  • Page 4: Overview

    OVERVIEW The Smart Laser Sensor (SLS) is a self-contained unit intended to be used to make non-contact speed measurements from rotating targets at distances up to 65 feet (19.8 m) or to provide non-contact reference points to balancing equipment. Refer to Section 6.0 for an overview of operation. The unit will output one (TTL Compatible) pulse per revolution and has the ability to compute the RPM internally and output the ASCII values to any equipment capable of receiving an RS232 input.
  • Page 5 Laser On LED Blinks when unit is first turned on. Remains lit when the laser beam is on. Auto/Gain LED On solid whenever the unit is in the Auto mode. It also blinks from 1 to 8 times to indicate the current gain whenever the gain is changed.

    pulse) or low (negative pulse). The user can select either a positive or a negative output pulse using the Polarity switch (5). The gain of the input amplifier and the sensitivity can be adjusted manually or automatically. This allows the unit to be used with many types of targets at various distances and contrasting color conditions.
