Class 2 Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION:
•
Return defective units to the manufacturer.
•
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the
manufacturer.
CAUTION:
•
Never stare directly into the sensor lens.
•
Laser light can damage your eyes.
•
Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.
For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers
•
Do not stare at the laser.
•
Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
•
Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.
•
Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.
Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye protection is normally
afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under
reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25
seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals
overcome their natural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

Optimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure
reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.
Figure 4. Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor
See the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may pose
problems for sensing some targets. The Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidence and still
provide reliable detection performance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each
case, refer to .

Basic TEACH Instructions
Use the following instructions to teach the Q5X sensor. The instructions provided on the sensor display vary depending on the type
of TEACH mode selected. Two-point TEACH is the default TEACH mode.
1.
Press and hold TEACH for longer than 2 seconds to start the selected TEACH mode.
2.
Present the target.
3.
Press TEACH to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor waits for the second target, if required by the selected
TEACH mode, or returns to Run mode.
4.
Complete these steps only if it is required for the selected TEACH mode.
a) Present the second target.
b) Press TEACH to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor returns to Run mode.
See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. The TEACH modes include:
•
Two point analog teach
—Sets the distance values associated with 0V and 10V (4mA and 20mA) based on taught
target distances
•
One point analog teach
—Sets the 5V (12mA) midpoint of the analog output to center the analog output around a
reference target position
•
Two-point static background suppression
(discrete, channel 2 only)—Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point.
The sensor sets the switch point between two taught target distances.
•
Dynamic background suppression
(discrete, channel 2 only)—Dynamic TEACH sets a single switch point during
machine run conditions. The sensor takes multiple samples and the switch point is set between the minimum and the
maximum sampled distances.
•
One-point window (foreground suppression)
(discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point window sets a window (two
switch points) centered around the taught target distance.
•
One-point background suppression
(discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point background suppression sets a single
switch point in front of the taught target distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
•
Dual intensity + distance
(discrete, channel 2 only)—Dual mode records the distance and amount of light received
from the reference surface. See Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations on p. 11 for more information about
selecting a reference surface. The output switches when an object passing between the sensor and the reference surface
changes the perceived distance or amount of returned light.
Manual Adjustments
Manually adjust the sensor switch point using the
and
buttons.
1.
From Run mode, press either
or
one time.
The selected channel displays briefly, then the current switch point value flashes slowly.
2.
Press
to move the switch point up or
to move the switch point down.
After 1 second of inactivity, the new switch point value flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to
Run mode.
Note: When FGS mode is selected, manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical threshold window
simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the center point of
the window.
Note: When dual mode is selected, after the TEACH process is completed, use the manual adjustment to adjust
the sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught reference point is a combination of
the measured distance and returned signal intensity from the reference target. Manual adjustment does not
move the taught reference point, but pressing
increases the sensitivity, and pressing
decreases the
sensitivity. When re-positioning the sensor or changing the reference target, re-teach the sensor.
Locking and Unlocking the Sensor Buttons
Use the lock and unlock feature to prevent unauthorized or accidental programming changes. Three settings are available:
•
—The sensor is unlocked and all settings can be modified (default).
•
— The sensor is locked and no changes can be made.
•
—The switch point value can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no sensor settings can be changed
through the menu.
Note: When the sensor is in either
or
mode, the active channel can be changed using (+)(CH1/
CH2).

displays when (-)(MODE) is pressed and held. To access the manual adjust options, briefly press
and release (+)(CH1/CH2) or (-)(MODE). To enter TEACH mode, press the (SELECT)(TEACH) button and hold for longer than 2
seconds.
To enter
mode, hold
and press
four times. To enter
mode, hold
and press
seven times. Holding
and pressing
four times unlocks the sensor from either lock mode and the sensor displays
.
Averaging
Use this menu to set the number of measurements that are averaged together for the analog output. Increasing the averaging
improves repeatability, but increases the total response speed. The default is 16. The filter can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,
256, or 512. Use the table to determine the total response speed.

Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations
Optimize reliable detection by applying these principals when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the
reference surface, and presenting your target. The robust detection capabilities of the Q5X allows successful detection even under
non-ideal conditions in many cases. Typical reference surfaces are metal machine frames, conveyor side rails, or mounted plastic
targets. Contact Banner Engineering if you require assistance setting up a stable reference surface in your application. For detailed
instructions for detecting clear or transparent objects, refer to the Instruction Manual, p/n 219602.
1.
Select a reference surface with these characteristics where possible:
•
Matte or diffuse surface finish
•
Fixed surface with no vibration
•
Dry surface with no build-up of oil, water, or dust
2.
Position the reference surface between 200 mm (20 cm) and the maximum sensing range.
3.
Position the target to be detected as close to the sensor as possible, and as far away from the reference surface as
possible.
4.
Angle the sensing beam relative to the target and relative to the reference surface 10 degrees or more.
