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. For the minimum object separation distance re...

Standard adaptive tracking adjusts the thresholds around slowly changing background and environmental conditions.
Rate (ms) When lateral entry needs to be considered, the lateral entry response is added to calculate the total response time. NOTE: The Q5X uses a dynamic measurement rate, so these response times are worstcase. Output Timing Delays Use this menu to select the output timing delay to be set.

(intensity). In dual mode, the Q5X requires a reference surface (far left). Once taught, the distance and intensity of the reference surface are recorded and used as a baseline. A user-adjustable switching threshold is set, and changes in distance and/or intensity outside the switching threshold creates a sensor output change.
Dual Mode Considerations for Clear and Transparent Object Detection The Q5X is able to detect the very small changes caused by transparent and clear objects. A transparent object can be de tected either by a change in intensity, distance, or by a doublepeak reflection.
