To change the setting, move the Polarity switch (5) to the left (positive
pulse) for a white target or to the right (negative pulse) for a black target.
Turn the Sensitivity Adjust knob (7) to Max. Press and hold the Learn/
Gain button (6) until the Auto/Gain LED (3) blinks.
8.0 AIMING THE LASER
The proper operation of the Laser Sensor is dependent upon the alignment
to and reflectivity of the target. In order to aim the beam it is necessary to
stand behind the sensor and view the target along the plane of the beam. Do
not stare directly into the laser beam or the reflected light. For targets
greater than 5 feet and up to 65 feet from the sensor, mount the laser on a
tripod using the ¼ - 20 bushing on the bottom of the unit and attach T-5
reflective tape to the target.
To aid in locating the laser dot over a large distance, hold a piece of white
cardboard or equivalent in front of the laser. Progressively move the white
surface closer to the desired target. Then adjust the aim of the laser as
necessary.
In areas of high ambient light (outdoors), performance can be enhanced at
long distances by slipping a piece of black tube with a minimum inner
diameter of 0.6 inches, over the nose piece to act as an extension nose piece.
This tube should not deflect the beam in any way.
9.0 RS232
Baud rate = 9600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
When the unit is turned on, it will send out: “SLS<lf><cr>Vx.x<lf><cr>
0.0<cr>”. Where <lf> is the linefeed character, <cr> is a carriage return
character, and x.x is the firmware version number.
The unit will send out the current RPM as a right justified 7-digit ASCII
number that will always include a decimal point followed by carriage return.
The update rate is a function of the speed of the target and will not exceed
twice per second.
