## **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.

## **Overview** 

The Banner Q26 sensor is a high performance clear object sensor. The polarized coaxial optical design ensures reliable detection of transparent, opaque, or reflective targets at any distance between the sensor and the reflector. Sensitivity adjustment of the sensor is done with a single turn potentiometer. Light Operate and Dark Operate selection is made by a sealed rotary switch. 

## **Set-Up Procedure for Maximum Sensitivity** 

1. Mount and align the Q26 sensor and the reflector. 

2. Turn the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer (C) fully clockwise. 

3. Select light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). 

   - If an output is desired when the reflector is blocked, turn the LO / DO rotary switch (D) fully clockwise to select dark operate (DO). 

   - If an output is desired when the reflector is **not** blocked, turn the LO / DO rotary switch (D) fully counterclockwise to select light operate (LO). 

4. With no target present, turn the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer counterclockwise until the yellow output LED (B) changes state. 

5. With no target present, slowly turn the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the output changes state again.

6. Place the transparent target between the sensor and the reflector. 

7. Adjust the potentiometer as necessary to achieve reliable detection of the transparent target.

## **Health Mode Output Overview** 

Health Mode communicates to the user that there is adequate or inadequate excess gain for reliable sensor operation. It provides a continuous signal that the sensor is operating normally and is connected properly. When the Q26 sensor is setup for maximum sensitivity, the excess gain will often be between 1.0 and 1.5 excess gain with no target present and the Health output will be OFF. This is normal operation for clear object sensing. 

In Health Mode, the Health output is ON when the excess gain of the sensor is greater than 1.5X threshold or less than 1X threshold. The Health Mode output provides a signal to the customer’s PLC that the sensor is operating with adequate excess gain, or the beam is blocked.
