**Display and Indicators** 

1. Stability Indicator (STB = Green) 

2. Active TEACH Indicators 

   - DYN = Dynamic TEACH selected (Amber) 

   - • WND = Symmetric window thresholds are active (Amber) 

## _Figure 2. Display in Run Mode_ 

In Run mode, the 3-digit, 7-segment display provides real time information about signal strength for all models and target position for models with a fixed background suppression distance. The numeric value of 0 to 990 represent the amount of the received light divided by the threshold, and represents the excess gain of the sensing event expressed as a percentage of the switch point. This value is called normalized signal strength (NSS). A NSS display range of 999 indicates a saturated received light signal, meaning that low contrast detection is not possible. 

In single threshold teach modes (Two-Point Static, Dynamic, Light Set, or Dark Set), the output switches at a displayed value of 100 (excess gain of 1.0). 

For models with a specified background suppression distance, indicates that a target is present at a distance beyond the background suppression distance and is being suppressed. In Light Operate mode, the output switches off when displays. For the background suppression models, the sensor's output state when displaying can be controlled using the menu. By default, the sensor treats a target in the background as a dark signal and honors the LO/DO selection. 

A displayed value of indicates no light received or a loss of signal. 

In Window Set teach mode, the value 100 represents the taught signal strength. The displayed value is the percentage of the received light divided by the taught signal strength. The output switches at displayed values above and below 100 as determined by the userselected window offset percentage.

## **Installation** 

## **Install the Safety Label** 

The safety label must be installed on Q3X sensors that are used in the United States. 

**Note:** Position the label on the cable in a location that has minimal chemical exposure. 

1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label. 

2. Wrap the label around the Q3X cable, as shown. 

3. Press the two halves of the label together. 

_Figure 3. Safety Label Installation_ 

## **Sensor Orientation** 

Correct sensor-to-target orientation is important to ensure proper sensing. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected. 

For models with background suppression, make sure the intended target is inside of the contrast sensing range and that any background objects are positioned beyond the background suppression distance. 

_Figure 4. Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor_

**Note:** Open lead wires must be connected to a terminal block. 

**Note:** The input wire function is user-selectable; see the Instruction Manual for details. The default for the input wire function is off (disabled). 

## **Cleaning and Maintenance** 

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. may create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. Blow the window clear using filtered, compressed air, then clean as necessary using 70% isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs or water and a soft cloth. 

## **Sensor Programming** 

Program the sensor using the buttons on the sensor or the input wire (limited programming options; see the Instruction Manual for details). 

In addition to programming the sensor, use the input wire to disable the buttons for security, preventing unauthorized or accidental programming changes. See the Instruction Manual for more information.

5. Select a submenu option. 

   - Press © and & simultaneously to select and save a submenu option and return to the top menu. 

   - Press © and & simultaneously for longer than 2 seconds to select and save a submenu option and return to Run mode. 

**Note:** The current submenu selection is solid, all other selections flash. 

To exit Setup mode from the top menu and return to Run mode, navigate to and press and simultaneously, or press and hold oJ] and & simultaneously for longer than 2 seconds to return to Run mode from anywhere in the top menu. 

## **Basic TEACH Instructions** 

Use the following instructions to teach the Q3X sensor. The instructions provided on the sensor display vary depending on the type of TEACH mode selected. Two-point TEACH is the default TEACH mode. 

1. Press and hold **TEACH** for longer than 2 seconds to start the selected TEACH mode. 

2. Present the target.

4. Present the second target. 

5. Press **TEACH** to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor returns to Run mode. 

See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. 

## **Manual Adjustments** 

Manually increase or decrease gain using or . 

1. From Run mode, press either or one time. The current signal strength value flashes slowly. 

2. Press to decrease the sensor's gain or to increase the sensor's gain, or press and hold or to rapidly decrease or increase gain. After 1 second, the normalized signal strength flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode.
