Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor
Quick Start Guide
Class 1 laser CMOS sensor with a discrete (PNP or NPN) output. Patent pending.
This guide is designed to help you set up and install the Q4X Sensor. For complete information on programming, performance,
troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction Manual at www.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n
181483 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumes familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.
For illustration purposes, the threaded barrel model Q4X images are used throughout this document.
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.

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
has not been taught.

Output Indicator
On—Outputs conducting (closed)
Off—Outputs not conducting (open)
Stability Indicator (STB)
On—Stable signal within the specified sensing range
Flashing—Marginal signal, the target is outside the limits
of the specified sensing range, or a multiple peak
condition exists
Off—No target detected within the specified sensing
range

    The robust detection capabilities of the Q4X 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.
