## Cleaning and Maintenance 

Clean the sensor when soiled and use with care. 

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 only water and a lint-free cloth. 

## Sensor Programming 

Program the sensor using the buttons on the sensor or the remote input (limited programming options). 

In addition to programming the sensor, use the remote input to disable the buttons for security, preventing unauthorized or accidental programming changes. See the Instruction Manual, p/n 190074 for more information. 

> 1 Applying tilt to sensor may improve performance on reflective targets. The direction and magnitude of the tilt depends on the application, but a 15° tilt is often sufficient.

## Basic TEACH Instructions 

Use the following instructions to teach the Q4X 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. 

3. Press TEACH to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor waits for the second target, if required by the selected TEACH mode, or returns to Run mode. Complete steps 4 and 5 only if required for the selected TEACH mode: 

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. The TEACH modes include: 

- Two-point static background suppression rrre —Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point. The sensor sets the switch point between two taught target distances, relative to the shifted origin location. 

- Dynamic background suppression beet —Dynamic TEACH sets a single switch point during machine run conditions. The sensor takes multiple samples and the switch point is set between the minimum and the maximum sampled distances. 

- One-point window (foreground suppression) reer —One-point window sets a window (two switch points) centered around the taught target distance. 

- One-point background suppression oe —One-point background suppression sets a single switch point in front of the taught target distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.

Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

- Dual intensity + distance Pro —Dual mode records the distance and amount of light received from the reference surface. See Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations on page 11 for more information about selecting a reference surface. The output switches when an object passing between the sensor and the reference surface changes the perceived distance or amount of returned light. 

## Manual Adjustments 

Manually adjust the sensor switch point using the and buttons. 

1. From Run mode, press either or one time. The selected channel displays briefly, then the current switch point value flashes slowly. 

2. Press to move the switch point up or to move the switch point down. After 1 second of inactivity, the new switch point value flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode. Note: When FGS mode is selected (FGS indicator is on), manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical threshold window simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the center point of the window. Note: When dual mode is selected (DYN, FGS, and BGS indicators are on), after the TEACH process is completed, use the manual adjustment to adjust the sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught reference point is a combination of the measured distance and returned signal intensity from the reference target. Manual adjustment does not @ © move the taught reference point, but pressing increases the sensitivity, and pressing decreases the sensitivity. When re-positioning the sensor or changing the reference target, re-teach the sensor. 

## Locking and Unlocking the Sensor Buttons 

Use the lock and unlock feature to prevent unauthorized or accidental programming changes. 

Three settings are available: 

- ee —The sensor is unlocked and all settings can be modified (default). 

- hhh — The sensor is locked and no changes can be made. 

- hk he —The switch point value can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no sensor settings can be changed through the 

- menu. 

Note: When the sensor is in either a or a et mode, the active channel can be changed using (+)(CH1/CH2) . 

When in hth mode, Lm displays when the (SELECT)(TEACH) button is pressed. The switch point displays when (+)(CH1/CH2) or (-)(MODE) are pressed, but a, -_-—— displays if the buttons are pressed and held. 

When in a ee mode, ae displays when (-)(MODE) is pressed and held. To access the manual adjust options, briefly press and release (+) (CH1/CH2) or (-)(MODE) . To enter TEACH mode, press the (SELECT)(TEACH) button and hold for longer than 2 seconds. 

To enter mode, hold and press four times. To enter mode, hold and press seven times. Holding and pressing © four times unlocks the sensor from either lock mode and the sensor displays onhogermae .

## Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations 

Optimize reliable detection by applying these principals when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target. 

The robust detection capabilities of the Q4X allows successful detection even under non-ideal conditions in many cases. Typical reference surfaces are metal machine frames, conveyor side rails, or mounted plastic targets. Contact Banner Engineering if you require assistance setting up a stable reference surface in your application. 

For detailed instructions for detecting clear or transparent objects, refer to the Instruction Manual, p/n 190074. 

1. Select a reference surface with these characteristics where possible:

Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

   - Matte or diffuse surface finish 

   - Fixed surface with no vibration 

- Dry surface with no build-up of oil, water, or dust 

- 2. Position the reference surface between 50 mm and the maximum sensing range for threaded barrel models or between 60 mm and the maximum sensing range for flush mount models. 

3. Position the target to be detected as close to the sensor as possible, and as far away from the reference surface as possible. 

4. Angle the sensing beam relative to the target and relative to the reference surface 10 degrees or more.
