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.

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.
QUICK START GUIDE Note: Refer to Figure 1 for switch and button locations. Slide Power switch (8) to “On”. Rotate Sensitivity Adjust knob (7) fully counterclockwise to the “Auto” position. Aim the laser dot perpendicular to the target - reflective tape, contrasting color or keyway.
CONNECTION DETAIL Pulse/ The unit has an input power jack for RS232 power recharging Output batteries. Use only the PR Universal charger supplied. The unit also has a five-pin DIN output socket for Pulse outputs and RS232. An 8-foot [2.5 m] cable with a DIN plug and BNC connector is supplied.
Figure 3 Pin Connections OPERATION Note: Refer to Figure 1 for switch and button locations. Turn the unit on by moving the Power switch (8) to the On position. The unit may be operated from the internal batteries and/or the charger/power supply.
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.
Press and release the Learn/Gain button (6) to change the gain of the input amplifier. Each time the button is pressed, the gain is changed. The Auto/Gain LED (3) will blink to show what gain has been selected. If the button is held down, the gain will increase automatically after each LED „blink‟...
Do not stare directly into the laser beam or the reflected light. For targets greater than 5 feet and up to 65 feet from the sensor, mount the laser on a tripod using the ¼ - 20 bushing on the bottom of the unit and attach T-5 reflective tape to the target.
CHARGING Slide the Power switch (8) to the Off/Charge position and plug in the charger. The Power LED (4) will blink red while the unit is fast charging. The Power LED will blink amber when slow (trickle) charging. It will be solid amber when the batteries are fully charged.
