This manual is a description of the Selcom Laser Sensor (SLS) family. The
sensors have laser classification 2, 3R or 3B. Read chapter Laser Safety

This sensor is intended for use in applications where distance, thickness or level is
to be measured. The ambient temperature surrounding the sensor should be 0°C to

modified without permission, warranty is voided.
Caution- Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
