Temperature-compensated design ensures reliable detection during changing temperature conditions For illustration purposes, the threaded barrel model Q4X images are used throughout this document. WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. -
Page 4: Overview
1.2 Overview The Q4X Sensor is a Class 1 laser CMOS sensor with a bipolar output. The normal sensor state is Run mode. From Run mode, the switch point value and LO/DO selection can be changed and the selected TEACH method can be performed. The secondary sensor state is Setup mode. -

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 Q4X can be used in the less preferred orientation and provide reliable detection performance; refer to the Performance Curves for the minimum object separation distance required for each case. -

(intensity). In dual mode, the Q4X requires a reference surface (far left). Once taught, the distance and intensity of the reference surface are recorded and used as a baseline. A user adjustable switching threshold is set, and changes in distance and/or intensity outside the switching threshold creates a sensor output change. -
