Q4X Stainless Steel Analog Laser Sensor
Quick Start Guide
Class 1 laser CMOS analog sensor with an analog output. Patent pending.
This guide is designed to help you set up and install the Q4X Analog Sensor. For complete information on programming,
performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction Manual at
www.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n 185624 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumes
familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.
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. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

    Pulse Duration: 7 µs to 2 ms Installation Install the Safety Label The safety label must be installed on Q4X sensors that are used in the United States. NOTE: Position the label on the cable in a location that has minimal chemical exposure.
  • Page 3: Sensor Orientation

    Q4X Stainless Steel Analog Laser Sensor Sensor Orientation Optimize detection reliability and performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected. Figure 5. Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor See the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may pose problems for sensing some targets.
  • Page 4: Cleaning And Maintenance

    Q4X Stainless Steel Analog Laser Sensor NOTE: The input wire function is user-selectable; see the Instruction Manual for details. The default for the input wire function is off (disabled). NOTE: Shielded cordsets are recommended for all models with quick disconnect fittings. It is recommended that the shield wire be connected to -V dc (the blue wire).
