Manual Adjustments; Locking And Unlocking The Sensor Buttons - Banner Q5X Quick Start Manual

Q5X with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link Quick Start Guide
Basic TEACH Instructions
Use the following instructions to teach the Q5X sensor. The instructions provided on the sensor display vary depending on the type of
TEACH mode selected. Two-point TEACH is the default TEACH mode.
1. Press and hold TEACH for longer than 2 seconds to start the selected TEACH mode.
2. Present the target.
3. Press TEACH to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor waits for the second target, if required by the selected TEACH
mode, or returns to Run mode.
4. Complete these steps only if it is required for the selected TEACH mode.
a. Present the second target.
b. Press TEACH to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor returns to Run mode.
See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. The TEACH modes include:
• Two­point static background suppression
between two taught target distances, relative to the shifted origin location.
• Dynamic background suppression
takes multiple samples and the switch point is set between the minimum and the maximum sampled distances.
• One­point window (foreground suppression)
taught target distance.
• One­point background suppression
get distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
• Dual intensity + distance
See "Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations" on page
put switches when an object passing between the sensor and the reference surface changes the perceived distance or amount of
returned light.
Manual Adjustments
Manually adjust the sensor switch point using the + and - buttons.
1. From Run mode, press either + or - one time. The selected channel displays briefly, then the current switch point value flashes slow­
ly.
2. Press + to move the switch point up or - to move the switch point down. After 1 second of inactivity, the new switch point value flash­
es rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode.
NOTE: When FGS mode is selected (FGS indicator is on), manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical
threshold window simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the
center point of the window.
NOTE: When dual mode is selected (DYN, FGS, and BGS indicators are on), after the TEACH process is completed,
use the manual adjustment to adjust the sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught ref­
erence point is a combination of the measured distance and returned signal intensity from the reference target. Manual
adjustment does not move the taught reference point, but pressing + increases the sensitivity, and pressing - decreas­
es the sensitivity. When re­positioning the sensor or changing the reference target, re­teach the sensor.

Locking and Unlocking the Sensor Buttons

Use the lock and unlock feature to prevent unauthorized or accidental programming changes.
Three settings are available:
• —The sensor is unlocked and all settings can be modified (default).
• —The sensor is locked and no changes can be made.
• —The switch point value can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no sensor settings can be changed through
the menu.
When the sensor is in either Loc or 0Loc mode, the active channel can be changed using (+) (CH1/CH2).
When in Loc mode, Loc displays when the (SELECT)(TEACH) button is pressed. The switch point displays when (+) (CH1/CH2) or (-)
(MODE) are pressed, but Loc displays if the buttons are pressed and held.
When in 0Loc mode, Loc displays when (-)(MODE) is pressed and held. To access the manual adjust options, briefly press and re­
lease (+) (CH1/CH2) or (-)(MODE). To enter TEACH mode, press the (SELECT)(TEACH) button and hold for longer than 2 seconds.
To enter Loc mode, hold + and press - four times. To enter 0Loc mode, hold + and press - seven times. Holding + and pressing - four times
unlocks the sensor from either lock mode and the sensor displays uLoc.
