Introduction
This manual describes the daily routine usage of the LaserSpeed 9000 Gauge.
For installation and setup, see the LaserSpeed 9000 Instruction Handbook.
The Model LS9000 LaserSpeed
®
Non-Contact Length and Speed Gauge is an
industrial, laser-based instrument that measures the velocity and length 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 LS9000 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 1.5 amps. C24 VDC
to input pins 24 and 25 (+24V Power Input) on the 25-pin D-sub
connector on the back of the LS9000 sensor. Connect the power
ground to pins 12 and 13 (Power Ground for 24V Input) on the 25-pin
D-sub connector on the LS9000 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 LS9000 sensor.
RS232 Interface
For 9-Pin D-sub Computer
Serial Port
Connect the RS232 Cable from the 9 pin “D” connector on the
Breakout terminal strip to the Comm port on your computer. The cable
is a straight through cable without any pin reversal. The male end
connects to the 9 pin connector on the terminal strip for the gauge and
the female end connects to the computer.
Run the LaserTrak system software. Check for proper RS232 connection at a
baud rate of 115,200. If the interface fails, perform a search with the LS9000
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.
