With the AMS 3xxi product series, Leuze electronic makes available a range of internationally relevant interfaces. Note that each interface version listed below corresponds to a different 3xxi model.
They correspond to the state of the art. Intended use The AMS 304i… device series is an absolute measuring system based on laser technology. The devices use a visible optical laser to measure distances of up to 300 m contactlessly.
Electrical work must be carried out by a certified electrician. Attention, laser radiation! The AMS 304i operates with a red light laser of class 2 acc. to EN 60825-1. If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, the retina of your eye may be damaged!

Attention! The reflector sizes shown below are a recommendation from Leuze electronic for on-vehicle mounting of the AMS 304i. For stationary mounting of the AMS 304i, a smaller reflector is generally sufficient for all measurement distances. On the basis of the system planning and design, always check whether mechanical travel tolerances may require the use of a reflector larger than that which is recommended.
For this purpose, use the alignment elements provided on the AMS 304i… (see chapter 5.2 "Mounting the AMS 304i"). If necessary, remove the protective foil from the reflector.
