ZMX Series 3D Time of Flight Sensor
large rectangular area and calculates a fill level as well as peak height of the whole area, allowing better control of how the
bin space is used and preventing overfill.
Container monitoring in three simple steps, up and running within minutes.
1.4 Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION:
•
Return defective units to the manufacturer.
•
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the
manufacturer.
Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical
instruments for intrabeam viewing.

Step 1—Mount and connect to sensor – mounting is ultra-simple with built-in mounting
holes or a variety of mounting brackets to choose from. Once mounted, connect the
cables and begin communicating with Banner Banner 3D Configuration software.
Step 2—Define Sensing Conditions – only a few inputs need to be defined for the
sensor to accurately monitor container height. Start by defining the anchor point for
measurements at the bottom of the container, then define the size of the sensing region
of interest. Finally, choose the sensing criteria for the application such as peak height or
volume.
Step 3—Monitor fill level – Once mounted and configured, the sensor is completely self-
contained and does not require any external controllers or PC. Begin sensing and
integrate with chosen PLC, controller, or indication light.
