – Continuous tracking The LLD-500 performs an uninterrupted continuous measurement, adjusting the laser parameters (unambigu- ous ranges) in relation to the target only every 6 seconds or when an obvious distance measurement error has occurred.
  • Page 36: Q1/Q2/Q3 - Switching Output

    6.6 Q1/Q2/Q3 – Switching output The switching outputs Q1, Q2 and Q3 show distance information as logic switching information. They signalize when values are above or below a preset switching range subject to hysteresis. Hence, they are perfectly suita- ble for the direct further processing of monitoring variables such as filling level or object detection. Parameteri- zation is done via the serial interface.

    After installation of a Profibus master, product of softing, the related drivers (also see 2.4.), the service program for lasers LLD-150-PROF and LLD-500 (SL5.EXE) can be started. The program as such does not need an in- stallation (it is linked statically). Only the papi.dll for the Profibus must be placed in the folder.
