For repair and service purposes, the sensors must always be sent to the manufacturer. Please observe national regulations, e. g., Laser Notice No. 56 for the USA. Fig. 2.2: Laser information and laser warning sign on the sensor housing optoNCDT 5500 Page 6...
Functional principle, technical data Brief description The optoNCDT 5500 operates according to the principle of optical triangulation, i.e. a visible, modulated light spot is pro- jected onto the surface of the measuring object. The diffuse part of the reflection of this light spot is imaged on a spatial resolution element (CMOS) by a receiver optic arranged at a certain angle to the optical axis of the laser beam.
Access to web interface requires connection to PC Value applies only to the standard measuring range; FSO = Full Scale Output; the specified data apply to white, diffuse reflecting surfaces (Mic Measuring rate 20 kHz, median 9 optoNCDT 5500 Page 8...

In case of bore holes, blind holes and edges in the (shadow) surface of moving parts, the sensor must be arranged in such a way that the edge does not obscure the la ser spot. optoNCDT Tab. 5.3: Sensor arrangement for holes and edges optoNCDT 5500 Page 11...
The bearing surfaces surrounding the through-holes (fastening holes) are slightly raised. Ensure careful handling of the sensor during installation and operation. Mount the sensor only to the existing through-bores on a flat surface. Any type of clamping is not permitted. Do not exceed torques. optoNCDT 5500 Page 12...

The display shows how the adjustable measurement task (target material), peak selection and possible interfering signals due to reflections or similar affect the video signal. There is no linear relationship between the position of the peak in the video signal display and the output measured value. optoNCDT 5500 Page 23...
The delay time between detection and start of output is therefore at least 52 µs. As the cycles are processed in parallel, the next measured value (N+1) is output after a further 13 µs. optoNCDT 5500 Page 24...
The sensor can continue to supply measurements to the RS422 output even while the sensor is com municating. The IF2008/PCIE PCI-BUS interface card from MICRO-EPSILON, which is connected to the sensor via the optional PC5500-x/IF2008 interface cable, is suitable for data exchange with a PC. The IF2008/PCIE combines the three bytes of the data word and stores them in the FIFO.
