When the sensor is in Run mode, the display shows the current measurement reading or corresponding analog output value. The size and location of the analog output window can be manually adjusted or the selected TEACH method can be performed. When the sensor is in Setup mode, all standard operating parameters, including TEACH mode, analog slope, response time, and more can be adjusted, or a factory reset can be performed. ## Features **==> picture [72 x 78] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

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. (Part 15.21) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. ## 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. © Banner Engineering Corp.

## Averaging (AVG) Use this menu to set the number of measurements that are averaged together for the analog output. Increasing the averaging improves repeatability, but increases the total response speed. The default is 1. The filter can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512. Use the table to determine the total response speed. NOTE: The Q4X uses a dynamic measurement rate, so these response times are worst-case. page 20 of 41 © Banner Engineering Corp.

Changing the zero-reference location only affects the readout on the display and does not affect the output. The default is nEAr , 0 = the front of the sensor. - —0 is the front of the sensor and the measurement increases further from the sensor. - —0 is the maximum range and the measurement increases closer to the sensor. ## Shift the Zero Reference Location after a TEACH (ShFt) Use this menu to select whether the sensor shifts the zero reference location based on the last TEACH process. The default is , 0 = the front of the sensor or the maximum range. - —Shift the zero reference location to one of the taught positions with each TEACH - —0 = the front of the sensor or the maximum range, depending on the setting This figure illustrates three examples of how changes to the zero and shift settings affect what distance readout is shown on the display when in 2-pt TEACH mode. Changes to the zero setting affect the direction in which the distance increases. Turning the shift setting on sets the taught location as the reference point for any distance measurement. For two-point TEACH, this is the 0 V (4 mA) point. For one-point TEACH, this is the 5 V (12 mA) point. page 22 of 41 © Banner Engineering Corp.

The Range advanced measurement tracks a maximum and a minimum during the measurement period, and calculates the range as follows: Range = maximum distance – minimum distance © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com page 23 of 41 27-Mar-26 Q4X Stainless Steel Analog Laser Sensor Product Manual Sensor Programming If the maximum and/or minimum measurements are outside of the taught range values, the Loss of Signal option determines how the range is calculated. ## Sensor behavior in range mode **==> picture [500 x 79] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Input Wire Function (inPt) Use this menu to select the input wire function. The default is off, ignore all remote input pulses. - oFF —Ignore all remote input pulses - SEt —Remote TEACH input - LoFF —Laser off when pulled low - Lon —Laser on when pulled low - nASt —Master sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance - SLUE —Slave sync line input for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance - trG —Trigger mode for advanced measurements (see "Trigger (trG)" on page 24) To configure sensors for master-slave operation, see "Sync Master/Slave" on page 32. ## Trigger (trG) The Trigger option sets the advanced measurement that is calculated when a trigger event is detected on the remote input. The analog output updates with the new advanced measurement on each trigger event. To use these Trigger options, the sensor Input Type option must be set to trG . ## Trigger submenus **==> picture [500 x 164] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
Trigger Submenus Description
Average AUEr The averaged distance since the last trigger event. (default)

Press to increase the size of the analog window or to decrease the size of the analog window. 3. Press Select to confirm the window size. The new window size flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode. ## Remote Input Use the remote input to program the sensor remotely. The remote input provides limited programming options and is Active low. For Active low, connect the gray input wire to ground (0 V DC), with a remote switch connected between the wire and ground. Pulse the remote input according to the diagram and the instructions provided in this manual. The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T: 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds . Exit remote programming modes by setting the remote input low for longer than 2 seconds. © Banner Engineering Corp.
