Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor

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. From Setup mode, the TEACH mode can be selected, all standard operating
parameters can be adjusted, and a factory reset can be done.

1.3.1 Display and Indicators

The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. The main screen is the Run mode screen.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in millimeters. For dual
TEACH mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of
indicates the sensor has not been taught.
