The UKCA Declaration of Conformity and the technical documentation are available to the responsible authorities accor- ding to the UKCA Directives. Intended Use - The optoNCDT ILR3800 is designed for use in industrial and laboratory applications. It is used for Distance, displacement and position measurement Monitoring quality and checking dimensions - The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap.
Laser Safety The optoNCDT ILR3800 operates with a semiconductor laser with a wavelength of 655 nm (visible/red). The sensors fall within laser class 2. The laser is operated on a pulsed mode, the maximum optical power is ≤ 1 mW.
Short Description The optoNCDT ILR3800 is a laser distance measuring device that precisely measures distances in the range of 0.05 m to 150 m without contact. The measurement target can be clearly identified by the red laser measuring point. The maximum range depends on the reflectivity and surface properties of the target.

Reflectance of Target Surface The optoNCDT ILR3800-100 sensor is an optical system used to measure in the millimeter range. The sensor works based on the phase comparison method and evaluates the direct and diffuse reflections of the laser beam sent back.
5.1.3.1 Ambient Light The optoNCDT ILR3800 sensors are very good at suppressing ambient light thanks to their in-built optical interference filter. Nevertheless, highly reflective targets can cause errors on account of the glare caused by the strong reflections. If this happens, a less reflective surface should be used. The ideal target is white, slightly shiny and with a smooth surface.

Check that the measurement laser is pointing at the center of the reflector and adjust if necessary. The center of the laser spot must be in the center of the reflector over the entire measuring range. Target (reflector) and sensor can only be tilted by at most 5° relative to one another. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 14...
If the Power indicator turns red and the Status indicator turns yellow at the same time, a boot error has occur- red. Recovery is necessary. 1) Reduced measurement accuracy and measurement frequency possible 2) For ILR3800-100-H sensors with integral climate function only optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 15...
The IF2035/PROFINET, IF2035/EIP und IF2035/EtherCAT interface modules also supply the supply voltage (24 V DC) to the sensor. The voltage supply for the converters and interfaces is provided, for example, by the optionally available PS 2020 power supply. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 16...
The ground lines are connected internally and are the reference potential for all voltage values given below. The limit values for the voltages, loads and logic level comply with RS422 standards. All outputs are designed to be permanently resistant to short circuits. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 17...
Abb. 12 Supply voltage connection Voltage supply only for measuring devices, not to be used for drives or similar sources of impulse interference at the same time. MICRO-EPSILON recommends using the optionally available PS2020 power supply, see Chap. A 1, for the sensor.
The number of measured values received can be specified on the ILR3800 after a trigger pulse. You can start level triggering with - +U at the trigger input for H-level triggering - 0 V at the trigger input for L-level triggering optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 19...

Switch to the Settings > Data acquisition menu and set the values for Region of interest min and Region of interest max. The value ranges for the parameters - upper and lower limit (digital outputs), - analog output scaling, must be within the region of interest. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 22...
Output: The laser must be switched on manually (laser measure). The output of measured values is activated via a trig- ger. Fields with gray background Fields with dark border Value require a selection. require entry of a value. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 23...
Acquisition triggering therefore has a direct impact on the further processing of measured values. The sensor corrects errors internally based on the settings in the saved configurations. In the case of moving targets and data acquisition triggering, Micro-Epsilon recommends the Auto and Fast modes. 6.5.3 Triggering Measured Value Output The measured values are computed continuously and independently of the trigger event.
Mastering or Zeroing requires a target object to be present in the measuring range. Mastering und Zeroing influence the digital and the analog output. An invalid master value, e.g. no peak present, is acknowledged with the Error E602 Master value is out of range. optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 25...

After combining the 28 bits and transferring them to an unsigned integer with 32 bits, the uppermost bits not used by the sensor are set to 0: Abb. 28 Distance bytes in the correct order (Big endian) optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 28...
The sensor can continue to supply measured values to the RS422 output even while the sensor is communicating. The IF2001 converter from MICRO-EPSILON, which is connected to the sensor via the PC3800-x standard cable (also optional), is suitable for data exchange with a PC, see Chap.
This func- tion can also be used if the firmware is damaged, e.g. if the update process is faulty. Abb. 31 Resetting the sensor to factory setting optoNCDT ILR3800 Page 30...
Never use commercially available glass cleaner or other cleaning agents. Software Support with MEDAQLib MEDAQLib offers you a documented driver DLL.
