Monarch Smart Laser Sensor for Measuring Speed with NIST Calibration Certificate
The Smart Laser Sensor (SLS) is an internal battery-powered optical sensor utilizing a visible Class 3R Laser for a TTL pulse output. This sensor has an operating range up to 65 feet with reflective tape and up to 3 feet* [1 m] contrasting color targets, bolt heads, or blades.
The SLS includes a power supply, cable, T-5 Reflective Tape, and NIST Calibration Certificate.
*Performance subject to the intensity of ambient light irradiation.
Detailed Description
The Smart Laser Sensor (SLS) is a self-contained unit intended to be used to make noncontact speed measurements from rotating targets at distances up to 65 feet [19.8 m] or to provide non-contact reference points to balancing equipment.
The unit will output one (TTL Compatible) pulse per revolution and has the ability to compute the RPM internally and output the ASCII values to any equipment capable of receiving an RS232 input. For best performance use reflective tape for the target.
Features
- “Smart” auto gain provides in picking up target reflection
- On-Target Indicator
- TTL pulse output signal inverter switch
- Manual sensitivity knob provides dynamic fine-tuning of sensor response
- On/Off or Recharge/Battery Condition Indicator
- Class 3R visible laser
- Signal/Pulse/RS232 output DIN connector port
- External DC power or port
- Tripod Mounting Bushing (¼ – 20 UNC)
Application
- Portable balancing TTL trigger
- Automotive and aerospace performance testing
- Vibration data collection TTL trigger, synchronous time averaging
- Paper making
- Converting felt speed, feed rates
- Data acquisition TTL trigger
- Rotating machinery speed readings and TTL trigger
