Q5X Laser Triangulation Sensor with Dual Mode
for Jam Detection
Quick Start Guide
Class 2 laser CMOS sensor with dual outputs. Patent pending.
This guide is designed to help you set up and install the Q5X Laser Triangulation Sensor with Dual Mode for Jam Detection. For
complete information on programming, performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction
Manual at www.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n 218902 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumes
familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.
WARNING:
Do not use this device for personnel protection
Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-
energized (off) output condition.
Features
The Q5X has three major features.

Display and Indicators
The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. Run mode is the primary view displayed.
For JRET, JBGS, 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in centimeters. For
Dual TEACH mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of
the sensor has not been taught.

  • Page 3 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 Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidence and still provide reliable detection performance due to its high excess gain.

    The robust detection capabilities of the Q5X 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.
