Pressing SELECT again changes the display back to the measured distance. The totalizer count automatically resets after reteaching the switch point distance or turning the sensor off. Hysteresis (hYS1 and hYS2) Use this menu to set the hysteresis distance around the switch point. • —The sensor automatically selects a recommended minimum hysteresis distance relative to the current switch point distance, • to —Enter a userselectable value (cm) of hysteresis distance relative to the current switch point distance. Set Distance—The distance from the reference surface that allows stable use, including the effects of temperature and volt age, to the (standard) sensing object transit position. This is approximately 70% to 80% of the normal (rated) sensing dis tance. Set Distance Set Distance Hysteresis (Differential Travel)—With respect to the distance between the standard sensing object and the sensor, the differ ence between the distance at which the sensor operates and the distance at which the sensor resets. ...
Q5X With Dual Discrete Outputs And IO-Link Instruction Manual NOTE: Smaller hysteresis values cause the output to switch state with less differential travel. A larger hysteresis value makes the output state to remain unchanged with larger differential travel. Negative hys teresis values allow the operator to move the hysteresis to either side of the switch point. Zero Reference Location (ZEro) Use this menu to select the zeroreference location. Changing the zeroreference location only affects the readout on the dis play and does not affect the output. The default is nEAr, 0 = the front of the sensor. This menu is not available in dual (intensity + distance) mode. —0 is the front of the sensor and the measurement increases further from the sensor. —0 is the maximum range and the measurement increases closer to the sensor. Shift the Zero Reference Location after a TEACH (ShFt) Use this menu to select whether the sensor shifts the zeroreference location based on the last TEACH process. ...

Q5X With Dual Discrete Outputs And IO-Link Instruction Manual ◦ Matte or diffuse surface finish ◦ Fixed surface with no vibration ◦ Dry surface with no buildup of oil, water, or dust Position the reference surface between 200 mm (20 cm) and the maximum sensing range. Position the target to be detected as close to the sensor as possible, and as far away from the reference surface as possible. Angle the sensing beam relative to the target and relative to the reference surface 10 degrees or more. 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. The Q5X sensor can be taught nonideal reference surfaces, such as surfaces outside of the sensor range or very dark sur faces. Teaching non-ideal reference surfaces may enable applications other than transparent or clear object detection, but best results for transparent or clear object detection require a stable reference surface. ...
