PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
1.4. Features
The Q5X has three major features.
1.4.1. Display and Indicators
The display is a four-digit, seven-segment LED. Run mode is the primary view displayed.
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.

INSTALLATION
2. Installation
2.1. Sensor Orientation
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 1: 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 perfor-
mance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each case, refer to Typical Performance Curves on
page 32.
2.2. Mount the Device
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting
screws at this time.
3. Check the device alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

3.2.3. Loss of Signal (LOS)
Use this menu to select the Analog Output value used by the sensor during a loss of signal. When a signal is restored, measurement resumes.
The default is 0 V (4 mA).
The Range advanced measurement behavior is affected by the Loss of Signal option. For additional information on advanced measurements,
see Trigger (trG) on page 17. The Range advanced measurement tracks a maximum and a minimum during the measurement period, and calcu-
lates the range as follows:
Range = maximum distance – minimum distance
If the maximum and/or minimum measurements are outside of the taught range values, the Loss of Signal option determines how the range is
calculated.
3.2.4. Input Wire Function (inPt)
Use this menu to select the input wire function. The default is off, ignore all remote input pulses.
•oFF—Ignore all remote input pulses
•SEt—Remote TEACH input
•LoFF—Laser off when pulled low
•Lon—Laser on when pulled low
•nASt—Master sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•SLUE—Slave sync line input for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•trG—Trigger mode for advanced measurements (see Trigger (trG) on page 17)
To configure sensors for master-slave operation, see Sync Master/Slave on page 28.
3.2.5. Trigger (trG)
The Trigger option sets the advanced measurement that is calculated when a trigger event is detected on the remote input.
The analog output updates with the new advanced measurement on each trigger event. To use these Trigger options, the sensor Input Type
option must be set to trG.
One reference surface is taught outside the
sensing range

Table 6:Analog output value during a loss of signal
Option Description
0 V (4 mA)—default The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced measurements are
enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the release of the trigger input.
10.5 V (20.5 mA) The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced measurements are
enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the release of the trigger input.
Hold The Analog Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal. When advanced measurements are
enabled, the last value is held across the triggered measurement periods.
Table 7:Sensor behavior in range mode
Option Description
0 V (4 mA) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught range values, the sensor outputs 0 V (4 mA) to
indicate an out-of-range measurement.
10.5 V (20.5 mA) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught range values, the sensor outputs 10.5 V (20.5
mA) to indicate an out-of-range measurement.
Hold The sensor limits the maximum and minimum measurements so that they cannot exceed the taught range
values.
