S80 Laser Distance Sensor

The S80 series, in a compact sturdy metal housing, offers an innovative class 2 laser distance sensor with time-of-flight measurement. This technology, based on the measurement of the time between the emission and receipt of the laser light pulses, ensures accurate distance detection.
The sensors function from 0.3 to 7m, within an adjustable range, in positioning or detection applications, such as double-threshold background suppression over long distances.
All models have two outputs, available in both the NPN and PNP models, that can be set at different distances. While the measurement value is a 4-20mA analog output and RS485 serial interface; the latter can be also used to set all the sensor parameters.
In addition, the S80 series offers the option to adjust the 4-20 mA analog output. This feature allows the minimum and maximum values of the operating distance to be set and linked to the minimum and maximum current.
A 4-digit display shows the distance, as well as the parameters that can be set using the three buttons.

Common Applications

• High precision and speed
• Measurement range adjustable to 7m
• 4-digit display and RS485 serial interface
