RHL4 Series
New Miniature Laser Ride Height Sensor
Features
The Model RHL4 series of miniature laser ride height sensors are designed to withstand the harsh environment
of industrial and motorsport applications. The sensor has a small diameter visible laser which is reflected off
the track surface to a precision CCD detector which determines the height from the ground.
 New Miniature Size
 8 inch Range
Supplied with a standard measurement range of 8 ins (2.4 - 10.4 ins), the RHL4 is ideal for use on all types of
vehicle including Formula Cars, NASCAR, Touring, Indy Cars, GT, LMP, Rally, Off Road, Karts and more.
 32-185˚F Temp Range
The measurement rate of up to 4KHz and linearity of 0.1% ensures a fast and accurate recording of real time
vehicle data. The supply voltage is a common 11-30V which is readily available on most data logging systems
 Up to 4Khz rate
and the analog voltage output is 1-5V. On-board compensation ensures that different track colors and surfaces
 Low
are correctly measured without error.
 Pressure
Replaceable Lens
Construction is ruggedized against high vibration and temperature. An anodized aluminum case has a choice of  Barometric
electrical connection. Either Deutsch connector or a low profile cable exit can be selected. The tough plastic
lens can be replaced easily in the event of damage.
