How to choose a sensor for Nivel System crossline lasers?

For the safety of the operator, our lasers are equipped with a safe light source that is weaker than natural light.

For this reason, the laser beam is not visible to the outdoors and a laser sensor must be used (as when working at further distances).

Cooperation with the laser sensor is ensured by the pulse function with which the cross laser is equipped. In standard operation, the laser emits a constant beam of light. In order for the beam to be recognised by the sensor, we need to switch to pulse mode, the beam must start flashing at the appropriate frequency.

Here is a quick reference to help you choose the right sensor for your laser:

First, check what frequency your laser operates at:

1) our LASERS are offered with the operating frequency of the PULSE function:
5 kHz – older models, produced until 2022 (those with black laser heads)
10 kHz – new models, produced from 2022 onwards (those with silver laser heads)

2) LASER SENSORS – manual
5 kHz – models CLS-1 (red beam), CLS-1G (green/blue beam) , CLS-3 (all beam colours; discontinued but still available on the market)
10 kHz – CLS-4 (all beam colours) and RD800 (digital sensor, shows numeric indication on display, in ‘mm’)
