The OLM100 Hi leverages advanced optical technology to deliver accurate linear distance measurement over long ranges. It employs a red LED light source for reliable detection across varying environmental conditions. The sensor's resolution is configurable at either 0.1 mm or 1 mm, depending on application requirements and transfer protocol settings—resolution dependent on both set parameters and communication method. With a repeatability of 0.15 mm, it ensures consistent measurement accuracy over time. Output signals are delivered within 5 ms, enabling real-time feedback in dynamic processes. The sensor is designed with reverse-polarity protection and operates reliably under ambient light levels up to 9,000 lux (typical value at +25 °C), ensuring stable performance even in moderately lit environments.
The OLM100 Hi offers a measuring range of 0 m to 10,000 m. Resolution is selectable between 0.1 mm and 1 mm, with technical details dependent on the set resolution and transfer protocol. Repeatability is specified at 0.15 mm. The output time is 5 ms. The light source is a red LED. Supply voltage ranges from DC 10 V to 30 V, with ripple limited to ≤ 5 V pp. The unit weight is 0.220 kilograms (net: 0.22 kg). Protection class is III. Ambient temperature during operation ranges from –30 °C to +60 °C; storage conditions extend from –40 °C to +75 °C. Maximum humidity during operation is 95 %, non-condensing. Typical ambient light immunity is ≤ 9,000 lx at a standard ambient temperature of +25 °C.
The OLM100 Hi integrates seamlessly into industrial automation systems through standard digital interfaces. Resolution settings (0.1 mm or 1 mm) can be configured based on application needs and the selected transfer protocol, with resolution dependent on both setting and communication method. The sensor provides a fast output time of 5 ms, enabling real-time data acquisition in control loops. It is compatible with various industrial protocols for signal transmission, allowing flexible integration into PLCs or SCADA systems. Reverse-polarity protection ensures safe operation even under unexpected electrical conditions. No additional hardware or calibration is required for standard use, simplifying deployment and reducing setup time.
The OLM100 Hi operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from –30 °C to +60 °C. It can be stored at temperatures as low as –40 °C and up to +75 °C, ensuring suitability for extreme environments. Maximum operating humidity is 95 %, under non-condensing conditions. The sensor demonstrates typical performance immunity to ambient light levels of ≤ 9,000 lx at a standard ambient temperature of +25 °C. It is rated IP65, providing complete dust protection and resistance to water splashes from any direction. Operation below –20 °C requires a minimum 5-minute warm-up period for stable performance. These environmental specifications ensure reliable operation in outdoor or industrial settings with fluctuating conditions.
