  • DIY electronics projects
  • Robotics and automation systems
  • Leveling instruments

Wiring Instructions

Connect the module to a DC power supply within the specified voltage range:

  • Red Wire: Positive voltage (3V to 5V DC)
  • Black Wire: Ground (0V)

Ensure correct polarity to prevent damage to the module.

Adjusting the Focus

  1. Power on the laser module.
  2. Rotate the front lens ring to adjust the focus.
  3. Fine-tune until the desired line width and sharpness are achieved at the target distance.

Safety Precautions

  • This is a Class IIIa laser product. Avoid direct eye exposure to the laser beam.
  • Do not point the laser at reflective surfaces to prevent unintended reflections.
  • Use appropriate laser safety goggles if necessary.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

  • Laser does not emit: Verify power supply voltage and connections.
  • Weak or blurry line: Adjust the focus ring for optimal clarity.
  • Module overheating: Ensure adequate heat dissipation and avoid prolonged continuous operation beyond specified limits.

Maintenance

  • Keep the lens clean and free from dust or debris.
  • Store the module in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Periodically check connections and wiring for signs of wear or damage.
