 Indoor housing with protection class IP 65
 Optimized for usage in object protection systems
 2 additionally digitale switching inputs
 Relay switching outputs
 Digital sabotage output
LMS13x
LMS182
Like LMS12x, however
 Outdoor housing with protection class IP 67
LMS14x Like LMS12x, however
 Scanning range up to 30 m with > 10 % object remission
 Outdoor housing with protection class IP 67

LMS14x Core: the device sends the measured contour values via RS-232/Ethernet only with low refresh rate. The 
data can only be used for visualization and configuration on the PC.
LMS15x Like LMS11x, however
 Scanning range up to 50 m with > 75  % object remission (18 m with 10 % object remission)
