LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Introduction Introduction This manual describes the installation and setup of the LaserSpeed 8000 gauge. For daily routine usage, see the LaserSpeed 8000 Operator Guide. The Model LS8000-3 LaserSpeed® Non-contact Length and Speed gauge is an industrial, Laser-Doppler based instrument that measures the velocity and length of material. Due to the nature of the laser-based measurement, there is no physical contact with the material.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Installing the System This section describes mounting, alignment and other installation concerns for the LS8000-3. The installation can be broken down into five steps: Mounting the gauge Aligning the gauge Connecting power to the gauge Connecting to the outputs Maximizing gauge performance Mounting the Gauge The LS8000-3 must be placed at the correct standoff distance from the moving material.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Mounting Distance When the material is within the depth of field, the gauge makes 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.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System 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. Air Wipe / Quick Change Window To prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from accumulating on the optical window the gauge can be fitted with an Air Wipe/Quick Change Window.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System 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.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Twinner Lines When mounting the gauge on a twinner line, the gauge should be positioned far enough from the twinner that the twist is set. If the gauge is placed close to the twinner, it may not be able to measure due to excessive vibration and the spin imparted on the wire due to the twisting motion. Moving the gauge down the line farther from the twinner may improve the gauge's ability to make measurements.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Aligning the Gauge Once the gauge is mounted at the proper standoff distance, the critical alignment angles need to be checked. To obtain accurate results, the LS80003 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.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Gauge Orientation The LaserSpeed gauge must be mounted such that the material to be measured moves in a direction parallel to the bottom of the LS8000-3, as shown below.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Connecting Power to the Gauge The gauge requires a 20–28 VDC (nominal 24 VDC) supply to be connected to Pin 24 and/or Pin 25 with the corresponding ground to Pin 12 and/or Pin 13 of the 25-pin D-sub connector. The supply should be able to drive at least 2 Amps. For detailed information on supplying power to the gauge, see Appendix D. Notes: Do not attach wires to the gauge while power is applied. Make all wiring connections with power turned off.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Connecting to Outputs On the LS8000-3 model, the outputs of the gauge are contained on the 9-pin and 25-pin D-sub connectors, and the M12 D-Coded Ethernet connector. On the LS8000-3E and LS8000-3X, all outputs are contained on a 39-pin circular connector. Their pin values are shown in the following tables. Each signal is explained in detail in the Interfacing with the LS8000-3 section.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Maximizing Performance 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 that the laser interlock and shutter control circuits are functioning properly. When Pin 16 is connected to GND (Pin 11, 19, or 21), the laser becomes operational. When Pin 17 is connected to GND (Pin 11, 19, or 21), the shutter will open.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Alternatively, the analog port can be configured to output QF on a 0–1 V scale. The QF can then be monitored by connecting a panel meter to the analog output and displaying the voltage. A third method of monitoring the Quality Factor is to reassign one of the pulse outputs to output the Quality Factor as a frequency output. To ensure quality measurements, the laser beams must maintain “contact” with the product.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Installing the System Starting/Ending Length Correction The Validation Time Limit feature is used because the Material Present signal tells the gauge that material is indeed moving through the measurement zone. If valid velocity measurements cannot be made, then a small amount of length will not be accumulated which, in turn, will cause a length error.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Interfacing with the LS8000-3 The LS8000-3 has a variety of outputs that allow length and velocity data to be transmitted to external devices or control algorithms. All of these signals are located on the connector(s) on the back of the instrument.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 DB25 Connector The 25-pin interface port contains pins which deliver the quadrature pulse outputs, RS-232 serial communications, safety interlock signals, and the 24 V supply required to power the gauge. Several inputs are available for operation of the instrument. The connector is a standard 25-Pin male D-Sub connector. The connector is shown below looking at the gauge's rear panel with the gauge base plate down.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 RS-232 Transmit and Receive (Pins 1-2) The LS8000-3 has an RS-232 serial port which can be used to receive measurement data, or to configure settings. The LS8000-3 will connect to any DB9 RS-232 port with a straight-through cable. A null modem is not required.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 High Speed Pulse Output (Pins 3, 5, 7, 9) This quadrature pulse output is a high-speed RS-422 drive output with an output rate up to 5MHz. This pulse output uses an RS-422 transceiver to generate its output signals, and so should be connected to an RS-422 transceiver on the receiving end. These pulse outputs can be connected to a PLC high speed counter card for fine length resolution and high-speed velocity measurement.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 User Scaleable Pulse Output (Pins 15, 4, 6, 8) This pulse output is a user-defined 5-24V voltage output with output rates up to 250 kHz. The output voltage is derived from the User VIN input. The pulse outputs are opto-isolated signals with a voltage level determined by the voltage supplied on Pin 20 (referenced to User-Ground (pin 11, 19, or 21.) An isolated TTL level signal (3.7-5V) will be supplied if no external voltage is connected.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Because the opto-isolator in the circuit has a relatively slow response time compared with the LaserSpeed's maximum pulse output frequency, when using this circuit, keep the LaserSpeed's pulse output frequency below 20kHz. Quadrature Output Phase Relationships The phase relationship of the quadrature outputs is determined by the direction of the measured velocity.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Typical Full Quadrature Pulse Train with Negative Velocity Note: If excessive or erratic counts are noticed, the main cause is usually improper termination of the pulse signals. It is recommended you look at the signals (while connected to the external counter) with an oscilloscope to determine if excessive ringing or rounding of the pulse train is present.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Quadrature Outputs at Extremely Low Pulse Frequencies Note: This section only applies to the pulse outputs—the length and speed available over the RS-232, RS-422, and Ethernet ports are not affected. Pulse Frequency Error Envelope / |%| The LS8000-3 uses a DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) circuit to generate the quadrature outputs.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Material Present Input (Pin 10) This is an optically isolated input that can be used to externally control the Material Present feature of the LS8000-3. The input requires a voltage high (5 to 24V) to activate. The input level should be the same as the voltage connected to the User VIN input (Pin 20) or 5V if there is nothing connected to the User VIN input.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Example 1: You are using an external make/break optical switch to begin and end the measurement. The optical gauge has a smaller spot size than the LS8000-3, so it will more exactly detect the edge of the product. When the part enters the measurement area the switch outputs a Low (0V) signal, and when there is a part in the measurement area, the switch outputs a High (24V) signal.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Connecting Material Present Switches This section shows how to connect a commonly used Material Present detector. Single Switch Configuration The D10 is a make/break optical switch. When connecting one optical switch, it should be aligned with the LS8000-3's measurement spot. This configuration can be used in order to more precisely detect the edge of the material.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 When the product enters the measurement area and triggers the switch, the Material Present signal should activate. This causes the LS8000-3 to start counting length at 0. When the product leaves the measurement area and the Material Present signal deactivates, the LS8000-3 will calculate the final length and the measurement is complete. If in Final Length mode, the LS8000-3 will transmit the Final Length over the serial/Ethernet ports.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Signal Grounds (Pins 11, 19, 21) Multiple ground inputs have been supplied for the pulse outputs (High Speed, User Scaleable, and Index) to provide good references for cabling. Additionally, two power input pins (24 and 25, 24 VDC) and power input ground pins (12 and 13) have been provided for cabling ease. The Signal Grounds (pins 11, 19, and 21) are internally isolated from the Power Ground (pins 12, 13).

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Measurement Direction Input (Pin 14) This is an optically isolated input that can be used to externally control the Measurement Direction feature of the LS8000-3. The input requires a voltage high (5 to 24V) to activate. The input level should be the same as the voltage connected to the User VIN input (Pin 20) or 5V if there is nothing connected to the User VIN input.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Laser Interlock (Pin 16) The Laser Interlock input will switch off the laser power when the connection to ground is broken. This is commonly used with external switches for laser safety. When the interlock pin is connected to ground, the laser is operational. When the interlock circuit is opened (break the connection to ground), power to the laser is switched off. The power to the rest of the LS8000-3 is not affected.
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Shutter Control (Pin 17) All Class 3B laser products are required to have a shutter to terminate the laser beams before exiting the product. The LS8000-3 uses a spring-loaded rotary solenoid as a laser shutter. The spring-loaded action ensures that when power is not applied to the shutter circuit, the shutter remains closed. Note: To open the shutter, connect the shutter control pin (Pin 17) to ground (Pin 11, 19, or 21).
LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Length Reset Input Circuit The Length Reset Input Action configuration setting affects how this input resets the length. The input can be configured to reset the length on level and edges. See the Length Reset Input Action command description in the Configuration Settings section for details.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Index (Printer) Pulse Output (Pins 22-23) Also referred to as a Once-Per-Rev (OPR) pulse, this output can be configured to output pulses at specified length intervals. This output can be used to control a cutter or a printer. For example, if you use LaserTrak to set the “Index Pulse Every X m” setting to 10m, the gauge would output a single pulse every 10m of product movement.

LaserSpeed 8000-3 Instruction Handbook Interfacing with the LS8000-3 Analog speed data can be obtained in a 0–2 V format. An optional selectable voltage/current output module which will convert the 0–2 V signal supplied by the gauge to all of the common voltage/current levels is available. The analog output indicates speed but not direction. There are two configuration settings that affect the operation of the analog output. The Analog Zero Scale Velocity sets the speed where the analog output reaches 0V.
