## **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.

## **Mounting and Configuring the Luminescence Sensor**
**D C B A**
A - Power LED (green) B - Output LED (amber)
C - TEACH button
D - DO / LO Rotary Selection (DO = fully clockwise; LO = fully counterclockwise)
1. Mount the luminescence sensor.
2. Align the luminescence sensor and the luminescent mark or luminescent target.
3. Select operating mode **Light Operate** or **Dark Operate** .
- Turn the rotary switch (D) _counterclockwise_ to select **Light Operate** if an output is desired when a luminescent mark (target) is present.
- Turn the rotary switch (D) _clockwise_ to select **Dark Operate** if an output is desired when a non-luminescent background is present.
## **TEACH Procedures**
There are two ways to teach the Q26 Luminescence Sensor: press the TEACH button on the sensor or use a remote input line. The Q26 Luminescence Sensor has three TEACH procedures:
- Light SET
- Two-Point TEACH
- Dark SET

Q26 Luminescence Sensor
## **Light SET**
1. Present the luminescent target and the sensor will set the threshold appropriately.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Position the luminescent target in front of the light spot emitted by
the sensor.|Power LED: ON
Output LED: depends on LO/DO
selection, previous teach, and target.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|||
2. Teach the sensing condition.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press and hold the TEACH button until the Power LED goes OFF, then
release before the power LED turns ON again (less than 3 seconds).|Power LED: ON
Output LED: ON (LO Mode), OFF (DO
Mode)|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote wire high (to + V dc) until the Power LED goes OFF,
then release before the power LED turns ON again (less than 3
seconds).||
If the TEACH procedure was accepted, the Power LED turns ON and the sensor automatically returns to Run mode.
3. If the TEACH procedure was not accepted, the Power LED flashes and the Output LED is OFF. If the Power LED continues to flash, the TEACH procedure failed because of a low signal. Manually return the sensor to Run mode.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press and hold the TEACH button until the flashing Power LED turns
solid green.|The sensor returns to Run mode.
Power LED is ON.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote input line high (to + V dc) until the flashing Power
LED turns solid green.||
As an alternative, follow the steps for Two-Point TEACH.
## **Two-Point TEACH Mode**
Present both the luminescent mark and the background in two steps. The sensor will set the switching threshold between the two conditions and optimize its sensitivity.
1. Present the target.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Position the luminescent target in front of the light spot emitted by
the sensor.|Power LED: ON
Output LED: depends on LO/DO
selection and target.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|||
2. Teach the sensing condition.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press and hold the TEACH button until the Power LED goes OFF, then
ON (at least 3 seconds) and then release before the Power LED turns
OFF again (less than 5 seconds).|Power LED: OFF
Output LED: OFF|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote input wire high (to + V dc) until the Power LED goes
OFF, then ON (at least 3 seconds) and then release before the Power
LED turns OFF again (less than 5 seconds).||
3. Present the background.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Position the background in front of the light spot emitted by the
sensor.|Power LED: OFF
Output LED: OFF|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|||
4. Teach the background condition.

Q26 Luminescence Sensor
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press the TEACH button (approximately 1 second), then release.|Power LED: ON
Output LED: OFF (LO Mode), ON (DO
Mode)
If the TEACH procedure was
accepted, the sensor automatically
returns to Run mode.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote wire high (to + V dc) (approximately 1 second),
then release.||
During the two-point TEACH procedure, if the luminescence signal is very weak, the sensor will increase its sensitivity by reducing its output response frequency from 2000 Hz to 500 Hz. The green LED blinks two times at the end of the TEACH procedure to indicate this has occurred.
5. If the TEACH procedure was not accepted, the Power LED flashes and the Output LED is OFF. If the Power LED continues to flash, the TEACH procedure failed because of a low signal. Manually return the sensor to Run mode.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press and hold the TEACH button until the flashing Power LED turns
solid green.|The sensor returns to Run mode.
Power LED is ON.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote input line high (to + V dc) until the flashing Power
LED turns solid green.||
As an alternative, try teaching the sensor using a different target.
## **Dark SET**
1. Sets the switching threshold for maximum sensitivity and a response speed of 2000 Hz. The sensor can be aligned at any target for this procedure.
|**Method**|**Action**|**Result**|
|---|---|---|
|**TEACH Button**|Press and hold the TEACH button until the Power LED goes OFF, then
ON (at 3 seconds) and continue holding for at least 5 seconds until
the Power LED turns OFF again.|Power LED: ON
Output LED: depends on LO/DO
selection and target.|
|**Remote Input**
**Line**|Hold the remote input line high (to + V dc) until the Power LED goes
OFF, then ON (at 3 seconds) and continue holding for at least 5
seconds until the Power LED turns OFF again.||
