The “R” Series
Wall Wart Style Power Supply
Optional M12 Connector
The R series laser is the workhorse of our line. Low cost and well suited to many applications, the standard configuration includes a remote style AC PSU (PT#SA-115) to supply the necessary 5VDC to the unit. As always, the unit fits all of our mounting hardware and movable systems.
Can also be purchased in the M12 configuration: for customers that are supplying their own 3-9VDC power.
Please ask us about any questions you might have regarding this unit!

Frequently Asked Questions
This series is the most economical of our lasers, but as you would imagine each application has specific requirements for which a particular configuration may be best suited. While these units have gone into many varied installations including comparatively harsh duty environments, this unit works very well indoors and in stationary mounted applications.
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.
Some customers are connecting to a system that already has a 3-9vdc source available, and only require the laser unit itself. The M12 connector is an industry standard sensor connection that most electricians are familiar with and will often have on hand for typical maintenance.
