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. Refer to

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.
