Page 3: Product Description
™ The Q3X Sensor is an Expert laser diffuse contrast sensor for low contrast detection application. Some models of the Q3X are able to ignore targets beyond a factory-set background suppression distance. This innovative combination of low contrast diffuse sensing of targets while ignoring objects beyond the region of interest eliminates the biggest problem of diffuse mode sensing, namely changing background conditions affecting the contrast detection. -

Sensor Programming on page 9 for programming instructions. - Page 6 Q3X Laser Contrast Sensor 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.
