Safety Information Under NO circumstances should the earth
safety connections be
broken internal damage to sensitive electronic components may
occur and at worst electrocution to personnel may result.
This equipment must be earthed/grounded. Relays and associated
wiring are rated for SELV levels i.e. 60 Vdc
& 30 vac rms. These levels must not be exceeded.
Maintenance, repairs and electrical connections should be
performed by a suitably qualified person for the country of
installation.
Intended Use If the equipment is used in a manner not specified
by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may
be impaired.
Laser Classification The Model LS4000-1 Non-contact Length and
Speed Gauge (Model LS4000-1) is classified as a IIIb laser device.
This category contains infrared and visible laser devices with
powers up to 500 mW. The optical sensor in the system uses a 50 mW
solid-state laser device operating between 760 and 800 nm (near
infrared region of the spectrum). A class IIIb product must have
the following safety features: A 5-second delay after power-up
before
laser radiation is emitted from the sensor. An indicator light
to inform personnel near the sensor that laser
radiation is being emitted. A mechanical device to physically
block the laser beam from exiting the
sensor. An interlock circuit to shut off the laser when the
circuit is opened. All hazards must be properly identified with
warning labels.

LaserSpeed 4000-1 Operator Guide Safety Information
Part No. 92669 / Drawing No. 0921-00876 Page 8 of 22 Revision D
(Dec, 2006)
These basic safety features are incorporated to promote safe
operation of the laser. A class 3b laser must also have a keyswitch
to power the laser ensuring that only trained personnel can operate
the instrument. Because the location of the sensor can often make
it difficult to access a keyswitch, the keyswitch needs to be
installed by the final user. It should be placed in a location that
will be readily accessible to the operators. For more information
on installing the laser keyswitch, see the Installing the System
section in the LS4000-1 Instruction Handbook. The user of a laser
device must comply with a different set of regulations. Many
countries and individual states have passed legislation regarding
the use of laser products. The following system specifications will
help establish appropriate safety measures.
Maximum Laser Power 0.050 watt
Laser Wavelength 0.785 micrometer
Laser Spot Size (Elliptical) 3 x 1.5 millimeters
Beam Divergence 0.5 millirad
Pulse Rate Continuous wave
Maximum radiance (power divided by spot-size area)
0.050 watt/0.141372 cm2
[0.3536 W/cm2]
Laser Safety Precautions The laser beam in the optical sensor is
very powerful and can permanently damage eyes not protected by
laser safety glasses. To avoid exposing yourself to hazardous
radiation, you must take these precautions: Never look into the
laser beam. If you must look at the beam, view it
from an angle and in the direction in which the beam is
traveling. The beams emitted from the Model LS4000-1 are invisible
to the
unaided eye. Return the beam shutter to the closed position when
the system is not in use or during setup.
Ensure that all direct reflections are blocked. Remove all
rings, watches, or jewelry from your hands when
working on or near the sensorcan cause hazardous reflections.
Never install the instrument at eye level. Operate the system only
with people who have been instructed in laser
safety. Post warning signs and lights that are active when laser
is operating.

Labels and Safety Features This section acquaints you with the
advisory and identification labels on the instrument and the safety
features incorporated into the design of the instrument. The
following figure shows the advisory and identification labels on
the Model LS4000-1.
Laser Shutter The LS4000-1 has an internal electro-mechanical
shutter, which is in the closed position unless an external signal
is supplied (grounding of input pins). The shutter should be kept
in a closed position when the instrument is not in use. For more
information on shutter operation, refer to the Interfacing with the
LS4000-1 section in the LS4000-1 Instruction Handbook.

(Dec, 2006)
Laser Emission Indicator The LS4000-1 has a laser emission
indicator on the top of the sensor. When lit, it indicates that the
laser in the system is active and potentially harmful laser
radiation is being emitted from the unit.
Delayed Laser Startup The laser emission indicator is turned on
immediately after power is applied, the keyswitch is turned on, and
the laser interlock is closed. There is a 7-second delay before the
laser is powered on. This delay gives personnel working in the
vicinity of the laser sufficient time to take appropriate action
upon viewing the laser emission indicator.
Remote Interlock Capability According to the CDRH regulations,
each sensor must have a remote interlock capability to allow you to
enable or disable each sensor from a remote location. The remote
interlock is located on the 25-pin D-sub at the back of the sensor.
The interlock pin (Pin 16) must be connected to ground in order for
the laser to operate. A remote switch can be installed between the
interlock pin and ground. Multiple switches can be run in series
fashion to incorporate multiple safety interlock locations.
Protective Eyewear Wearing protective eyewear is recommended
when working on or near the sensor. Use extra care because the
laser emits invisible light at a nominal wavelength of 780
nanometers (near the infrared portion of the optical spectrum). The
lenses of the protective glasses or goggles should have an optical
density of greater than 5 in the wavelength range of 700 to 860
nanometers. Luminous transmittance should be 45 percent. Protective
eyewear can be purchased from these manufacturers: Dalloz Safety

(Dec, 2006)
Introduction This manual describes the daily routine usage of
the LaserSpeed 4000-1 Gauge. For installation and setup, see the
LaserSpeed 4000-1 Instruction Handbook. The Model LS4000-1
LaserSpeed Noncontact Length and Speed Gauge is an industrial,
laser-based instrument that measures the velocity of moving
material. Due to the nature of the laser-based measurement, there
is no physical contact with the material.
Quick Start The following will help you set up and operate the
LS4000-1 for the first time. You can also use this information to
check for possible connection problems during troubleshooting.
Power Connection The sensor requires 24 VDC of power at 1 amp.
Connect +24 VDC to input pins 24 and 25 (+24V Power Input) on the
25-pin D-sub connector on the back of the LS4000-1 sensor. Connect
the power ground to pins 12 and 13 (Power Ground for 24V Input) on
the 25-pin D-sub connector on the LS4000-1 sensor.
Shutter Control Connect pin 17 (Shutter Control) to pin 11
(Signal Ground). This will open the shutter and permit the laser
beams to exit the sensor.
Laser Interlock Connect pin 16 (Laser Interlock) to pin 21
(Signal Ground). This will power the laser. With +24 VDC connected
and pin 16 (Laser Interlock) and pin 17 (Shutter Control) grounded,
the laser will be visible on paper held in front of the LS4000-1
sensor.
RS232 Interface

software to make the connection. If the search fails, re-check
all RS232 connections and search again. If the RS232 still is not
working, try another computer. Some computers do not support a baud
rate of 115,200.
Operation of the Gauge With LaserTrak LaserTrak for Windows is a
Windows-based software program, which allows you to acquire and
display the length and velocity in real time. The LaserTrak
software configures the respective gauges operating parameters,
displays data, and collects data, which can be stored to a computer
hard drive. This gauge family provides a set of versatile tools
that are applicable for a wide variety of process measurement
schemes. LaserTrak allows you to take full advantage of this
versatility in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner. There
are several features available with the LaserTrak software.
LaserTrak mimics a chart recorder output on the screen and presents
a time history depiction of the data. LaserTrak can acquire and
store data. LaserTrak can display the stored data in a previously
acquired data file.
LaserTrak for Windows Note: LaserTrak Version 3.6 or greater
must be used with the LS4000-1
gauge.
A Quick Tour This section provides an operational sequence to
help you use the LaserTrak software. It walks you through some
basic information that will help you with collecting and analyzing
data.
