INTRODUCTION
The LM200 LASERMETER is a laser-based distance measuring instrument used in process control systems. The
on-board microprocessor calculates distance by multiplying the speed of light by the time it takes for a laser pulse to
travel from the instrument to a target and back.
The measuring laser uses invisible, infrared light. There is a second, visible aiming laser to help with the alignment
of the measuring laser. The laser beams have very little divergence so that accurate targeting is easy even in silos
or vessels that have internal structures.
Easy measurement in silos with internal structure.

INSTALLATION
4.1
General information
The LM200 LASERMETER is an optical, line of sight device that is used for non-contact distance measurement.
There must be no obstacles directly in the beam path.
The LM200 LASERMETER measures in engineering units (feet or meters) so there is no need for calibration prior to
installation. The instrument can simply be aimed directly towards an object and it will measure the real physical
distance from its face. Any special settings required by the user may be loaded into the device inside the work area
or workshop prior to mounting the LM200 LASERMETER outside.
4.2
Unpacking
The product is supplied in a cardboard container with internal shock absorbing packaging. Always transport the
instrument in the packaging supplied to reduce the chance of damage.
4.3

Do not install or connect with the power on.
Do not open the instrument compartment or expose the internal electronics to water or dirt.
Ensure that the cable glands are tight after connecting the external cable.
Ensure that the lid to the terminal compartment is tight after connections have been made.
Do not point the instrument at the sun.
Do not point laser or allow laser light to be directed or reflected toward other people.
Do not open or modify the instrument.
Store in a cool dry place.
4.4
Dusty Conditions
In dusty conditions, it is recommended that a Dust Tube be installed (accessory TUB4S).
The Dust Tubes (TUB4S) is a very simple and effective device, designed to prevent dust settling on the lens. The
LM200 LASERMETER can be used in most dust-present applications by using the Dust Tube accessory. However,
if the dust level is very high, then using the air purge on the Dust Tube is recommended.
The Dust Tubes (TUB4S) are equipped with 2 purge port 1/8‖ FNPT. Air is blown into the dust tube to create air flow
inside of the dust tube and in front of the lens. The
4X Mounting Holes
recommended flow rate is 10ft³ / hr (1m³ / hr) the
recommended air pressure is 3 psi to 5 psi. Using
air purge is recommended in very dusty
applications. Clean and dry

4.5
Alignment
The LM200 LASERMETER is simple to install and align. It has a narrow and direct beam so there is no interference
from nearby objects. The main consideration required when aligning the instrument is a clear line of sight.
The LM200 LASERMETER will measure off a surface that is rough or is at an oblique angle to the beam. There is
no need to align the instrument perpendicular to the material as it will not be affected by the cone up or down of the
material. However, for liquid applications, mount the laser perpendicular as far as possible to the surface.
4.6
Environmental
The LM200 LASERMETER should be installed in an area that is within the specified temperature range, taking into
consideration the enclosure ratings and the materials of construction. When installed, the LM200 LASERMETER
should be accessible for programming if necessary.
NOTE: While the initial (cold start) accuracy of the LM200
LASERMETER is likely to be within specfication, a settling period
of approximately 15 minutes may be required to allow the the
electronic components to fully warm up and the internal
temperature to stabilize.

Grounding
It is recommended to use a AWG 16 or 1.5 mm² wire for ground connection. For best
results, K-TEK recommends using a size 10 ground lug with a copper body terminal per
ASTM B-152, a tin plating per MIL-T-10727, and a manufacturer AMP port No. 34112 or
No. 34109. The ground wire terminated with the recommended ground lug must be
connected to the designated terminal for this purpose. The ground screw is painted green,
and its size is 832/32x14.
Ground Screw
(Green)
4.10
Cables, Wiring and Routing
Always use shielded cables for power supply and signal. It is recommended to use a AWG14 or 2.5 mm² copper
wire for AC input circuit. For a 4-20mA interface, use a twisted pair shielded cable 14—20 AWG. Do not install a
LM200 LASERMETER or route the signal cables in close vicinity to high voltage electrical cables.
The recommended torque on terminal clamping screws is 0.6Nm. All field wiring must have insulation suitable for at
least 250V.

7.
MOUNTING
The LM200 LASERMETER produces a narrow, straight laser beam. It should be mounted facing directly towards the
area to be measured with no obstacles directly in the beam path. When aiming over a long range or to a reflective
target the built-in aiming laser is a useful alignment tool. Ensure that the visible aiming laser is in the center of the
target at all operating distances.
The LM200 LASERMETER has four mounting holes on the front face. The instrument can be bolted directly onto a
flange or bracket. In applications where dust may be present (even in very small quantities) it is recommended that a
―dust tube‖ accessory such as the TUB4S be used.
CAUTION: Avoid mounting the instrument close to a stream of material that may fall in front of it. Avoid aiming the
instrument down long narrow pipes that have rough inner walls. Ensure that the instrument never points directly at or
near the sun. Check the operation over the full range of conditions to be measured after installing.
NOTE: The LM200 LASERMETER may receive stronger signals in subdued lighting and dark conditions than it does
in direct sunlight.

LM200 LASERMETER MENUS AND PROGRAM OPTIONS
14.1
Menu Structure for PC, Laptop or Palm
After the Hyperterminal on the PC or Laptop has been correctly set up according to paragraph 9.1, the
communication cable should be connected between the selected COM port (COM1 or COM2, etc) and the
instrument. Switch on power to the instrument and the instrument will start running. The distance in selected units
(feet or meters) and the output in mA will update on the screen in scrolling fashion.
After displaying the software and firmware revisions the instrument goes through an initialization sequence. It will
then print out distance and mA on a continuously scrolling screen.
4-20 mA Readout
4-20 mA readout is the numerical presentation of
the mA value on the 4-20 mA interface for the
corresponding distance
Distance
The displayed numbers represent the distance from the LM200
LASERMETER face (the flange surface) to the object at which the
invisible beam is pointed. The distance is displayed in selectable units
(feet or meters).
