[730 m] away. Can be a distraction up to 4.5 miles [7.3 km] away. NEVER point any laser towards aircraft or vehicles; it is unsafe and illegal. Manufacturer: Safe Use Guidance: Monarch Instrument Class 3R lasers are safe when 15 Columbia Drive handled carefully. Do not look Amherst, NH 03031 USA into the beam.

1.0 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.
3. 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. 4. Power LED (Dependent on the Power switch location) On position: GREEN when the batteries are charged.
Aim the laser dot perpendicular to the target - reflective tape, contrasting color or keyway. If the On Target LED (1) is not on, push and hold the red Learn/Gain button (6) until the On Target LED (1) blinks regularly. Note that at higher RPMs the LED will be on solid.

5.0 OPERATION Note: Refer 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. The internal batteries will be trickle charged when using the AC charger/power supply.
5.1 Auto Mode Number of blinks Gain Make sure the Sensitivity Adjust knob (7) is fully counterclockwise and the Auto/Gain 1 Strong Signal LED (3) is on. Aim the laser at your target. Press and hold the Learn/Gain button (6) until the On Target LED (1) blinks regularly or is on solid (depending on the RPM of the target).
6.0 ADVANCED FEATURE (TARGET POLARITY) The input circuitry can be set to optimally work with two different target types: a reflective (white, shiny) target on a mostly non-reflective (black, dull) background or a non-reflective (black, dull) target or a mostly reflective (white, shiny) background.
In areas of high ambient light (outdoors), performance can be enhanced at long distances by slipping a piece of black tube with a minimum inner diameter of 0.6 inches, over the nose piece to act as an extension nose piece. This tube should not deflect the beam in any way. 8.0 RS232 Baud rate = 9600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
