Q2XABFF Fixed Field Sensor with Background Suppression
## Q2XABFF Features
- Miniature sensor for installation in the smallest of spaces
- • Background suppression models for reliable detection of objects when the background condition is not controlled or fixed
- • Enhanced immunity to fluorescent lights • Crosstalk immunity algorithm allows two sensors to be used in close proximity • Small visible red LED
- WARNING: • Do not use this device for personnel protection • Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death. • This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-energized (off) output condition.

To order the sensor model with a 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable and a 4-pin M8 quick disconnect connector, replace " 2M " with " Q ".
To order the sensor model with a 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable and a 4-pin M12 quick disconnect connector, replace " 2M " with " Q5 ".
## Q2XABFF Overview
The Q2XABFF Fixed Field with Background Suppression Sensor ignores objects beyond the set cutoff distance. Background suppression mode can be used in most situations with varying object color and position or with varying background conditions.

## 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.
## Q2XABFF Wiring Diagrams
Cabled wiring diagrams are shown. Quick disconnect wiring diagrams are functionally identical.

## FCC Part 15 Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
## Industry Canada ICES-003(B)
This device complies with CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Cet appareil est conforme à la norme NMB-3(B). Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) ce dispositif ne peut pas occasionner d'interférences, et (2) il doit tolérer toute interférence, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement non souhaité du dispositif.
