Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations

Optimize reliable detection by applying these principals when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor

relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target. The robust detection capabilities of the Q4X 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 Q4X Instruction

Manual, p/n 181483.

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 50 mm and 300 mm (50 mm and 100 mm for 100 mm models).

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.
