**----- End of picture text -----**
**==> picture [166 x 104] intentionally omitted <==**
See the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may pose problems for sensing some targets. The Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidence and still provide reliable detection performance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each case, refer to "Typical Performance Curves" on page 10.

## Basic TEACH Instructions
Use the following instructions to teach the Q5X 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.

Q5X Laser Triangulation Sensor with Analog Outputs and IO-Link Quick Start Guide
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.
4. Complete these steps only if it is required for the selected TEACH mode.
- a. Present the second target.
- b. 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 analog teach 2-Pt —Sets the distance values associated with 0V and 10V (4mA and 20mA) based on taught target distances
- One point analog teach 1-Pt —Sets the 5V (12mA) midpoint of the analog output to center the analog output around a reference target position
- Two-point static background suppression 2-Pt (discrete, channel 2 only)—Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point. The sensor sets the switch point between two taught target distances.
- Dynamic background suppression dYn (discrete, channel 2 only)—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) FGS (discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point window sets a window (two switch points) centered around the taught target distance.
- One-point background suppression bGS (discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point background suppression sets a single switch point in front of the taught target distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
- Dual intensity + distance duAL (discrete, channel 2 only)—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, 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, 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 repositioning 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:
- —The sensor is unlocked and all settings can be modified (default).
- —The sensor is locked and no changes can be made.
- —The switch point value can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no sensor settings can be changed through
- the menu.
When the sensor is in either Loc or 0Loc mode, the active channel can be changed using (+)(CH1/CH2) .
When in Loc mode, Loc displays when the (SELECT)(TEACH) button is pressed. The switch point displays when (+)(CH1/CH2) or (-) (MODE) are pressed, but Loc displays if the buttons are pressed and held.
When in 0Loc mode, Loc 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 Loc mode, hold + and press - four times. To enter 0Loc mode, hold + and press - seven times. Holding + and pressing - four times unlocks the sensor from either lock mode and the sensor displays uLoc .

## Averaging
Use the Averaging AUG 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 16. 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.

Class 2 Laser Description and Safety Information
Laser light. Do not stare into the beam. **CLASS 2** Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations **LASER PRODUCT** pursuant to Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019. (| CAUTION: • Never stare directly into the sensor lens. • Laser light can damage your eyes. • Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target.
- CAUTION: • Return defective units to the manufacturer. • Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
- • Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer.
- CAUTION: • Ne regardez jamais directement la lentille du capteur. • La lumière laser peut endommager la vision. • Évitez de placer un objet réfléchissant (de type miroir) dans la trajectoire du faisceau. N'utilisez jamais de miroir comme cible rétro-réfléchissante.
- CAUTION: • Tout dispositif défectueux doit être renvoyé au fabricant. • L'utilisation de commandes, de réglages ou de procédures autres que celles décrites dans le présent document peut entraîner une exposition dangereuse aux radiations.
- • N'essayez pas de démonter ce capteur pour le réparer. Tout dispositif défectueux doit être renvoyé au fabricant.
Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Complies with IEC 60825-1:2014 and EN 60825-1:2014+A11:2021.
Class 2 Laser Safety Notes . Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 nm to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their natural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.
For safe laser use:
- Do not stare at the laser.
- Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.

## Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations
Optimize reliable detection by applying these principles when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target.
The robust detection capabilities of the Q5X 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 219602.
1. Select a reference surface with these characteristics where possible:
- 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 200 mm (20 cm) and the maximum sensing range.
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.
## 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.
