Quick Start Guide
Class 1 laser CMOS sensor with dual outputs and IO-Link. Patent pending.
This guide is designed to help you set up and install the Q4X sensor with dual discrete outputs and IO-Link. For complete
information on programming, performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction
Manual at www.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n 190074 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document
assumes familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.
For illustration purposes, the threaded barrel model Q4X images are used throughout this document.
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Display and Indicators
The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. The main screen is the Run mode screen.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in millimeters. For dual
TEACH mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of
indicates the sensor has not been taught.

• DYN—Dynamic (Amber)
• FGS—Foreground Suppression (Amber)
• BGS—Background Suppression (Amber)
Note: The indicators represent the currently selected channel. However, if Output 2 is set to something
other than LO, DO, or Complementary, then the indicators represent the Channel 1 status.

Output Indicator
•On—Output is on
• Off—Output is off
Active TEACH Indicators (DYN, FGS, and BGS)
• DYN, FGS, and BGS all off—Two-point TEACH mode
selected (default)
• DYN on—Dynamic TEACH mode selected
• FGS on—Foreground suppression TEACH mode
selected
• BGS on—Background suppression TEACH mode
selected
• DYN, FGS, and BGS all on—Dual TEACH mode
selected
Stability Indicator (STB)
•On—Stable signal within the specified sensing range
• Flashing—Marginal signal, the target is outside the
limits of the specified sensing range, or a multiple
peak condition exists
• Off—No target detected within the specified sensing
range
Buttons
Use the sensor buttons (SELECT)(TEACH), (+)(CH1/CH2), and (-)(MODE) to program the sensor.
(SELECT)(TEACH)
•Press to select menu items in Setup mode
• Press and hold for longer than 2 seconds to start
the currently selected TEACH mode (the default is
two-point TEACH)
(+)(CH1/CH2)
•Press to navigate the sensor menu in Setup mode
• Press to change setting values; press and hold to
increase numeric values
• Press and hold for longer than 2 seconds to switch
between Channel 1 and Channel 2
(-)(MODE)
•Press to navigate the sensor menu in Setup mode
• Press to change setting values; press and hold to
decrease numeric values
• Press and hold for longer than 2 seconds to enter
Setup mode
Note: When navigating the menu, the
menu items loop.
Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION: 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.
Class 1 Lasers
Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical
instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Laser wavelength: 655 nm Output: < 0.20 mW Pulse Duration: 7 µs to 2 ms
