LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook Safety Information




Safety Information

This equipment must be earthed/grounded.

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.

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 (as

described in this manual), the protection provided by the equipment may be

impaired.

DP1000 Safety

The DP1000 controller contains no laser sources and is relatively safe. For

troubleshooting purposes, there is a key on the front of the DP1000 which enables

the laser in the LS9000 to be turned off while the gauge is running. This is only to

be used if the gauge cannot be fixed while power is off.



LS9000 Laser Safety

Laser Classification

The Model LS9000 Non-contact Length and Speed

Gauge (Model LS9000) is classified as a 3B laser

device. This category contains infrared and visible

laser devices with powers up to 500 mW. The

optical gauge 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 3B product must have the following safety

features:

A 5-second delay after power-up before

laser radiation is emitted from the gauge.

An indicator light to inform personnel near

the gauge that laser radiation is being

emitted.

A mechanical device to physically block the

laser beam from exiting the gauge.

An interlock circuit to shut off the laser

when the circuit is opened.

All hazards must be properly identified with warning labels.

These basic safety features are incorporated to promote safe operation of the

laser.

A class 3B laser must also have a key switch to power the laser, ensuring that

only trained personnel can operate the instrument. Because the location of the

gauge can often make it difficult to access a key switch, the key switch 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 key

switch, see the Installing the System section of the LS9000 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.

Laser Safety Precautions

The laser beam in the optical gauge 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 LS9000 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 gauge—these can 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.



If your country or state has no regulations governing the safe use of lasers, NDC

Technologies recommends that you follow the guidelines specified by the

American National Standard for the safe use of lasers (ANSI Z136.1–2014). For a

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook Introduction


Introduction

This manual describes the installation and setup of the LaserSpeed 9000 MID

system. For daily usage and routine maintenance, see the LaserSpeed 9000 MID

Operator Guide.

The LS9000 9000 MID system is an industrial, laser-based measurement

instrument (LS9000) coupled to an indicator (DP1000) that displays the velocity

and length of moving material. Output alarms are used to monitor the length and

signal quality. Due to the nature of the laser-based measurement, there is no

physical contact with the material.

The LaserSpeed 9000 (LS9000) gauge is a non-contact gauge - this eliminates

the problems of wheel wear and slippage that plague mechanical/ encoder based

length measurement systems. The LS9000 gauge has the ability to measure in

both positive and negative directions, as well as zero-speed. The LS9000 is

specifically designed to work in applications where the material to be measured

stops and reverses direction, or moves very slowly. The LS9000 can also

measure material moving at very high speed.

The DataPro 1000 (DP1000) is a data processor and indicator designed for

length and line speed applications. It displays the velocity and length of the

moving material.

The LS9000 MID requires 110-240 VAC input power to operate. The DP1000

(controller) and power supply are housed in a 19inch enclosure designed for a

19inch rack. The system has a variety of industrial outputs. Also, a variety of

information including length, time, date, machine number and product number can

be read and configured using the communications interfaces.

The LS9000 MID system is permanently calibrated to a NIST-traceable standard

at the factory and has been certified to MID for length measurement. Aside from

periodic cleaning of the gauge optical window, the LS9000 MID system does not

require maintenance. See the Specifications section at the end of this manual.

The surface of the DP1000 cabinet and display can be cleaned by gently wiping

with a detergent solution of warm soapy water.

Alarm annunciator units are optional and can be connected to relays available on

the DataPro 1000 to alert for tolerance errors. An optional USB printer can be

connected to the DataPro 1000 to get length reports



Principle of Operation

LaserSpeed utilizes dual-beam interferometer technology to provide accurate

velocity readings. The measured velocity is integrated over time to measure the

length of moving objects. The opto-electronic portion of the LS9000 generates a

laser beam that is split and then crossed in space. The two crossing beams

interact, producing a fringe pattern that is orthogonal to the plane of the beams.

Light is scattered when material passes through the measurement region. This

scattered light is collected by the gauge and converted to electrical signals. The

frequency of the electrical signal contains information with regards to the velocity

of the material. The signal processor converts the electrical signals to frequency

information that is directly proportional to the velocity of the material moving

through the laser beams. The signal processor converts the frequency information

into velocity information and updates user outputs. In order to determine if there

is an object in the measurement area, the gauge measures the amount of

reflected laser light.

The information is then passed to the DP1000 (controller) or to a PC running

LaserTrak software.

Installing the DataPro 1000 Cabinet

This section describes Installing the 3U Cabinet (containing the DP1000 and

Power supply) into a 19inch rack.

For details on installation category, pollution degree and Ingress Protection (IP)

see Environmental Conditions in the Specifications section.

The DP1000 cabinet is an enclosed unit with no ventilation openings. As long as

operating temperatures specifications are not exceeded, the unit will operate as

intended.

Ensure the DP1000 is not located too far away from the LS9000 gauge. Note that

one of the following cable lengths will have been supplied as part of your order:

3m, 10m, 20m, 30m or 50m.

Mounting the DP1000 Cabinet into a 19inch (483mm) Rack

1) Hold cabinet in required position in order to determine location of the 2

horizontal chassis supports and the location for the caged nuts (for the

front 4 holes).

2) If used, location for telescopic slides can also be determined. If slides are

used, the rack must be bolted to the floor to prevent the rack from

toppling over.

3) Install 2 chassis support brackets onto rack. These will support the weight

of the unit.

4) Insert caged nuts into the 19inch vertical mounting rail (see the Rack

Drawing below).

5) Secure the cabinet chassis by installing screws through the four holes in

the front panel in such a way that they engage the threaded holes on the

caged nuts in the rails. These screws prevent the unit from being pulled

out on its slides accidentally, but they are not intended to support the

weight of the unit.

Mounting the LS9000

Mounting Distance

Your product must be positioned at an acceptable standoff distance from the

LS9000 for accurate measurements. The acceptable standoff distance and

allowable depth of field is shown in the table. Valid measurements are taken

anywhere within the field depth, so standoff distances between 282.5mm

(111inches) and 317.5mm (125inches) would be acceptable.

Model Standoff Distance Depth of Field

LS9000-303 300mm (11.8 in) 35mm (1.4 in)

LS9000-306 600mm (23.6 in) 50mm (2.0 in)

The laser beam must be aligned to the center 20% on round products, so, while

looking at the cross-section of the product, it should be on-center within ±10% of

the diameter. For flat products, the product must be completely within the depth of

the field. Normally, the gauge will be aligned perpendicular to the product.



When the material is within the depth of field, the gauge will take accurate

measurements. Since the best signal comes from the center of the depth of field,

the center is the source of the best measurements. This is because the two laser

beams totally overlap at the center of the beam crossings and all of the laser

power is used to form fringes.

At the edges of the depth of field, however, some beam-crossing areas overlap

and some do not. The areas that overlap form fringes and thus yield useful

Doppler signals. The areas that do not overlap do not form fringes; rather, they

produce only noise with no Doppler signals. Any measurements made outside the

depth of field may not be reliable.

Laser Safety

When mounting the gauge, ensure that the laser beams are blocked by machinery

or beam blocks when material is not present in the measurement area.



Mounting Location

When mounting the gauge over the material, be sure the gauge is not directly

over a roller or some other device. If the laser beam from the gauge strikes an

object, it may detect a false Material Present. In this case, the gauge will not be

able to detect when the actual material is not in the measurement volume.

A device that captures most of the laser

light is called a beam dump and may be

required (see figure to right). A suitable

beam dump is a large-diameter pipe,

150 millimeters (6 inches) or larger,

angled at 45° from the laser beams. A

rusty pipe is an excellent beam dump. If

scale can deposit in the base of the

beam dump, the pipe may need to be

cleaned periodically to prevent false

Material Present readings. The beam

dump should be far enough from the

gauge that it cannot be measured. If it’s

too close, the LS9000 may measure its

speed (normally zero, but may be non-

zero because of vibration) when there is

nothing else to measure. Placing the

beam dump at least double the standoff

distance from the gauge will ensure that

the gauge cannot measure it.

Line Direction for LS9000

By default, when looking at the top of the LS9000, with the laser beams pointed

toward the floor and the connectors pointed toward the ceiling, positive velocity is

movement to the right.

Aligning the LS9000

Once the gauge is mounted at the proper standoff distance, the critical alignment

angles need to be checked. To obtain accurate results, the LS9000 must be

mounted so the surface being measured is perpendicular to the optical axis. The

best method to ensure this is to place a level alongside the gauge. The material

being measured should be parallel to the front face of the gauge and the material

motion should be parallel to the base of the gauge.

The velocity measurement, which is made in the plane of the two laser beams, is

the rate at which the material passes the fringes of the beams. When the motion

of the material is perpendicular to the fringes, the velocity measurement is

considered calibrated. If the fringes are at an angle to the motion of the material

(angular rotation), measurement errors occur. The measured velocity equals the

actual velocity multiplied by the cosine of the angle by which the alignment

deviates from the direction of material movement.



Three types of misalignment are possible. Two of the three are responsible for

measurement errors: rotation about the optical axis and tilt in the plane of the

beams. The errors are proportional to the sine of the misalignment angle.

Misalignment will always make the gauge measure velocities and lengths that are

too low.

Orientation of LS9000

The LaserSpeed gauge must be mounted such that the material to be measured

moves in a direction parallel to the bottom of the LS9000, as shown below.



Environmental Conditions for LS9000

Ambient Operating Temperatures over 45C

All LaserSpeed gauges have a built-in cooling system for applications in which

ambient temperatures exceed 45ºC (113F).

Cooling fluids can be routed through the gauge using the 1/8-inch NPT fittings on

the back of the gauge. Typical flow rates of 1.5 liters/minute for water and 50

liters/minute for air are sufficient. There is minimal pressure drop through the

gauge, so supply pressure can be very low.

Ensure that the water temperature is above the condensation temperature or dew

point, to prevent condensation from collecting on the front window of the gauge. If

water condenses on the optical window, the laser beams could be blocked,

resulting in reduced performance or loss of function.

In applications with coolants on the material, an air jet may be required to remove

the coolant from the measurement area. Since the speed of the coolant is

generally different from that of the material, erroneous measurements could

result. When incorporating an air jet, be sure to blow the coolant from the

measurement volume at 90° from the material’s motion. If the coolant is blown off

in the same direction the material is moving, the air velocity can add or subtract

from the material’s velocity; this too may cause erroneous measurements.

Steam or Mist Causing Inaccuracies

Steam or mist is sometimes present in some applications. The air-wipe is not

designed to clear steam or mist between the gauge and material, but only to keep

contaminants from depositing on the optics window. Another means of removing

steam or mist may need to be used. The steam or mist may be light enough to

allow the laser beams to pass through without interference. If this is not true, a fan

may be used to clear out the steam or mist between the gauge and housing. If a

fan is not adequate or practical, an “air purge” can be installed to clear the beam

path. Contact your NDC Technologies representative for more details. When

mounting the gauge, be aware of the environment in which the gauge is

operating. Steam, mist, coolant on the material, ambient temperature, scale and

slag may all affect the performance of the gauge. These environmental conditions

may need to be modified as mentioned above in order to maximize the

performance of the gauge.



Connecting Power to the LS9000

The LS9000 receives 24 VDC through the supplied 25 pin cable. The only

connection required is a connection from the mains to the power supply unit on

the DataPro 1000 cabinet.

Notes:

Do not attach wires to the gauge while power is applied. Make all wiring

connections with power turned off. The gauge contains internal fusing (3A, 125V)

on the 24 VDC supply line. This fuse is not user serviceable.

When power is applied to the LS9000 the green “Power ON” LED should light up.

The LS9000 is classified as a kit, according to CDRH regulations. However, the

laser shutter interlock key has been installed in the DataPro 1000 cabinet to

control the operation of the device. The key is removable only in the “Off” or

“Safe” position. For more information on laser safety issues, refer to the Laser

Safety section at the beginning of this manual.

Connection Examples

Length Reset

The Length Reset input requires 2-28 V to turn on and 0.7 V to turn off. The

Length Reset references to Signal Common. The Length Reset input is biased to

2.5 volts through a 16K resistor, so shorting Pins 21 and 22 together on the User

Connector will reset the length when the pins are opened. It is better to switch the

Length Reset between Signal Common +5 volts, which will give a better noise

margin.

Connecting the LS9000 to a Printer

Use the USB connector on the DataPro 1000 connector panel to connect it to a

supported printer.

Printers Tested with LS9000-MID:

Brand Model Interface

HP DeskJet 6940 PCL+USB+Ethernet

HP DeskJet 5150 PCL Obsolete

Epson FX-890 Impact printer+ESC®, IBM® 2380 Plus emulation

Brother HL-2070N Laser PCL6

Lexmark E120N Laser PCL6

Generally printers that have PCL 6, have internal fonts, or are Epson-compatible

should work correctly with the LS9000 MID system. NDC Technologies will not

guarantee any other printer than the ones listed above. Most inexpensive inkjet

and Laser printers do not have internal fonts, and therefore will not operate

properly with this system.



LS9000 Connector Panel

The 25 pin connection on the LS9000 gauge is used to output data to the

DP1000. For other connections, see the following information.

Note: In order for the LS9000 to be operational, the laser and shutter must be

properly connected, and 24VDC power must be applied. These

connections are internally maintained in the DataPro 1000 cabinet.

These signals operate the internal laser shutter and the laser interlock. In

this case, the laser is active when power is applied. The LaserEnable

key on the front of the DataPro 1000 cabinet and pins 16 and 21 on the

User Pulse output determines if the laser is in SAFE mode (no beam

exiting the LaserSpeed unit) or in EMITTING mode (laser is exiting the

gauge, so care must be exercised).

LS9000 DB25 Interface Cables

These cables connect the LS9000 25-Pin connector, and are available in following

lengths:

Part Number Length Cable Description

240211-3M 3m (9.8 ft) CABLE GAUGE-DB25/DB25 3M




240211-50M 50m (164 ft) CABLE GAUGE-DB25/DB25 50M



DP1000 Quality Factor Input

The LaserSpeed is internally connected to the Quality Factor input of the DP1000

through the LaserSpeed DB25 Connector. This will display the measurement

quality factor. The Quality factor is displayed as a value from 0 to 15 (15 being

good). This value can be toleranced using the tolerance entry page and alarms

can be triggered on the warning and reject tolerances when the entered minimum

value is not met. See the wiring diagram for connection pin outs on the User

DB25 connector.

Normally the Reject setting is 10 and Warning is 12 for quality factor.

DP1000 Linespeed Interconnections to the LaserSpeed

The LaserSpeed is internally connected to the Quadrature length input of the

DP1000 through the DB25 LaserSpeed connector. This will display the length

and calculated line speed. The line speed is displayed as a positive or negative

value according to the current line speed (limit of +/-9,999 m/min. The length can

range between +/-9,999,999 meters. This value can be toleranced using the

tolerance entry page and alarms can be triggered when the initial approach length

is reached and also when the final length is reached. See the wiring diagram for

connection pinouts on the User DB25 connector.

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook LaserSpeed 9000 Setup


LaserSpeed 9000 Setup

Once the LaserSpeed DB25 and mains power cable have been

connected, the system is now at the point where it can be powered on and

the laser activated so beams are emitted from the front of the gauge. Be

sure to note the functionality of the laser interlock and shutter control key

switch.

When power is applied, the laser becomes operational.

When the key switch is in the EMITTING position, the shutter will open.

Check the key switch to verify the laser power can be controlled.

Warning: Avoid exposure to the beam. Never look directly into the laser

beams, even when wearing protective eyewear. Eye damage could

result.

Note: There may be some delay time between when the system is powered

on, and when the laser comes on. There is a 7 sec delay after power

is applied to the laser (key switch on, laser interlock closed) before

the laser turns on. The laser will also not turn on until the laser

temperature controller stabilizes. This may take several minutes.

The standoff distance can be verified by using a business card or

sheet of white paper. Both beams can be viewed and the area

where the beams overlap is the active measurement region. The

location where the overlap of the beams is smallest is the center of

the measurement region. This location corresponds to the standoff

distance and is where the beams should intersect the product.

The configuration and setup of the gauge can be checked using the supplied

LaserTrak Software. Utilizing either one of these approaches requires a computer

with an RS-232 serial port connected to pins 1 and 2 of the 25-pin D-sub

connector, or an RS-422 serial port connected to pins 1-4 of the 9-pin D-sub

connector. The settings in the LaserSpeed are fixed at the factory and cannot be

changed using any of the above methods. They are read-only.

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook LaserSpeed 9000 Setup


Once proper communication is established, it is recommended to check the

Quality Factor (QF). QF can be checked using LaserTrak, and viewing the chart

recorder screen. If it is below 15, try to move the product or the gauge slightly

(adjust the standoff) and look for improvements in QF. Once QF is maximized,

change the line speed and look for a corresponding velocity change on the chart

recorder.

To ensure quality measurements, the laser beams must maintain “contact” with

the product. If the product exhibits large movements during operation, it should

be stabilized with external roller guides. NDC Technologies offers optional

product guides. Contact your local NDC Technologies sales representative or the

factory for additional information.

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook DataPro 1000 Setup


DataPro 1000 Setup

Two menus are used for setting up the DataPro 1000: the Main Setup menu and

the Global Setup Menu. The Main Setup Menu is intended for line supervisors and

these parameters will usually need changing for a new product. The Global Setup

Menu is generally only used at installation and it is recommended that access to

this menu is restricted (see Security settings in the section System Setup Page

Ethernet Data Logging

Ethernet provides the same string as that which comes out the serial port: Time,

date, length, and machine/product header. These are requested from the serial

port or digital input or they are set to happen at a user set interval of length. The

log entries are followed by a number indicating if they are from an event as

opposed to be a regularly scheduled entry.

String Function Note

1 Provides the

time, date and length.

Available over RS-232 or Ethernet (if connected)

For RS232 see also section DP1000 Digital Inputs.

Establishing Communications

To connect to the Ethernet port of the DP1000, a category 5 Ethernet cable with

RJ-45 connectors should be used. The connection can be made from the DP1000

to an Ethernet Hub or directly to the PC. If connecting directly to the PC, a cross-

over cable should be used.

The default IP address of the DP1000 is set to 10.0.0.1.

In order for the DP1000 and the PC to communicate using TCP/IP, they must

reside on the same LAN, be part of the same sub network, and have unique IP

addresses. Use the IP Setup Tool to determine the IP address of the DP1000.

Once the IP address of the DP1000 is known, change the IP address of the PC to

match the DP1000 (except for the last number).

To do so, go to Network Connections, click on Local Area Connection, and go to

Properties. Within the Local Area Connection Properties window, select Internet

Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.



The following window will be displayed.

Enter the same IP address as the DP1000 except for the last number. For

example, if the IP address of the DP1000 is 10.1.1.11, enter 10.1.1.10.

Collecting Data

Data may be collected by a program such as Windows Hyperterminal.

To connect via Hyperterminal, run Hyperterminal from the Windows Accessories

menu. Create a new connection, name it, and click Ok.



The following window will be displayed.

Select TCP/IP (Winsock) for “Connect using”. Enter the IP address of the

DP1000, enter Port number 23, and click Ok.

Data can be queried by sending a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. Also, the data will be sent

according to the interval/frequency set on the DP1000.

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook Installation and Commissioning


Installation and Commissioning

Procedure

1) Pre-commissioning:

Contact NDC Technologies in Dortmund, Germany to perform a joint

project engineering meeting, including inspection of the machinery on-site.

All important details and characteristics of this machinery, such as

minimum and maximum speed and the product characteristics, will be

discussed.

2) At the time of delivery, the order should be checked for completeness, and

any visible damage must be checked. If damage is found, contact the NDC

Technologies office in Dortmund.

3) The LaserSpeed gauge is installed as described in the Installation section

of this handbook. The gauge mounting structure must be stable so that the

LaserSpeed cannot vibrate/oscillate. NDC Technologies recommends a

separate floor anchoring for the LaserSpeed measuring device to eliminate

any vibrations of the machine and to decouple the LaserSpeed from such

vibrations. Please refer to the section on Materials of Different Thickness.

The appropriate mounting location is determined during the project

engineering meeting.

4) The DP1000 rack housing should be installed as described in the

Mounting the DP1000 Cabinet section of this handbook.

5) The supplied LaserTrak software should be installed on a Windows PC

and used to check speed measurements and to examine the quality factor

for stability. See the LaserSpeed 9000 Setup section of this handbook.

6) The Initial Startup Procedure is carried out together with our NDC

Technologies service engineer on-site.

7) Tamper-proof labels to signal ingress are applied after completion of the

mechanical and electrical installation of the products.

8) Length measurement results are stored in a test sheet. Using the length

measurements by the LaserSpeed 9000 MID compared to measurements

from a certified measuring tape length (the reference), differences are

calculated to ensure that system accuracy meets defined Accuracy Class

assignment and standards



9) When complete, the Accuracy Class Label is applied to the front of the

DP1000.

Materials of Different Thickness

If materials of different thickness are used and the product will not fit in the

gauge’s depth of field, it will be necessary to raise the gauge’s height position.

In this case, the LaserSpeed mounting bracket will have a tamper proof label

affixed to indicate the second or third positioning location of the gauge. Each

single mark will indicate a specific product. A cross-reference between the

mark/secure label and the actual running material will be visible from the machine

operator's desk.

These protection marks are added during the commissioning by an authorized employee of NDC Technologies on-site, and they are protected by tamper-proof labels.



Tamper-proof Labels

The final stage of LaserSpeed MID installation is to secure all electrical

connections and mechanical mounting parts by using the tamper-proof labels

shown below.

LaserSpeed 9000 MID Instruction Handbook



Initial Startup

At initial startup of the LS9000 MID System, length measurements of all

possible products running on this machine will be ascertained.

The length measuring procedure is to be carried out as described in the

manual. The table for both round and flat products, given in this manual, will

be used. At startup, the following parameters will be recorded:

Customer name

Location/City

Date and time

The names of the persons taking the length measurements

Product name/type

Product temperature in °C

Product tension in Nm

Ambient temperature in °C

LaserSpeed 9000 MID serial number

Certified Reference Tape; Vendor & Serial Number & Calibration

Certificate

For flat products: Product speed: Slowly, Medium, Fast

For round products: Product diameter: Minimum, Medium, Maximum

Every single product must be measured by the LS9000MID at least

three times

Length measurement are saved for verification by a certified tape

The LS9000MID is delivered with the measuring accuracy of Classification I

(certified by NDC Technologies) and the Accuracy Classification will be re-

established based on the length measuring results on-site confirming the

composite accuracy of the LS9000MID integrated with the Production Process

Line

The length measurement accuracy classification of the length reading by the

LS9000MID depends of the measurement results, with the largest tolerance

between the LS9000MID and a certified tape.




LaserSpeed 9000 MID Supplementary Information

The classification accuracy is determined using the following possible

accuracy classes, based on the initial results of the measurement error:

Class I ± 0.125%, Class II ± 0.25% and Class III ± 0.5%, as commissioned.

Please position the system as shown in the drawing below.

Place “As Commissioned” label here. Use 1 of 3 labels below to match results found following commissioning procedure.
