The LT2000-SO Laser Distance Meter
operates over a substantial range off static or passing product in
difficult areas in harsh environments. The LT2000-SO measures distances
over a working range up to 30 meters off of natural surfaces, up to
100 meters off of white surfaces and up to 150 meters off of a special
reflector. For operation with automated positioning control of material
handling transport systems a white reflective target is used or the
special reflector is used.
Especially suited for precise detection and measurement of cold/hot
product at temperatures up to 600°C. For higher product temperature a
Model LT2000-HT is available for measurement of cold/hot product at
product temperatures up to 1200°C.
Straightforward alignment is easily accomplished via the visible red
laser measuring beam.
|
Accuracy is +/- 2mm to +/- 5mm according to ambient
temperature and surface reflectivity. Repeatability is +/- 0.5mm and the
user scalable resolution is 0.1mm.
The zero offset and the span of the 4 - 20mA analog output are both user
programmable. The distance offset is also user programmable, this allows
the user to define a zero point independent of the analog output zero
offset.
Provided with a user programmable digital switching output which is
triggered by exceeding in the positive or negative direction a user
programmable distance threshold. The hysteresis of the digital switching
output is also programmable.
The LT2000-SO is provided in a dust and waterproof protected IP65
enclosure. Standard operating temperature range is -10°C to 50°C.
Optional Secondary Environmental Enclosures are available for additional
protection for indoor, outdoor and elevated temperature applications.
The low cost LT2000-SO Laser Distance Meter provides a highly accurate
measurement reading. It is ideal for length and width determination, and
checking position of product in and around furnace areas.
Supplied as standard with a switch selectable RS232 or RS422/RS485 serial
interface with a 2400 to 38,400 Baud Rate & a programmable 4 - 20mA 16
BIT analog output. An optional ProfiBus DP Gateway Interface Box is
available. ProfiBus DP, DeviceNet and Ethernet Interface Options will
soon be available. |
