Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor

Installation

Install the Safety Label
The safety label must be installed on Q4X sensors that are used in the United
States.
Note: Position the label on the cable in a location that has
minimal chemical exposure.
1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label.
2. Wrap the label around the Q4X cable, as shown.
3. Press the two halves of the label together.

Sensor Orientation

Optimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure
reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.
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 Q4X can be used in the less preferred orientation and provide reliable detection
performance; refer to the Performance Curves for the minimum object separation distance required for each case.

Mount the Device
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the
mounting screws at this time.
3. Check the device alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

Applying tilt to sensor may improve performance on reflective targets. The direction and magnitude of the tilt depends on the application, but a 15° tilt is often sufficient.
