They measure ranges from 1 to 90 metres in natural targets with poor reflectivity (10%). If the reflectivity of the surface is between 40 to 90% the operating range is two to three times longer. With a reflector the operating range is up to 380 metres. The sensors are small and lightweight, and the airtight structure is meant to withstand outdoor use in varying temperatures. The sensor can be connected to a control system via RS-232 or RS-422 port and LAN or WLAN are the hardware options. In all cases one digital I/O-line, one digital output line and as an alternative to digital output optional analogue output are available. The supply voltage range is 10…30V. Sensors are usable as an accurate location or movement detector, a distance or a speed meter. They have several operation modes:          ASCII mode (setup and distance measurement) Binary modes (distance data in serial port in binary format) Trigger window mode (location detector) Movement triggering (movement detector) Speed measurement with one or two sensors Vehicle classification Capture mode (data collection into internal memory) Continuous speed measurement Synchronized binary measurement Full descriptions about modes can be found in CM Distance Sensors Configuration and API Guide as well as Speeder X1 and X2 Laser Radar Configuration and API Guide. 1.1 Fig. 3. CM5 CM5 Distance sensor ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 6/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ The optical distance meter with a narrow laser beam (1.9 mrad) is suitable for measuring small targets. This sensor is also considered for distance triggering and speed measurements with two sensors. CM5 is good choices for profile measurement applications. Thanks to the narrow beam, it enables to measure even little details of the profile shape. 1.2 Fig. 4. CMP51 CMP51 Distance sensor The measurement beam divergence of the CMP51 sensor is 6 mrad. It features longer measurement range than CMP52, and shorter than CM5. It’s suitable for measuring applications where wider than CM5 beam is necessary. 1.3 Fig. 5. CMP52 CMP52 Distance sensor The sensor with a wide laser beam (16 mrad) is suitable for measuring large targets and reflectors, and enables speed measurements using one sensor. All measurement functions are usable with each model. Hence, the selection of the sensor depends on the opto-mechanical requirements in the application. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 7/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1.4 Speeder X1 Speeder X1 has two laser beams with 11.8 mrad deviation. The beam widths are 18 mrad. The sensor is suitable especially for speed measurement of vehicles. The speed measurement accuracy is better than with one CMP51 or CMP52. Fig. 6. 1.5 Speeder X1 Distance sensor Basic connection The sensor is connected to a PC via a serial communication port using the accompanying cable in the package. The cable has a connector for the sensor at the one end and the other end is open wired. Connection is made as shown in the tables in Chapter 4. An adapter for RS232 to USB or RS422 to USB can be used. Furthermore an external power supply for the sensor is needed. See voltage values in Chapter 6. A triggering from the sensor could be used for external equipment (camera, other CM or CMP sensor, etc.). Measured distance is also available as voltage of 0 to 4 V from analogue output pin as a hardware option. Camera, etc. (option) Triggering (Digital Out) Serial Port Power Supply Fig. 7. Connection of the sensor to the computer. The camera is an option. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 8/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1.6 Measurement principle The sensor uses pulsed time-of-flight technology for distance measurement. In this technology short laser pulses are transmitted to the target and the reflected pulses are received into the receiver detection electronics. The time between the transmitted and received pulses is then calculated. The computing of time to distance is based on the constant speed of light. This principle allows very fast distance measurement with poorly reflecting targets. The pulsing rate can be up to 10 kHz depending on the sensor version. 1.7 Reference point and aiming beam Reference point Fig. 8. CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 reference point The reference point is in the rear edge of the black front panel. The calibration has been made in a 9-metre range to the target with reflectivity of 10%. Pointer beam (option): The pointer beam is directed parallel to the measurement beam. The pointer and the transmitter are placed on the opposite side of the front panel. The order of the optical parts and the differences between the centres of the measurement and pointer beams are presented in Fig. 9. D D: CM5 CMP51 CMP52 Speeder X1 Pointer Fig. 9.

The lens diameters and beam divergences of the sensors are: Sensor CM5 CMP51 CMP52 CMP52 focused (FB) Speeder X1 Receiver [mm] 30 20 19 19 19 Transmitter [mm] 30 19 8 8 12 Div. h x v [mrad] 1.9 x 0.03 6 x 0.08 16 x 16 15 x 2 18 x 12 The effective lens diameters are 1 to 2 mm smaller depending on the mechanical structure of the sensor. The laser beam divergences are presented in the form of horizontal x vertical in the table. The beam size can be calculated as follows: DB  D    DL where DB D  DL = Dimension of the beam (horizontal or vertical) = Distance to the target = Divergence of the beam = diameter of the lens For example the beam sizes of CM5, CMP51 and CMP52 are 85 x 29 mm, 200 x 19 mm and 490 x 490mm at a 30 m, respectively. The divergences of two beams of Speeder X1 are 18 x 0.24 mrad and the angle between the beams is 11.8 mrad. 2.2 Electronics The sensor consists of four main parts:  Controller electronics for distance calculation and user interface  Time to Digital Converter  Receiver and transmitter electronics Receiver Controller Time to Digital Converter Transmitter Fig. 10. Basic structure of electronics. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 10/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ The electronics is highly integrated and includes Noptel's own ASIC's (Application Specific Integrated Circuits) for time calculation and other internal operations. 2.3 Mechanical structure and casing The sensor has a very solid internal structure, and it withstands harsh environment conditions. The rear and front panels are connected by a special casing forming an airtight structure. The front panel includes lenses and rear panel airtight connector and a nitrogen valve. The sensor is nitrogen filled, allowing use in varying temperatures and environments. Do not open the cover or the valve in the rear panel. Opening them releases nitrogen and may cause moisture problems inside the sensor. The protecting class of the cable connector is IP65. In any case the cable should be mounted so that water does not flow directly to the connector. 2.4 Laser pointer (option) All models are available with a separate built-in laser pointer. It is aligned parallel with the transmitter beam. The laser pointer does not show the exact point of measurement, but a point in the area of measurement. It is intended to help the setting up of the sensor in fixed installations, but can also be used as a pointer in portable use. CAUTION ! The pointer is CLASS 3A laser product. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE! ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 11/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3 OPERATION The sensor has several operation modes. The mode is selected either in parameters or by a command via the serial interface. The commands and their operation are explained in CM Distance Sensors Configuration and API Guide as well as Speeder X1 and X2 Laser Radar Configuration and API Guide. 0 ASCII mode / Configuration Mode The sensor sends measurement results in ASCII format according to the user’s commands and parameter settings. In this mode the sensor receives commands such as parameter change and state control or operation mode selection. 1 Continuous ASCII mode The sensor sends measurement results in ASCII format continuously. 2 Continuous Binary mode The sensor sends measurement data in binary format according to parameter settings. 3 Binary mode, HW controlled The sensor sends measurement data in binary format according to parameter settings. The measurement is controlled by the trigger-input-line. 4 Binary mode, serial controlled The sensor sends measurement data in binary format according to parameter settings. The measurement is controlled by serial communication. 5 Trigger window mode The sensor controls the measurement results in the trigger window, and according to parameters it gives trigger-output-signal and sends trigger distance to serial port. In this mode the profile of the target can also be measured. 6 Speed measurement mode with two sensors The sensor works as the second sensor and waits for the trigger-input-signal from the first sensor. Having received the trigger signal, it waits its own trigger activation and calculates speed using parameter values. 7 Speed measurement mode with one sensor ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 12/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ The sensor waits for the target to be in the trigger window and then starts measuring the change of distance to the target in the selected window and calculates the speed. 8 Capture mode, HW controlled The sensor records 1000 samples into its memory having been activated by a trigger in line and after the recording sends the values in ASCII format to the serial line. 9 Capture mode, serial controlled The sensor records 1000 samples into its memory after activation via the serial communication line. Results are sent in ASCII format to the serial line. 10 Continuous speed mode In this mode the sensor gives speed values whenever it can detect movement in the measurement range. The target may move into any direction. The mode gives accurate speed values only if the shape of the target and the measurement geometry do not affect the measurement. 11 Size mode In this mode the sensor operates in the same way as in Mode 7, but the accurate speed algorithm is not used. The mode is used to get rough classification data from traffic. 12 Multilane speed measurement mode The mode is designed to be used at the side of the road on the level of vehicles. The mode provides the possibility to catch the speeds of vehicles travelling on more than one lane. 13 Movement trigger mode In this mode the sensor gives a trigger when distance to a target changes. For example the sensor can trigger to the opening of a door, but does not react to people passing between the sensor and the door. Synchronized binary mode: The feature requires a special firmware which is available on request. Sensors are connected to the chain and to the same RS422 serial line. Each sensor activates the next one to measure. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 13/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 4 CONNECTION The I/O connector (see Fig. 11) is used for user interface as communication, power, analogue out (option), and digital I/O. The serial interface variations are RS-232, RS422 or LAN and WLAN as hardware options. The connector is airtight. I/O Connector Fig. 11. Rear view of CM5.

Documentation of the modules are available from http://www.lantronix.com/support/downloads/ . ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 16/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 5 COMMUNICATION AND SOFTWARE The sensor uses RS-232 communication and one COM port in the PC. The main principle is that the sensor is part of the user's system and it is controlled by the user's program using commands presented in CM Distance Sensors Configuration and API Guide as well as Speeder X1 and X2 Laser Radar Configuration and API Guide. The sensor can be controlled with a suitable terminal program supporting COM ports. For example HyperTerminal in Windows, PC-Plus and similar ones can be used. Windows 95/98 as well as Win XP work normally well with COM ports. Win 2000 may however present some problems. You can also use one of Noptel’s software if they can be used in your computer. 5.1 CM Configuration Software CM Configuration Software is usable for configuring the sensor and testing the operation. Furthermore, it makes automatic setting of measurement window easier in triggering and speed measurement applications. The configuration can be stored to working or permanent memory of the sensor. Furthermore, storing into file and reading from file are possible. Software can be downloaded from http://www.noptel.fi 5.2 CM_Win.exe This Windows program is dedicated for simple graphical representation of the measurement results with the CM or CMP sensors. It may have some problems in Win2000 in the serial port handling. In Win 95/98 and XP it should work well. The program operates in both ASCII and Binary mode, and it was designed exclusively for experiment use. Software can be downloaded from http://www.noptel.fi PROGRAM MENUS: CM Win: The CM Win menu is dedicated for communication and measurement settings and event handling. The user is able to change COM port number, measuring interval, filtering and sounds for distance, speed, and acceleration. In the events table the user can set limits for measurement. If the measured distance is within these limits, the software will give a sound signal or run the program the user has selected. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 17/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Views: The Views menu is dedicated for selecting different display methods. Metre displays show the distance, speed, and acceleration, which also have their own chart displays. Reports: The Reports menu is dedicated for printing and saving session measurements. 5.3 HyperTerminal Hyper terminal (or other similar terminal software) can be used to see the measurement results in a ASCII form, to change parameter settings, to select operation mode, and to save the data. Follow the instructions of the software supplier. The connection works in all Windows systems, 95/98/2000/XP, etc. The user is able to control the sensor in HyperTerminal by defining the communication parameters according to sensor parameters and by selecting the used COM port in File/Properties. The connection is activated and deactivated by Call and Disconnect. Measurement data recording starts after defining the file name in Transfer/Capture text where recording can also be stopped. Definitions can be stored and later on recalled automatically. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 18/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 6 TYPICAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Distance range 1) Distance range 2) Beam divergence Linearity @3 - 30 m, R=10% Precision, single shot 3) Repeatability 4) Temperature drift Long term stability Operating temperature Supply voltage 8) Power consumption, 9) @ full speed Measuring rate 5) Wave Length Weight Protection 6) Size (H/L/W) Laser class 7) Interface RS-232 or RS-422 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) CM5 CMP51 CMP52 [m] 4 – 100 ER: 4 - 150 4 - 380 1.9 ± 50 5 - 20 1-5 10 10 -20 - +50 10 - 30.0 1 – 58 ER: 1 - 92 1 - 380 6.0 ± 50 5 - 20 1-5 10 10 -20 - +50 10 - 30.0 1 – 50 ER: 1 - 75 1 - 380 16 ± 50 5 - 20 1-5 10 10 -20 - +50 10 - 30.0 1 - 380 18 x 12 ± 50 5 - 20 1-5 10 10 -20 - +50 10 - 30.0 2.4 2.4 2.4 Up to 5 ER: 2 905 Up to 2 Nitrogen filled IP67 36x79x78 1 1 1 1 0…4 905 316 Nitrogen filled IP67 36x79x78 1 1 1 1 0…4 1 1 1 0…4 1 1 1 0…4 [m] [mrad] [mm] [mm] [mm] [mm] [mm] [°C] [V] [W] 2.4 [kHz] Up to 5 [nm] [g] [V] 905 364 Nitrogen filled IP67 36x135x78 1 1 1 1 0…4 Up to 5 ER: 2 905 333 Nitrogen filled IP67 36x93x78 1 1 1 1 0…4 [V] 1 1 1 0…4 1 1 1 0…4 [mm] 10) Digital Input Digital Output Analogue Output (option) LAN or WLAN (option) 11 Digital Input Digital Output Analogue Output (option) 1) Unit Speeder X1 2 - 75 Natural surface with 28% reflectivity (R).

Sunshine and rain protection The sensor has to be protected from direct sunshine and rain. Water on the lenses reduces the power of measuring signal. ESD protection An extra protection near the sensor is needed at outdoor assemblies. Storage When the system is not in use, it is recommended to keep the equipment in a safe place, protected from dust, moisture and mechanical shocks, or when it is not possible remove the sensors from their installation bases and keep them in their own protective covers. Cleaning the optical surfaces When starting measurement, it is recommended to clean the optical surfaces from dust and moisture, which might appear during transportation or storage. Handling The sensor includes optical parts, electronics, and precision mechanism. Handle the sensor with care, do not drop it on the ground, and avoid all unnecessary mechanical shocks to the sensor. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 24/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Connectors and cable The sensors have an electrical connector on the rear panel. The connector is of rugged type and weatherproof. Avoid dust and moisture penetrating into the connector and causing bad connection in the signal lines. It’s strongly recommended to turn the cable downwards as near to the sensor as possible so that trickle water doesn’t penetrate into the connector (see Fig. 14). Fig. 14. Recommendation of the cable curvature. ____________________________________________________________________________________ CM5, CMP51, CMP52 and Speeder X1 TECHNICAL MANUAL Page 25/28 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Limited Warranty The product has been thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment.
