Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Question: What is the maximum distance this sensor can measure?
  • Answer: 100 meters on “diamond grade” reflective tape.
• Question: Can I change the resolution after installation?
  • Answer: Yes, resolution is freely adjustable via software.
• Question: Is this sensor safe for human eyes?
  • Answer: Yes, it is Class 2 laser – safe for momentary exposure.
• Question: Does it work outdoors in bright sunlight?
  • Answer: Yes, it withstands up to 100,000 lx ambient light.
• Question: What outputs does it provide?
  • Answer: Two digital outputs for distance, speed, or warnings.

Selection Guide & Comparison

• Choose this model if: you need long range (100 m) with high accuracy (±2 mm).
• For shorter ranges: consider the DL50 series (up to 50 m).
• For analogue output: look at DL100‑21AA2211 (without PROFINET).
• Compare with similar models:
  • DL100‑21AA2211 – analogue output instead of PROFINET
  • DL100‑21AA2213 – with SSI interface
  • Dx50‑2 – shorter range, lower cost

Delivery & Warranty

• Shipping: 12‑24 hours dispatch via FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
• Warranty: 12 months against manufacturing defects.
• Package: single unit with mounting bracket.
