## **QS30 Laser Diffuse Overview** 

The QS30 is an easy-to-use, high-performance laser sensor whose many configuration options make it suitable for demanding applications. It provides high-performance sensing in low-contrast applications at relatively long range. It features static, dynamic and single-point TEACH-mode programming, in addition to manual fine adjustment, remote programming and security lockout options. A SETUP mode also may be used to change the sensor’s output response. 

The sensor features two identically configured 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 programming and status monitoring during operation. The sensor can be side-mounted, using its integral mounting holes, or front-mounted, via its 30 mm threaded barrel.

WORLD-BEAM[®] QS30 Diffuse-Mode Laser Sensor 

## **Description of Laser Classes** 

Class 1 Lasers 

Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing. 

Reference IEC 60825-1:2001, Section 8.2. 

Class 2 Lasers 

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. 

Reference IEC 60825-1:2001, Section 8.2. 

## **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 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 (Class 1 or Class 2): 

- Do not stare at the laser. 

- Do not point the laser at a person’s eye. 

- Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical. 

- Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path. 

**CAUTION:** 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. 

## **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 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. 

## **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.

WORLD-BEAM[®] QS30 Diffuse-Mode Laser Sensor 

- 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. 

## **Two-Point Static TEACH (Threshold)** 

- Sets a single switching threshold (switching point) 

- Threshold position is adjustable using “+” and “-” buttons (Manual Adjust). 

- Recommended for applications where two conditions can be presented by the user. 

Two-Point TEACH is the traditional configuration method. The sensor locates a single sensing threshold (switch point) midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side and the Output OFF condition on the other. 

The first condition taught is the ON condition. The Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/Dark Operate status in _Setup Mode_ .

WORLD-BEAM[®] QS30 Diffuse-Mode Laser Sensor 

## **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. 

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). 

|**Bar Graph LED (Following TEACH)**|**Relative Signal Difference/Recommendation**|

WORLD-BEAM[®] QS30 Diffuse-Mode Laser Sensor 

## **Single-Point Window Set** 

- Sets a single ON condition 

- All other conditions (lighter or darker) result in OFF output 

- Sensing window size (sensitivity) is adjustable using “+” and “-” buttons (Manual Adjust) 

Single-Point TEACH is most useful when a product may not always appear in the same place or when other signals may appear. Single-Point TEACH programs a sensing window, with the Output ON condition inside the window, and the Output OFF conditions outside the window. Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/Dark Operate status in SETUP mode. 

**==> picture [158 x 79] intentionally omitted <==**

Sensing window size<br>adjusted by<br>Manual Adjust<br>Output OFF Output ON Output OFF<br>Darkest Single  Most Light<br>(no signal) taught  (saturated<br>point signal)<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Single-Point TEACH programming may be accomplished only using Static TEACH. The sensor learns a single sensing condition, and adds switching thresholds above and below the taught condition to create a sensing window. 

## **Single-Point Window Set and Manual Adjust** 

Using Manual Adjust with Single-Point Window Set expands or contracts the size of the window. The lighted LEDs on the light bar separate to a greater or lesser extent to exhibit the relative sensing window size.

## **Single-Point Light Set** 

- Sets a threshold slightly below the taught condition. 

- Any condition darker than the threshold condition causes the output to change state. 

- Threshold position is adjustable using the “+” and “-” buttons (Manual Adjust). 

- Recommended for applications where only one condition is known, for example a stable light background with varying darker targets. 

A single sensing condition is presented, and the sensor positions a threshold below the presented condition. When a condition darker than the threshold is sensed, the output either turns ON or OFF, depending on the Light/Dark Operate setting (see _Setup Mode_ on page 7).

## **Light Set and Light/Dark Operate Selection** 

In Light Operate mode, Light Set teaches the Output ON condition. In Dark Operate mode, Light Set teaches the Output OFF condition.

WORLD-BEAM[®] QS30 Diffuse-Mode Laser Sensor 

## **Setup Mode** 

SETUP mode is used to change sensor output response for: 

- Light or dark operate 

- 30-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF delay), if required. 

The status LEDs, active only during Setup mode, indicate the output response configuration when the sensor is in Run mode. Four combinations are possible: 

**==> picture [154 x 54] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Press and hold<br>both buttons<br>to access<br>Setup mode<br>Setup mode<br>status indicators<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Light Operate, No Delay Dark Operate, No Delay Dark Operate, 30 ms Delay Light Operate, 30 ms Delay 

To access SETUP mode and change the output response settings: 

1. Press and hold BOTH push buttons (or double-pulse Remote line) until the green LED indicator turns OFF. 

2. Click EITHER push button (or pulse Remote line) to toggle through the four possible setting combinations. 

3. Press and hold both push buttons (or hold Remote line) until the green LED indicator turns ON, indicating return to RUN mode. 

## **NOTE:** 

- If Setup mode programming is interrupted and remains inactive for 60 seconds, the sensor returns to Run mode with the most recent settings (i.e., exits and saves current selection). 

- • Setup mode operates in the “background”, while the outputs are active. 

## **Manual Adjust** 

Manual adjust is used during Run mode via the push buttons only. Its behavior depends on whether a switching threshold or sensing window is used. 

**Switching Threshold** (Static TEACH, Dynamic TEACH, Light Set, and Dark Set): 

- Fine-tunes sensing threshold set-point value 

- Press “+” to increase; press “-” to decrease 

**Sensing Window** (Window Set): 

- Adjusts sensing window size 

- Press “+” to increase; press “-” to decrease 

The lighted bar graph LEDs move to reflect the increase or decrease. 

## **Push Button Disable** 

In addition to its programming function, Remote Programming may be used to disable the **T T T T** push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents undesired tampering with the UUUU **T T T** programming settings. Connect the gray wire of the sensor as described and four-pulse to enable or disable the push buttons. 

## **Reset to Factory Defaults** 

To reset the sensor back to its factory default settings, eight-pulse the remote input wire. 

**T T T T T T T T** UU **T T** UU **T T** UU **T T** UU **T** 

Where T is: `0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds` .
