## **Password**
The Password function provides a measure of security for the sensor settings. If Password is set to ON, the password must be entered before the sensor is programmed. The password is 1234 and cannot be changed. Security is based on the requirement to know the password entry procedure and the timeout function. If the password is not entered within approximately 10 seconds, the sensor returns to Run mode. Measuring continues in the background while the password is entered.
## **Measurement Selection**
Select measurement in millimeters or one-hundredths of an inch. Measurements are displayed without decimal points as shown in the Run mode display. When measuring in inches, the decimal point is two places from the right.

## **Offset Value**
An offset value can be entered or taught. It increases or decreases the measured value to compensate for a mounting position that does not correspond with the zero-point of the sensor. For example, 3000 mm actual distance minus 1200 mm offset equals 1800 mm adjusted output value.
The offset value can be up to 100,000 mm or the corresponding value in inches. The plus and minus symbols are selectable. The offset value applies to all outputs. It reverts to 0 when the Factory Preset function is used.
## **Factory-Preset Conditions**
The sensor reverts to the following factory-preset conditions:
TEACH-In:
Q1 and Q2 (discrete) — single switchpoint (full sensing range), ± 5 mm hysteresis
QA (analog) — Mode 1, rising (positive slope, full sensing range) Offset — 0
Unit — mm Serial – RS422 Password – OFF

_Figure 5. The two discrete outputs share identical limits for background suppression but are complementary_
## **Discrete Outputs**
Output 1 and Output 2 can be configured identically, or they can have different limits and configurations. One or two sensing conditions can be taught for each output.
If one condition is taught, the output sets a switching threshold around which the selected hysteresis is applied.
The two-point TEACH result differs, depending on whether QuickSet or TEACH-In is used to set the limits. In QuickSet, the sensor averages the two taught values, then centers a 200 mm window around the averaged point (100 mm to each side). The TEACH-In window limits remain as taught, and the window can be any size.
The selected hysteresis is equally applied to each threshold and window near-limit and far-limit, no matter how they are taught.
## **Analog Outputs**
Analog Limit 1 and Analog Limit 2 must be at least 300 mm apart. Individually teach 4 mA (A1) and 20 mA (A2) points or use the Copy function (selectable in the Analog Output Mode menu) to copy the discrete limits (only the first limits of Discrete Limit 1 and Discrete Limit 2) to the analog output. When copying discrete limits to analog, Discrete Limit 1 and Discrete Limit 2 must be at least 300 mm apart, or the sensor will not copy the limits. The order in which the limits are copied determines the analog output slope. For Mode 1
- (positive slope) select:
- Q1, then Q2 — Limit Q1.1 becomes A1 (4 mA); Q2.1 becomes A2 (20 mA)
- Q2, then Q1 — Limit Q1.1 becomes A2 (20 mA); Q2.1 becomes A1 (4 mA)
## **Manual Adjust**
After TEACH mode, use Manual Adjust or Edit to adjust the value for an output. Use Manual Adjust or Edit instead of TEACH mode to input a precise limit value.
## **Theory of Operation**
A short electrical pulse drives a semiconductor laser diode to emit a pulse of light. The emitted light is collimated through a lens, which produces a very narrow laser beam. The laser beam bounces off the target, scattering some of its light through the sensor’s receiving lens to a photodiode, which creates an electrical pulse. The time interval between the two electrical pulses (transmitting and receiving the beam) is used to calculate the distance to the target, using the speed of light as a constant.
Multiple pulses are evaluated by the sensor’s microprocessor, which calculates the position value. The outputs energize when the target is located between the user-programmed window limits or when the preset switching threshold is crossed. Outputs are programmed for a variety of functions.

## **Aligning the Sensor With an Alignment Aid**
The alignment aid is useful for the precise alignment of the retroreflective sensor at long distances. With the alignment aid, it is easier to adjust the visible pilot laser spot, even when the spot is on a retroreflective target that is more than 50 m (160 ft) away.
**==> picture [36 x 63] intentionally omitted <==**
**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Sight hole<br>Focus screw<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>
1. Mount the sensor.
2. Affix the alignment aid over the laser emitters on the front of the sensor.
3. Activate any item on the **Main** menu to turn on the pilot laser.
4. Aim the sensor at the reflector.
5. Look into the sight hole from about 50 mm (2 in) away, rotating the barrel as needed.
6. Turn the focus screw located opposite the sight hole to focus the laser spot as sharply as possible.
7. Adjust the sensor or target position until the laser spot is centered on the target.
8. Tighten the mounting screws and recheck the alignment.
9. Remove the alignment aid.
While the alignment aid scope is in place, the displayed measurements are inaccurate. The pilot LED is visible only through the sight hole of the alignment aid; the red laser light cannot be seen on the target or another surface.
## **Aligning the Sensor Without an Alignment Aid**
The measuring (sensing) laser is located where the pilot laser spot is.
For fine adjustment, use bracket SMBLT7 with the fine-adjust accessory kit SMBLT7F for an angle of up to ±3° in both X and Y axes.
1. Use the bracket SMBLT7 to mount the sensor.
2. Select any item on the Programming menu and activate it. The pilot laser is on.
3. Hold the retroreflector or target at a short distance. For example less than 1 m (3 ft) and verify that the laser light-spot is centered on it.
4. Move the retroreflector or target to its final position, adjust the position as needed, and verify that the laser light-spot remains centered on it.
5. Tighten the screws of the bracket.
## **Installing the Mounting Brackets SMBLT7 and SMBLT7F**
These instructions are for the mounting bracket SMBLT7 and the fine-adjust accessory mounting bracket SMBLT7F.
1. Align the pins on the fine-adjust accessory bracket with the holes on the mounting bracket.
2. Bolt the fine-adjust accessory bracket to one or both angles of the mounting bracket.
3. Bolt the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface of the sensor.
4. Loosen the fine-adjust accessory bracket to adjust the laser sensor's alignment with the target. Laser sensor and target are aligned.
5. Tighten all bolts.

## **Teaching Analog Output Limits**
The procedure for teaching analog output limits and discrete output limits is the same, except that the analog output has no hysteresis. The analog output has one unique function: the discrete output limits Q1.1 and Q1.2 can be copied. To copy the discrete output limits to the analog output, follow the steps below:
1.
Press and or and to scroll to **TEACH-IN** > **<ANALOG>** .
The sensor is ready to learn the analog output limits. The procedure is identical to the one for teaching discrete output limits, except for the **Copy and Paste** function.
2.
Press or to copy and paste Q to A. **COPY Q->A** > **<ENTER>** .
The sensor is ready to copy the discrete output limits to the analog output.
3.
4.
Press to view the options.
Press and to scroll between options.
5. Press to select an option.
- **COPY Q->A** > **->Q1 & Q2** .
- **COPY Q->A** > **->Q2 & Q1** .
- <300 mm
The selected option, in combination with the selected mode, determines the analog output slope.
- For Mode 1 (positive slope): Q1 & Q2 – Limit Q1.1 becomes A1 (4 mA); Q2.1 becomes A2 (20 mA) Q2 & Q1 – Limit Q1.1 becomes A2 (20 mA); Q2.1 becomes A1 (4 mA)
- For Mode 2 (negative slope): The above is reversed. If discrete limits are not at least 300 mm apart, the display will show < 300 mm. The sensor will not perform the copy function.

## **Serial Response Speed**
The sensor recalculates the distance measurement every 12 ms. This is not a moving average. A new average is calculated for the previous 12 ms of data.
With the SSI output, the data can be read every 1.4 ms (possibly the _same_ reading for 8 or 9 readings, followed by a change). For the most accurate prediction of the target location, take a sample at the 1.4 ms read-rate of the SSI and determine when the change happens. In the worst case, the data is for the average target location and over the previous 12 ms, plus a 1.4 ms delay. For example, the 12 ms average was changed just after the previous read had started.
## **RS422 Protocol**
RS422 serial interface commands have this structure: <STX><Command><[Data]><EOT>. The sensor responds to the commands in three different ways:
- <NAK>—The command was not recognized or the data is outside the limit values.
• <ACK>—The command was recognized and executed. The command requires no response data. • <Data>—The command was recognized. The requested data was sent. **Definitions** STX Start transmission (hex 02 or CTRL B) EOT End of text (hex 04 or CTRL D) NAK No acknowledgement (hex 15 or CTRL U) ACK Acknowledge (hex 06 or CTRL F) Command 3-digit command (ASCII text) [Data] Whole numbers (ASCII text) ~~—~~ ———== **Note:** In ASCII text (Command + [Data]), spaces and uppercase/lowercase letters are ignored. **RS422 Cable** The RS422 interface is a reliable, serial interface in full duplex mode with transfer rates up to 10 MBaud. The maximum cable length is 1,000 m (4,000 ft). The shielded cable is connected to the sensor connector and the ground terminal of the control cabinet.

## **SSI-Compatible Interface**
With SSI-compatible data transmission, data updates in synchronization with the readout cycle. The data is as up-to-date as the time interval between two readouts. An intermittent readout is recommended. After a longer readout interval, the data contents of the first readout can be out-of-date and should be ignored.

## **SSI Cable**
The maximum baud rate for reliable data transmission depends on the cable length. The shielded connection cable is connected to the sensor connector and the ground terminal of the control cabinet.
|**Cable Lengths**|**Cable Lengths**|**Cable Lengths**|**Cable Lengths**|**Cable Lengths**|**Cable Lengths**|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Cable Length|< 25 m|< 50 m|< 100 m|< 200 m|< 400 m|
|Baud Rate|< 500 kHz|< 400 kHz|< 300 kHz|< 200 kHz|< 100 kHz|
## **Troubleshooting and Error Codes**
When an error occurs, the error output Qs or Qp is set. The LCD displays an error message.
Multiple errors may exist simultaneously. In this case, both Qs and Qp are set. The LCD displays the respective error messages. The error status is requested via the RS422 GSI command. For example, a voltage that is too low causes a counter error. As a result, the GSI command reports 00000110.
