Response: ____________________

Requested family and existing equipment
LDS inquiry reference if known; original head, controller, gateway and cable part numbers.
Response: ____________________

Nearest/farthest distance and measuring span
State both limits and units, mounting space and optical clearance; include any approach below 1 m.
Response: ____________________

Target surface, layers and temperatures

Response: ____________________

PLC or PC interface and result format
Controller model; exact analog/digital protocol; units, status flags, timestamps and data-loss behavior.
Response: ____________________

Mechanical drawing and installation review
Drawing revision, mounting datum, connector/cable access, frame, reflector and protective housing.
Response: ____________________

Electrical and communication review
Supply, model-specific pin assignment, analog load/scaling, register/process map and firmware revision.
Response: ____________________

Documents to request
STEP/drawing; clearance; M12 pinout; analog/Modbus map; fieldbus/SDK; calibration; safety/environment.
Response: ____________________

Reference artifact and calibration scope
Reference identity/uncertainty, points/span, fixture and environmental conditions, report identity.
Response: ____________________

Acceptance method and decision rule
Tolerance and uncertainty treatment, repeat/reload tests, difficult surfaces and invalid-data coverage.
Response: ____________________

Supply scope, quantity and destination
Heads/systems, frame/controller responsibility, sample/annual quantities, country and desired schedule.
