3.7 Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output

The Q5X can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor's measured distance, thereby providing a
method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100
to 600 Hz (100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit). An output of 50 Hz
represents a Loss of Signal (

3.8 Sync Master/Slave

Two Q5X sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors,
configure one sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements
and the response speed doubles.
Important: The master sensor and the slave sensor must be programmed for the same Response Speed
and Gain and Sensitivity settings. The master sensor and slave sensor must share a common power
source.
1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate:
2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate:
3. Connect the white wires of the two sensors together.
