> Damage to or destruction of the light source/receiver or the controller Notes on CE Marking The following apply to the optoCONTROL 2600: - EU Directive 2014/30/EU - EU Directive 2011/65/EU Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the relevant applicable harmonized European standards (EN).
Measure Intended Use - The optoCONTROL 2600 is designed for use in industrial and laboratory applications. It is used for measuring displacement, distance, edge and offset edge crack testing position acquisition of components or machine parts - The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see 3.5.
Measure Light Source The light source of the optoCONTROL 2600 is a high performance red LED. LED light sources are not classified according to the laser standard. On the controller a yellow LED (“Light On”) signals by its illumination that radiation is being emitted from the optical opening of the light source.
The sensor unit is controlled and evaluated by an intelligent controller with graphical display for operation and measurement indication. The data obtained with the various selectable measurement programs is output via ana- log and digital interfaces. Fig. 2 Measurement system ODC2600-40, complete optoCONTROL 2600 Page 8...

For each measurement program 2 limits and 2 warning levels can be programmed. For the Multi-segment program only 2 limits per segment 1 and segment 2 can be pro- grammed. Potentially measured segments 3 and 4 are not monitored. Application-specific measurement programs can also be generated by menu. optoCONTROL 2600 Page 10...

If two or more optoCONTROL 2600s are operated on the same target, they can be synchronized to one another, see 6.5. As master, controller 1 then synchronizes controller 2. All synchronization signals are electrically isolated by optocouplers. optoCONTROL 2600 Page 12...
