Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the difference between LMS500 and LMS100?
  LMS500 offers higher resolution, faster scan rates, and more interfaces.
• Q: Can I use this sensor outdoors?
  It is rated IP65 but designed for indoor use (0..+50°C operating temp).
• Q: How many echoes can the sensor process?
  It evaluates up to 5 echoes simultaneously for complex environments.
• Q: What is the maximum scan frequency?
  100 Hz with reduced angular resolution. Lower frequencies allow higher resolution.
• Q: Is the laser safe for human eyes?
  Yes, it is Laser Class 1 (eye-safe under all conditions).

Experience-based Q&A

• Q: The sensor does not detect dark objects well. What should I do?
  Use the echo filter or increase sensitivity. Dark objects may need reflectors.
• Q: How to configure multiple field sets?
  Use SOPAS software to define and assign up to 10 field sets.
• Q: The Ethernet connection fails. What should I check?
  Verify IP address settings and cable connection. Ensure network speed matches.

Selection Guide

• For high-speed AGV navigation, choose 100 Hz scan frequency.
• For detailed mapping, select 0.042° or 0.083° resolution.
• For multiple interface needs, Ethernet, CAN, and RS-232 are all available.
• For large area monitoring, 80 m range with 10 field sets is ideal.
• For harsh indoor environments, IP65 and IK07 provide robust protection.
