## Overview 

The Q4X Analog Sensor is a Class 1 laser CMOS measuring sensor that uses a 0 to 10 V (4 to 20 mA) output to represent the distance measured. 

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.

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.

## Installation 

## Install the Safety Label 

The safety label must be installed on Q4X 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 Q4X cable, as shown. 

3. Press the two halves of the label together. 

## Sensor Orientation 

Optimize detection reliability and performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.

## 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.

## Slope (SLPE) 

Use this menu to set the slope as positive or negative. 

This swaps the 0 V and 10 V (4 and 20 mA) values. The default is positive. The slope is defined relative to the zero reference, so if the zero setting is changed from near to far, a slope will be considered positive if the analog output increases as the target becomes closer to the face of the sensor. 

- POS —the slope is positive 

- nEG —the slope is negative

The analog voltage output tracks slightly beyond the upper window limit (up to 10.2 V) 

The analog current output tracks slightly beyond each window limit (from 3.8 mA to 20.2 mA) 

## Zero Reference Location (ZEro) 

Use this menu to select the zero-reference location. 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.

|---|---|

|The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced measurements are|
|10.5 V (20.5 mA)|
|enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the release of the trigger input.|
|Hold|The Analog Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal. When advanced measurements are|

**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The Range advanced measurement behavior is affected by the Loss of Signal option. For additional information on advanced measurements, see "Trigger (trG)" on page 24. 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

## 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 .

## Sync Master/Slave 

Two Q4X sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. 

To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors, configure one sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed doubles. 

IMPORTANT: The master sensor and the slave sensor must be programmed for the same Base Response Speed setting. The master sensor and slave sensor must share a common power source. 

1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate to: inPt › nASt . 

2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate: inPt › SLUE . 

3. Connect the gray (input) wires of the two sensors together.

## Chapter 8 Product Support and Maintenance 

## Clean Sensor with Compressed Air and Water 

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. 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 only water and a lint-free cloth. Do not use any other chemicals for cleaning.
