General General Symbols used The following symbols are used in this document: CAUTION Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. NOTICE Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided. Indicates a user action.
General Intended Use - The interferoMETER measuring system is designed for use in an industrial environments and domestic areas. It is used for measuring displacement, distance, profile, thickness and surface inspection monitoring quality and checking dimensions. - The measuring system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data. - The measuring system must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the controller.
Laser Safety Glossary Laser Safety The interferoMETER measuring system works with a = Measuring range pilot laser of a wavelength of 635 nm (visible / red) offering max. power of < 0.01 mW and a measuring SMR = Start of measuring range laser of a wavelength of 840 nm with a max.
Operating Modes Operating Modes Setup, Connection Options Connect the components together and mount the The interferoMETER measuring system provides highly sensors into the clamps. accurate measurements of - distances against visually dense materials with Controller light-diffusing or reflective surfaces - thicknesses for transparent layer materials. By selecting the sensor, the distance or thickness mea- surement operating mode is selected.

Initial Operation Positioning the Target, Distance Measurement You can also position the sensor using the FFT sig- . The interferometric measuring principle provides The red-light pilot laser supports you in aligning the measurement values in front of and behind the actual sensor to the target during commissioning.
Initial Operation Positioning the Target, Thickness Measurement Material Selection The red-light pilot laser supports you in aligning the To measure the thickness of a material, you must specify sensor to the target during commissioning. the material of the target. Change to Material selection, menu Settings > Turn on or off the pilot laser in the menu Settings >...
Initial Operation Measurement Configuration Common measurement configurations (presets) for various target surfaces are stored on the controller and enable to quickly start the respective measurement task. This allows you to quickly start with your individual measurement task. In a preset the basic features like peak or material selection and calculation functions are already set. Go to the Home >...
Initial Operation FFT Signal Check Go to the Measurement chart menu. Show FFT signal display with FFT. The signal in the chart window shows the distance be- tween sensor and target or the target thickness. Left 0 % (small distance) and right 100 % (large distance).
Distance and Thickness Measurement with Web Page Display Distance and Thickness Measurement with Web Page Display Align the sensor vertically to the target object. Then, move the sensor (or the target) closer, until you more or less reach the start of measuring range for your sensor.

Data Output, Interface Selection Data Output, Interface Selection The controller supports - three digital interfaces that can be used in parallel for data output, Ethernet: enables fast data transfer, but provides no real-time capabilities (packet-based data transfer). Both measurement and FFT data can be transferred.
