Page 3: Product Description
1.2 Overview The Q4X sensor with dual discrete outputs and IO-Link is a Class 1 laser CMOS sensor with an IO-Link and multifunction output. The normal sensor state is Run mode. From Run mode, the switch point value and channel selection can be changed and the selected TEACH method can be performed. -

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. -

Values increase or decrease by 0.1 mm (100/110 mm models) or 0.2 mm (300/310/600/610 mm models). For BGS mode, the default is Auto because the Q4X automatically selects where to position the switch point. For FGS mode, the default is 0 because the window is centered around the taught target. -

(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. - Page 37 Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link The Q4X sensor can be taught non-ideal reference surfaces, such as surfaces outside of the sensor range or very dark surfaces. Teaching non-ideal reference surfaces may enable applications other than transparent or clear object detection, but best results for transparent or clear object detection require a stable reference surface.
