Further information see section 9.2 “Error displays of the indicator lights” on page 97.
7segment display
Used for diagnostics on occurring errors or malfunctions (see section 9.3 “Indications of the
7-segment display” on page 98).
3.7 Operating principle of the LMS5xx
The LMS5xx is a non-contact laser measurement sensor that scans the surrounding
perimeter radially on a single plane using pulses of light. The LMS5xx measures in two-
dimensional radial coordinates. If a laser beam emitted is reflected from a target object,
then the position of the object is given in the form of distance and angle. The LMS5xx can-
not see through objects during this process.
Fig. 5: Measuring principle of the LMS5xx
Scanning takes place in a sector of 190°. The scanning range of the LMS5xx is maximum
80 m on light, natural surfaces with an object remission > 100% (e.g. a white house wall).
See also section 10.2 “Operating range diagrams” on page 106.
