The “LV” Series
Low Voltage Input
M12 Connection
The LV series is specifically designed for “Low Voltage” applications that provide their own power supply. This unit features a wide spread switching power converter for applications that will accept both AC as well as DC power. As designed it has inherent reverse polarity, and surge protection, and features the industry standard M12 connector as standard. Great for control level industrial applications that require a hardwired connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
The LV series has a switch mode converter built in which allows the use of low voltage AC or DC with no changes required to switch between sources. The inputs are not polarity sensitive; simply connect the BROWN and BLUE wires (typical wire coding Pin 1 and 3, if your wire colors vary) with either polarity from your source.
Many people inquire as to what the differences are between the red and green units, and why one would want to choose either way. The industry standard has been red lasers since the 70’s with the green wavelength being more difficult to achieve. With the advent of solid state lasers, this has changed as great strides have been achieved in reducing the complexity, while increasing the lifetimes and robustness in more harsh environments.
So, why choose one color or the other? The ~635nm (nanometer) wavelength works great in all applications, and indeed over the years these applications have run the gamut. What makes the green unique is that it falls into a wavelength (520nm) range that is approx. 20-30% more visible to the human eye. In applications that have a very high ambient light, the green may make the difference between visible or not. Another issue is hue. Some surfaces such as certain species of wood, as well as some sheet goods or fabric have a reddish hue in which the red laser light will become somewhat lost. The contrast of the green will be of great benefit in these applications. Often times it is necessary to have several laser lines side by side and a contrasting specific marker line in required, such as a fence line on a ripsaw in which one contrasting color, typically a green unit, will serve to make that distinction.
Also, in circumstances where the operator has some level of colorblindness, one or the other may be more visible to them due to the disparate sensitivity to the red and green wavelengths.
If you have any other questions regarding this topic, or help deciding either way, please feel free to ask and we would be happy to assist.
