Monarch SLS-115/230 instruction manual Aiming the Laser, RS232

To change the setting, move the Polarity switch (5) to the left (positive pulse) for a white target or to the right (negative pulse) for a black target. Turn the Sensitivity Adjust knob (7) to Max. Press and hold the Learn/ Gain button (6) until the Auto/Gain LED (3) blinks.

8.0 AIMING THE LASER

The proper operation of the Laser Sensor is dependent upon the alignment to and reflectivity of the target. In order to aim the beam it is necessary to stand behind the sensor and view the target along the plane of the beam. Do not stare directly into the laser beam or the reflected light. For targets greater than 5 feet and up to 65 feet from the sensor, mount the laser on a tripod using the ¼ - 20 bushing on the bottom of the unit and attach T-5 reflective tape to the target.

To aid in locating the laser dot over a large distance, hold a piece of white cardboard or equivalent in front of the laser. Progressively move the white surface closer to the desired target. Then adjust the aim of the laser as necessary.

In areas of high ambient light (outdoors), performance can be enhanced at long distances by slipping a piece of black tube with a minimum inner diameter of 0.6 inches, over the nose piece to act as an extension nose piece. This tube should not deflect the beam in any way.

9.0 RS232

Baud rate = 9600, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

When the unit is turned on, it will send out: “SLS<lf><cr>Vx.x<lf><cr> 0.0<cr>”. Where <lf> is the linefeed character, <cr> is a carriage return character, and x.x is the firmware version number.

The unit will send out the current RPM as a right justified 7-digit ASCII number that will always include a decimal point followed by carriage return. The update rate is a function of the speed of the target and will not exceed twice per second.
