## Tilt the Sensor for Shiny Targets
To detect shiny targets, like unfinished metal, tilt the sensor 5° to 15°. The orientation of the sensor is important. Angle the connector up, so the specular reflection bounces away from the receiver.

In dark operate (DO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns less light to the sensor than the configured target and OFF when the sensor detects more light than the configured/taught target.
In light operate (LO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns the same or more light to the sensor and OFF when the sensor detects less light than the configured/taught target.
In adjustable field sensing modes, light operate is active when the target is present and dark operate is active when the target is absent.

Setup Example..................................................................................................................................................................................................... 7
## Chapter 3 Sensor Setup - Background Suppression
Background Suppression Mode: Detect objects closer than the set cutoff distance. Ignore objects more than the minimum separation distance and further than the set cutoff distance.
To ensure reliable background suppression, a minimum separation distance between the object to be detected and the background to be ignored is necessary. See Minimum Separation Distance in "Q2XAF Performance Curves" on page 10 to determine the minimum separation distance for the sensor’s emitter type: LED or laser.
1. Mount the sensor with the darkest object at the longest application distance. The distance to the object must be less than shown in the Minimum Separation Distance figure in "Q2XAF Performance Curves" on page 10 for your object color.
2. Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise until the yellow indicator turns off (3 turns maximum).
3. Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the yellow indicator turns on .
4.
- Replace the darkest object with the brightest background at the closest application distance.
5. Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise , counting the revolutions, until the yellow indicator turns on .
- a. Application Note: If the background turns the sensor on before adjusting the potentiometer, the object-tobackground distance is too close for reliable operation, and the Minimum Separation Distance is not met.
6. Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise half of the number of turns from step 5. This places the cutoff distance midway between the object and the background switchpoints (see Set the cutoff distance approximately midway between the farthest object and the closest background). The sensor is ready for operation.
Set the cutoff distance approximately midway between the farthest object and the closest background

## X: Distance to the Object
Y: Minimum Separation Between the Object and the Background
## Setup Example
An object with a reflectivity similar to black paper is set 75 mm away from the sensor. A background with a reflectivity similar to white paper is set 90 mm away from the sensor. According to the Minimum Separation Distance figure in "Q2XAF Performance Curves" on page 10, the LED sensor requires a minimum separation distance of 4 mm between the object and the background for reliable operation, and the laser sensor requires a minimum separation distance of 10 mm. In this application, reliable detection for both sensor types is achieved when set up according to the procedure outlined in "Sensor Setup - Background Suppression" on page 7.
Application Notes: Laser sensors can be influenced by the lateral motion of some objects as they laterally pass by the sensor as shown in Background Suppression Mode Application Example. If the object causes output instability when moving past the sensor laterally, move the sensor closer to the object or turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise to slightly move the cutoff distance further past the object to stabilize the output.
