Integrated Laser Module (ILM-35-XX/-150-XX/-500-XX)
MDLs range of OEM Integrated Laser Modules (ILM) utilise invisible, eye-safe, pulse time-offlight technology to provide users with high-speed distance, contactless, speed or height
information to static or moving passive targets. Data rates from 2 Hz to 1000 Hz are available
with a range of electrical and data outputs to suit most applications. These laser measuring
modules have been specifically designed for additional integration, each giving a reflectorless
range up to 35 metre (115 ft), 150 metre (492 ft) and 500 metre (1640 ft) for the ILM-35, ILM150 and ILM-500 units respectively.
Figure 1: ILM-35 (-150)-XX / 500-XX unit images

The Integrated Laser Module (ILM) portfolio of products, as shown in Figure 1, is designed as
OEM modules for range (distance), trigger or speed measurements to passive targets. The use
of reflective targets at short ranges (< 50 m), such as survey prism, cube-corner or retro-reflective
foil, should be avoided.
All laser modules operate using a technique called time-of-flight technology, which put simply,
measures the time taken for a very short pulse of infrared laser light to travel from one
(transmit) window from the module to a target and back to a very low noise detector located
behind the second window (receive). The amount of light which is returned is not important!
Sometimes of course no light (or not enough) returns and the laser shall output a reading to
indicate no range. There are two general reasons for a no range indication, namely
1
That the module times out as it waits for a return light signal. Each module has an
internal reset feature which causes the internal timer to reset and not wait any
longer for the return reflection. This is larger than the distance for which the
module is designed to operate to passive targets. There is a limit to the size of the
number that a single counter can register, before it rolls over. Some of our modules
have dual counters that mean they wait longer before resetting.
Not enough light was returned in the time allowed. This is resultant of a very low
target reflectivity or the size of the target being too small or the surface being too
reflective and deflecting the laser pulse away from the laser detector. As any laser
beam propagates, it diverges. Many factors define how much each beam diverges.
However, as it does the density of the light that reaches the target shall be reduced
hence a small target at a longer distance will not reflect as much light, in particular,
if the target is smaller than the beam diameter.
Doc No: IM-018
Iss: 1
Page 8 of 32
The factors that define how well a module will work therefore depend upon the size of the
target, the conditions of the environment and the general reflectivity of the target material. It
is not possible to give a definitive guide as to the range of a module; hence the numbers that
are defined are to be used as a guide as to their typical performance and can be used to help
with their initial selection for comparison. For example, the ILM-150-R/-D/-T/-S laser module
will work to a 2.5 m x 0.4 m Kodak 90% reflective white card target to a minimum 150 m
distance (reflectorless range). If the target is more reflective, then the range shall increase
however should the target be less reflective then the range shall decrease. The current
datasheet and technical specification in this manual details the maximum range of the unit to
both reflectorless and reflective targets.
The laser pulse rate, i.e. the number of distance measurements recorded per second, of the
various modules shall vary dependent on the version of product purchased and the mode of
operation for that module and where programming software has been purchased, this can be
varied within set limits.
Each module does its own calculation internally before it outputs the data in the format
selected.
All of the laser modules have a serial data output (RS232) to communicate with a suitable PC or
controller. In addition they have a digital output which can be used as an event trigger if
needed.
Note it is also possible for the laser to receive more than 1 pulse back from the target! For
instance, if the module is directed to fire through a window to a tree with a building behind it,
it is very possible that the module would receive a reflected pulse returned from the window
glass, from the branches of the tree and from the building behind. Which is the correct
distance that we are measuring to? The first pulse is from the glass window, the last pulse is
from the building. It is possible to have both distances output from the laser by requesting first
or last pulse, or even both pulses.
It is important that the instrument temperature should lie between -10oC and +60oC when the
instrument is switched on. The ILM portfolio of products is designed to be water resistant to
IP67.
The ILM makes use of sensitive optical, electronic and mechanical components and requires
appropriate handling. Do not use paint solvents to clean the instrument. Customers may use
HPLC-grade (>99.8%) iso-propyl-alcohol (propan-2-ol) in combination with lint-free cottonwool buds or wipes to clean the lenses and optional red alignment laser window of the laser
module. The user may apply a mild detergent using a cloth to clean the metalwork.
Repeated exposure to iso-propyl-alcohol may cause skin dryness or
cracking. It is recommended that personal protective equipment (PPE) is
used when dispensing and using HPLC-grade acetone, such as eye-shields
and/or face-shields with protective gloves.
Operators should remember that direct sunlight or a similarly intensely radiating source of light
looking directly into the instrument lenses must be avoided. The focusing effect of the optics
inside such devices can create a highly concentrated point image with enough energy density
Doc No: IM-018

to damage the detector inside the unit. Simple shades or suitable external protection can be
used to solve this potential problem and mounting at a suitable angle etc.
Never apply force or shock to the lenses or to the housing of the instrument. As with other
optical instruments, the ILM should be protected from being shaken, knocked or dropped.

ILM Operation / Data Format
When power is applied, the laser module shall undergo a start-up routine and then commence
to take range (speed or trigger) measurements and output range (speed or trigger) data at a
standard maximum rate of 1000 Hz, or a lower frequency that is customer-set. A
measurement consists of a number of laser pulses, the received signal from the pulses is
processed and the corresponding range data is transmitted via serial communications that
requires RS232 data connection. RS232 serial communications is available on most computers
either directly or via a USB adapter interface.
To view ASCII output data or communicate with the laser (to change some settings for
example) you need a Terminal Emulator or the Hyper Terminal program which is included in
the WindowsTM Operating system.
Go through the following set of links:
START -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> Hyper Terminal
Enter a name for your new connection and press OK.
The next window that appears may have some telephone numbers in some of the boxes that
are on the screen. Ignore these values as they are not required. However the bottom box
which has the title Connect Using, has a drop down menu available that requires to be set to
the COM port that the ILM is connected to. If this is directly to the computer, it is likely to be
COM1, whereas if a USB to serial converter is being used then it is likely to be higher. All
available COM ports on the computer are listed in the drop down list that appears.
The next window to appear is the COM Properties Port Settings window, as illustrated in Figure
2.

The Baud rate (Bits per second drop-down menu) for which the ILM is configured must be

nominal, standard setting is either 9600 or 38400 dependent upon the firing frequency and
sampling criteria for the specific ILM purchased, however the designated value could be any of
the available options in the list in some cases (customer specific).
The remaining boxes in this window need to show 8 (Data bits), None (Parity), 1 (Stop bit),
None (Flow control) as the list section is completed. Select OK.
If any data is being output by the laser, then it will now be displayed in the remaining window.
If this data is not readable, then it is either a binary output (see end of this section for
decoding) or the incorrect parameters (baud rate) has been selected.
To change the baud rate (go back to the window shown above). First go to the Call menu and
select Disconnect. Then go to the File menu and select Properties (you can change the COM
port number at this point if an incorrect COM Port has been previously connected, or wish to
try another). Click the configure button and the previous window shall appear again. Once the
settings have changed, click OK, then OK and re-use the Call menu and select Call
Whilst MDL are happy to work with OEM customers to develop individual laser modules, MDL
have introduced a Laser Programmers Kit (LPK) Software package that allows customers to
program any number of lasers with a huge variety of options (see section on Software for more
details).
For simplicity, MDL have four standard module configurations, namely low and high-speed
range (measurement, -R, -D), speed (-S) and trigger (-T), which may be purchased as standalone units for those customers that do not require the flexibility to make changes to the
standard versions.
ILM-XXX-R:
This module measures distance (range) and has an output of nominally 9 Hz if left in a free
running mode. The output data is in ASCII text format and so is very easy to display directly on
a PC or a hand held PDA via a communications window such as Windows Hyper Terminal.
This module type is used where distance (range) measurements are required and the target or
the object containing the module is not moving at high speed. The principle is that the output
data from the module is a combined average of a small number of pulses which increases the
accuracy of the range measurement being made.
When power is applied to the laser it shall go through a short start-up routine and then begin
to make distance (range) measurements and output range data. A range measurement
consists of a number of laser pulses, the received signal from the pulses is processed and the
corresponding range data is sent out in serial RS232 format.
The range data is sent in ASCII format at 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The range data
string consists of 10 characters including carriage return, an example of which is specified
below:
00026.56m<cr>
Doc No: IM-018
Iss: 1
Page 12 of 32
No range detected would be displayed as 99999.99m<cr>

No range is termed as no hits and sometimes this has special consideration depending on
what the application is. It is also possible to request units that have the output in units of feet
as opposed to metres.
The range reference point is the rear most mounting hole, which is 40 mm (ILM-35-XX; ILM150-XX) and 43 mm (ILM-500-XX) back from the module front face (see mounting diagram)
respectively.
ILM-XXX-D:
This module measures distance (range) and has a data output nominally between 200 - 1000
Hz if left in a free running mode. Output data may be available in ASCII text format and so very
easy to display directly on a PC or a hand held PDA via a communications window such as
Windows Hyper Terminal, or available in Binary to reduce the flow of data needed. The
specific data communications protocol is dependent upon the overall data rate of the
customer-defined unit.
This module type is used where distance (range) measurements are required and the target or
the object containing the module is moving at high speed. The principle is that the output data
from the module is either single-shot or the combined average of a small number of pulses
which increases the accuracy of the range measurement being made. All other considerations
are equivalent to the ILM-XXX-R module.
ILM-XXX-S: This module is designed to measure speed. In simplistic terms it does this by
making a distance measurement to the target, waits for a short time and then makes a
secondary distance measurement. The change in the distance is used to calculate the speed
that the target is moving, relative to the ILM itself. The output is in ASCII text and so is easy to
display directly on a PC or hand held PDA. The module outputs its data each time it detects a
movement with the corresponding distance to the target. The ILM-XXX-S device may also
output ranges if requested without any speed data.
When power is applied to the laser it will go through a short start-up routine and then start to
take range measurements and output speed and range data. A measurement consists of a
number of laser pulses, the received signal from the pulses is processed and the corresponding
speed and range data are sent out in serial RS232 format.
The speed and range data are nominally specified in metric units, however imperial units are
available if requested. The speed and range data is sent in a serial ASCII format data string as
exampled below:
044.99kph,0010.46m<cr><lf>
Such a data string, in metric units, would represent a speed of 44.99 kilometres per hour and a
range of 10.46 meters. Note the following:
1
Upon pressing R shall induce the ILM-XXX-S to output only the current range in
metric units. In this case the data format would defer to the following:
0kph,0010.46m<cr><lf>
Doc No: IM-018
Iss: 1
Page 13 of 32
Upon pressing R for a second time reverts the ILM-XXX-S back to speed
measurement, hence acting as a toggle
ILM-XXX-T: This module also has a data output between 200 - 1000 Hz (unless specified
otherwise). The higher data rate means that the output has to be in Binary to reduce the flow
of data needed. MDL has proprietary software to convert the binary numbers so that they are
easier to understand on a PC screen particularly when trying to align the modules during
installation. This software is included upon the CD supplied with the ILM-XXX-T or can be
obtained from MDL directly.
This module has two main features. The first is a standard high output data rate which is
preferred for faster moving objects. The second feature is the additional trigger output which,
alongside the RS232 communication line, provides an output pulse via a separate additional
contact (identified in the previous section as the Orange wire with an additional resistor
needed). The range window(s) that the trigger is set is completely customer-defined.
In greater detail, the trigger state of the ILM-XXX-T shall change dependent upon the range
currently being measured with reference to one or two window value limits. The unit is given
four (4) range values, all of which are input in cm via the serial communication port. Pressing T
will force the laser to present the current values and to ask for a new T1? Should the operator
enter a value of 100 and press <Enter> then they will have entered a window minimum limit of
1 metre for this value. The values for the remaining three window limit numbers (T2, T3 and
T4) must be continuously increasing, for example 200, 400 and 500 respectively.
If using the dual window setup, the ILM-XXX-T trigger will output a low state when the range
measured is between 1 metre and 2 metres or 4 metres and 5 metres. The active windows can
be changed at any time. The ILM-xxx-T unit requires to be turned off and on again to start
using any new values.
If using a single window, the ILM-XXX-T unit shall ignore the T2 and T3 values and only change
the trigger state of the units digital output if the current range value lies between T1 and T4.
The main uses of this feature are for event triggering such as cameras when objects are at a
fixed distance away (vehicle photographing in speeding and red light enforcement applications)
or for overheight applications.
When power is applied to the laser it will go through a start-up routine and then begin to take
range measurements at a rate of 1000 Hz (unless specified otherwise).
Commands to control the module are limited without the MDL programming software, but by
pressing H the operator will receive a full list of available dynamic commands which are
available. Not all dynamic commands function in each running mode!
If the range data command (E) is activated, the ILM-XXX-T unit starts to output range data.
This is a toggle function which starts and stops the process with the same command. In this
case a range measurement consists of a single laser pulse, the received signal from this pulse is
processed and the corresponding range data is sent out in serial RS232 format.

The range data is sent in two (8 bit) bytes as an encoded 12 bit binary word to represent the
range data in decimetres, dm. The first byte contains the 6 MSBs and the second byte
contains the 6 LSBs of the word. The most significant bits are set to 10 for the most
significant byte and to 00 for the least significant byte.

In addition to the range output, it is also possible to have a secondary output such as a pulse
counter or the absolute value of the signal strength which is being returned to the laser from
the target. If either of these options are turned on, then in addition to the coded range
information, two more bytes will follow each range output and these are encoded in the same
way as detailed below.
If the signal data is activated, the laser module starts to output the Signal Strength. The values
of the signal strength are coded on a non-linear 0 to 4096 scale. If the pulse counter is in
operation, then this number will cycle through from 0 to 4095.
The signal strength data is sent in two (8 bit) bytes as a 12 bit binary word. The first byte
contains the 6 MSBs and the second byte contains the 6 LSBs of the word of the signal
strength. The most significant bits are set to 11 for the most significant byte and to a 01 for
the least significant byte.

Note: Since the maximum range that can be expressed in this two byte binary format is 409.6
m. The ILM-500 therefore needs to be switched to 115200 baud and ASCII output for longer
ranges.
Binary Decoder Software:
If the output is in Binary format, MDL can supply a converter program that converts the range
data coming from the laser module(s) into ASCII text. This software program, called
IM_Display.exe, does not need to be installed it is a self-running exe file that can be copied
anywhere onto the controlling PC. It is only intended to act as a temporary solution for testing
the modules or for demo purposes until the end users own application is complete.
Press F2 to bring up the settings screen of the program. Select the COM port number and the
baud rate. Then select the appropriate radio button so identify the format. This will normally
be HR for two byte output or HR c/w signal strength for 4 byte output format.
Now press F5 to start the program and if the laser is outputting data, it will be converted and
displayed in ASCII decimetres (dm).

ILM Electrical Connections RS232
All of the modules are supplied as standard with a 2 metre long power/data cable. At the
output end of this cable is a 9-pin, D-type connector and 3 short wires. The D-type connector is
used for the serial RS232 data output which is common to all ILM-type devices. The D-type
connector pin definition is described by:
Pin 2 transmits data from the laser to the external interface.

Pin 3 returns data into the laser.
Pin 5 is common Ground.
No other pins in the D-type connector are connected. The three short wires are coded as
follows:
Black wire is connected to Pin 5 on the D-type and forms the common ground
to the system. This is where ground is input (0 volts) to the system from the
customers external low voltage power supply.
Red wire is used to provide positive DC power to the laser units. This must be
in the range of 9 to 24 Volts on our standard unit systems.
Orange wire is used as the digital output (event trigger) from the system.
When required, this wire should be connected through a 10 kOhm resistor to
the supply voltage (or separate power supply with common ground to the
supply voltage), as illustrated in Figure 3 below. The laser will output its digital
signal by changing the voltage at the output of the orange wire between 0 and
the supply voltage. This digital signal has many uses and is most common as
an event trigger device such as precise detection for camera triggering and
intruder detection for example.

ILM Laser Safety Information
In terms of laser safety information and requirements, there are two optional models to select
from as listed below
1.
ILM-35-R/-D/-T/-S; ILM-150-R/-D/-T/-S; ILM-500-R/-D/-T/-S
2.
ILM-35-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP; ILM-150-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP; ILM-500-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP
In either case, the infrared radiation source is pulsed whereas the optional collinear visible
laser source, denoted by the additional P suffix, is continuous wave (CW). Upon unit switchon, pulsed infrared radiation is automatically emitted once the start-up routine has completed,
and data is transmitted from the unit. The visible radiation source, or red dot pointer (RDP),
may be switched on or off by the user, where independent of its employment the infrared
(measurement) radiation pulses continue to fire - there is combined visible and invisible
radiation exposure!
Eye safety classification, laser precautions and hazard control measures and recommendations
are defined in the following sections.
ILM-35-R/-D/-T/-S & ILM-150-R/-D/-T/-S Laser Classification:
The ILM-35-R/-D/-T/-S and ILM-150-R/-D/-T/-S modules are classified as a Class 1 laser
products and fully comply with the International and European standard IEC/EN 60825-1
(2001/7) for which no laser labels are required to be placed upon the modules. These products
are both naked eye safe and eye safe with the use of optical instruments such as telescopes or
binoculars.
ILM-35-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP & ILM-150-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP Laser Classification:
The ILM-35-RP/DP/-TP/-SP and ILM-150-RP/DP/-TP-SP modules are classified as Class 2 laser
products and fully comply with the International and European standard IEC/EN 60825-1
(2001/7) for which the following mandatory labels are placed upon the units external casing.
The labels are legible and should be made clearly visible, facing the user during operation,
maintenance and service:

ILM-500-R/-D/-T/-S Laser Classification:

The ILM-500-R/-D/-T/-S modules are classified as a Class 1 laser products and fully comply with
the International and European standard IEC/EN 60825-1 (2001/7) for which no laser labels are
required to be placed upon the modules. These products are both naked eye safe and eye safe
with the use of optical instruments such as telescopes or binoculars.
ILM-500-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP Laser Classification:
The ILM-500-RP/-DP/-TP/-SP modules are classified as Class 2 laser products and fully comply
with the International and European standard IEC/EN 60825-1 (2001/7) for which the following
mandatory labels are placed upon the units external casing. The labels are legible and should
be made clearly visible, facing the user during operation, maintenance and service:
ILM-500-RP:
ILM-500-DP/-TP/-SP:
All standard P-suffix denoted products, i.e. red dot pointer included products, are safe for
brief, accidental viewing (< 0.25 seconds) with the naked eye as protection is normally afforded
by aversion responses, including blink reflex, but is not safe for deliberate, long-term viewing.
All products are intended for use in a locale where the emitted radiation is unlikely to be
viewed with optical instruments.
Doc No: IM-018
Iss: 1
Page 20 of 32
Nevertheless, MDL recommends that none of these instruments are directly pointed at
persons eyes, nor viewed with optical instruments. Aligning any of the ILM product devices
with the lenses of CCD-cameras or infrared night vision devices may result in damage to such
devices and is therefore not permitted.
Caution use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other that those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Never open the instruments
housing! Do not operate evidently damaged instruments! If the instrument is handled
incompetently, the manufacturers absolve themselves from honouring any guarantee or
insurance whatsoever. No responsibility is assumed by MDL for the devices use.
CAUTION - DO NOT UNNECESSARILY LOOK INTO THE TRANSMITTER LENS OF THE ILM-35-R/RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP, ILM-150-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP or ILM-500-R/-RP/-D/-DP/T/-TP/-S/-SP LASER MODULES.
CAUTION LASER LIGHT IS BRIGHT AND BLINDING DO NOT SHINE AT AIRCRAFT OR
VEHICLES AT ANY DISTANCE
WARNING Opening the protective housing may result in exposure to Class 3B
radiation.
This caution label is normally positioned inside the outer housing on the cover of
the laser emitter mount for all product variants. It is therefore only visible by
qualified maintenance engineers prior and after access to the laser emitter. Due
to size restriction considerations of this module, the label is supplied separately
and it is advised that the label is wrapped around the supply leads. Only qualified
and trained persons should be assigned to operate ILM-35-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/SP, ILM-150-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP or ILM-500-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP
laser modules. When not in use, the device should be stored in a location where
unauthorized personnel cannot gain access.
MDL recommends that the instrument is not directly pointed at peoples eyes,
especially if they are using binoculars. Do not unnecessarily look into the transmitter
lens of the ILM-35-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP, ILM-150-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/SP or ILM-500-R/-RP/-D/-DP/-T/-TP/-S/-SP laser modules.
The turning on or off of any of the lasers can be done via software control through the serial
data communication port.
Laser eye- safety limits, i.e. the maximum energy per pulse for the specified laser pulse train, is
calculated based upon three design criteria source size, optical design and pulse count
(frequency of operation). Each may be varied during the manufacturing selection criteria to
maximise the performance of the ILM device for the specific application. In terms of range
Doc No: IM-018
Iss: 1
Page 21 of 32
performance, the greater the laser pulse energy, the longer the range the pulse may travel and
be reflected back with enough energy that the detector can see the return. Laser device
classification and performance is also limited by the number of pulses requirement, hence the
greater the number of laser pulses, the lower the energy per pulse has to be.
One final consideration is the diameter of the (transmit) laser optic/beam-size. The human eye
typically has a pupil size of 7 mm during normal, daylight conditions. If the beam diameter of the
laser is larger than the pupil size, then it is not possible for all of the energy to enter the eye at
one time, unless aided by optical instrumentation, e.g. binoculars, telescope, theodolite. Hence
the beam diameter also can be used to define the eye safety of the lasers and so as a general
rule of thumb, the longer the range required from the unit, the larger the beam diameter and
hence the larger the physical size of the specified unit.

ILM Technical Specification
The ILM-35-XX standard product portfolio was designed as a reduced range yet higher accuracy option variant of the ILM-150-XX unit. The improved
performance at shorter ranges signifies a more suitable unit for applications where targets are of relatively low reflectivity and in close proximity to the device
location. The range capability of this unit is therefore less than the original ILM-150-XX unit, making it customer specific to passive targets to ranges of 35 metres
or less.

The beam diameter, beam width or spot size of an

electromagnetic beam is the diameter along any
specified line that is perpendicular to the beam axis
and intersects it. Since beams typically do not have
sharp edges, the diameter can be defined in many
different ways. One such definition of spot size in
common use is FWHM. The American National
Standard Z136.1-2007 for Safe Use of Lasers defines
the beam diameter as the distance between
diametrically opposed points in that cross-section of a
beam where the power per unit area is half (0.5) times
that of the peak power per unit area.
The calculated spot size of beam irradiance for the standard ILM-35-XX, ILM-150-XX and ILM-500-XX
standard product modules is calculated for the given distance range value, in metres, below Range /(m)
