Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series Safety precautions Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the sensor specifications. In connection/disconnection of cables, the sensor power must be switched off. Do not use sensors in locations close to powerful light sources. To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after sensor activation to achieve uniform sensor warm-up.

Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series The measurement frequency depends on the integration time of the re- Note 1. ceiving array. Maximum frequency (2 kHz) is achieved for the integration time ≤106 μs (minimum possible integration time is 10 μs). As the integration time increases above 106 μs, the result updating time increases proportionally.
Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series 10.5. Line AL operation mode This line can work in one of the four modes defined by the configuration parame- ter value: mode 1: indication of run-out beyond the range ("0" – object is beyond the range (beyond the selected window in the range), "1"...
Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series 10.8. Number of averaged values/time of averaging This parameter specifies the number of source results to be averaged for deriv- ing the output value or time of the averaging . The use of averaging makes it possible to reduce the output noise and increase the sensor resolution.
Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series The maximum transmission rate for RS232/RS485 interface is 460,8 kbit/s. Note. 11.4.2. Net address This parameter defines the network address of the sensor equipped with RS485 interface. Note. Network data communications protocol assumes the presence of ‗master‘ in the net, which can be a computer or other information-gathering device, and from 1 to 127 ‗slaves‘...

Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series 10 kOm Blue Grey 12.2. Voltage output The connection scheme is shown in the figure. To reduce noise, it is recom- mended to install RC filter before the measuring instrument. The filter capacitor value is indicated for maximum sampling frequency of the sensor (9,4 kHz) and this value in- creases in proportion to the frequency reduction.
