2AMS 2140 Advanced Laser Alignment Application
1 Introduction
1.1 Basic and Advanced Laser Alignment Application
overview
The AMS 2140 Basic and Advanced Laser Alignment Applications enable you
to perform horizontal machine alignment. In addition, the Advanced Laser
Alignment Application adds advanced options for horizontal alignment along
with new applications for vertical machines and straightness measurements.
The Basic Laser Alignment Application is similar to the Basic mode available in
the Advanced Laser Alignment Application. Alignment is done with the help
of the sensALIGN® laser and sensor (Emerson P/N A8240).
The horizontal alignment feature is used to acquire and display alignment
data for machines where the machine moves are done at the machine feet.
Horizontal alignment is available in Basic and Advanced mode. In Basic mode,
you have access to only a subset of the full functionality of a horizontal
alignment job. In Advanced mode, you have access to the full functionality of
a horizontal alignment job. The controls for enabling thermal growth input,
foot pre-check, review results, live move orientation, live move alerts, setting
the alignment method, and changing the placement of the laser and sensor
are available only in Advanced mode.
Except for differences in the alignment job parameters you can set under the
Laser Align Application ALT screen, the procedure for performing Basic
horizontal alignment is identical to Advanced horizontal alignment.
You can create alignment jobs and transfer them to AMS Suite: Machinery
Health Manager for storage and analysis.
This document only covers horizontal alignment using the Advanced Laser
Alignment Application. For a complete list of the Advanced Laser Alignment
Application functionality, refer to the Alignment chapter of the AMS 2140
Machinery Health Analyzer User Guide.

2 Laser and sensor setup
1. Mount the brackets on opposite sides of the coupling.
2. Mount the laser and sensor on the brackets.
3. Adjust the laser beam so that it is correctly centered on the sensor.
4. Enable Bluetooth in the AMS 2140.
5. Pair the sensor.
These steps are covered in detail in the topics that follow.
2.1 Laser and sensor overview
The laser and sensor communicate via Bluetooth with the AMS 2140.
The laser and sensor have a similar appearance and are differentiated by the
color of their sliding dust caps—yellow for the laser and red for the sensor. To
power on the laser and sensor, briefly press and hold the on/off button.
The laser
The laser beam is adjusted during set-up by changing its vertical and
horizontal angles using the position thumbwheels, so that the beam strikes
the sensor lens perpendicular to the lens surface.
The laser is water and dust resistant (IP 65). The internal optics and
electronics are internally sealed, preventing possible contamination.

Laser safety
WARNING!
•Do not look directly into the laser beam at any time.
•Do not insert any optical devices into the beam path.
Note
The red LED on the front of the laser illuminates whenever the laser beam is
emitted.
December 2018 Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide 9
The sensor
The sensor contains two position detectors that measure the exact position
and inclination of the laser beam as the shafts are rotated.
Bluetooth radio is integrated into the sensor for wireless transmission of
measurement data to the AMS 2140.
Terminology
The following terminologies are used throughout this document.
Term Meaning
Laser Refers to the laser head (yellow dust cap)
Sensor Refers to the sensor head (red dust cap)
Laser fixtures Refers to both the laser and sensor heads
2.2 Mount the brackets
Mount the brackets on opposite sides of the coupling on either the shafts or
on the solid coupling hubs, and both at the same rotational position.
