Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" (QS30EDV W/30). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see "QS30EDV Accessories" on page 16. ## Overview The QS30EDV is an easy-to-use diffuse-mode sensor. It provides highperformance sensing in low-contrast applications. Its visible red beam provides easy sensor alignment. The sensor offers multiple configuration options, in © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com page 3 of 19 19-Aug-25 QS30EDV Expert Diffuse-Mode Sensor Features addition to manual fine adjustment, remote programming, and security lockout options. The sensor features bipolar outputs, one each NPN and PNP. The sensor’s compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bar graph display plus bright LEDs for easy configuration and status monitoring during operation. LEDs 1 through 4 of the bar graph display also show configuration status during setup. The sensor can be side-mounted, using its integral mounting holes, or front-mounted, via its 30 mm threaded barrel. ## Bar Graph Indicator Functions Run Mode . The lighted bar graph segment represents relative distance from the cutoff point. Its behavior depends on whether a sensing window or a sensing threshold is taught. **==> picture [335 x 149] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Chapter 3 Sensor Configuration Configure the sensor configuration by using the TEACH or Set options, plus Setup mode. After TEACH or Set have defined the sensing parameters, use the Setup mode to enable the delay, to change the Light Operate/Dark Operate status, or to select the high-speed response option (HS). After TEACH or Set have defined the sensing parameters, use the Setup mode to enable the delay or to change the Light Operate/Dark Operate status. Use the Manual Adjust to fine-tune the thresholds. Two push buttons, Dynamic (+) and Static (-), or the remote wire, may be used to access and set the parameters. Sensor configuration options include: - Two-Point Static TEACH: a single switching threshold, determined by two taught conditions - Dynamic (on-the-fly) TEACH: a single switching threshold, determined by multiple sampled conditions - Window Set: a sensing window, centered on a single sensing condition - Light Set and Dark Set: a single switching threshold, offset from a single sensing condition In light operate (LO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns the same or more light to the sensor and OFF when the sensor detects less light than the configured/taught target. In dark operate (DO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns less light to the sensor than the configured target and OFF when the sensor detects more light than the configured/ taught target. In diffuse sensing modes, light operate means the output is on when the target is present and within the sensing range. Dark operate means the output is on when no target is detected. ## Remote Configuration The remote function can be used to configure the sensor remotely or to disable the push button for security. Connect the gray wire of the sensor to ground (0 V DC), with a remote programming switch connected between them. Pulse the remote line according to the diagrams in the configuration procedures. The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T where: 0.04 seconds ≤ “T” ≤ 0.8 seconds ## Returning to Run Mode Configuration modes each may be exited either after the 60-second time-out or by exiting the process in one of the two following ways: - In static TEACH or SET modes, press and hold the Static (-) button (or hold the remote line) for 2 seconds. The sensor returns to Run mode without saving any new settings. - In SETUP mode, press and hold both the Static (-) and Dynamic (+) buttons (or hold the remote line) for 2 seconds. The sensor returns to Run mode and saves the current setting. © Banner Engineering Corp.

## Dynamic TEACH and Adaptive Thresholds - Teach on-the-fly - Sets a single switching threshold (switching point) - Threshold position is adjustable using “+” and “-” buttons (Manual Adjust) - Recommended for applications where a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. Dynamic TEACH is a variation of two-point TEACH. It programs the sensor during actual machine run conditions, taking multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically setting the threshold at the optimum level. **==> picture [167 x 108] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Dynamic TEACH activates the sensor’s adaptive threshold system, which continuously tracks minimum and maximum signal levels, and automatically maintains centering of the threshold between the light and dark conditions. The adaptive threshold system remains in effect during Run mode. The adaptive routine saves to non-volatile memory at least once per hour. When Dynamic TEACH mode is used, the output ON state (Light or Dark Operate) will remain as it was last programmed. To change the output ON state, use Setup Mode. The sensing threshold may be adjusted (fine-tuned) whenever the sensor is in RUN mode by clicking the “+” and “-” buttons. However, when a manual adjustment is made, the adaptive threshold system is disabled (cancelled).

Single-Point Set designates a sensing window, by setting two switching thresholds at 12.5% above and below the presented condition. The Output ON condition is inside the window, and the Output OFF conditions are outside the window when Light Operate is selected. Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/Dark Operate status in Setup mode. For the button or the remote wire, a button click or pulse is: 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds.

## Enabling or Disabling the Push Button In addition to its programming function, the remote line may be used to disable the push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents undesired tampering with the sensor configuration settings. 1. Connect the sensor’s gray wire. 2. Four-pulse the remote line to enable or disable the push button. The sensor toggles between enable and disable settings and returns to RUN mode. © Banner Engineering Corp.
