LASER LIGHT
DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM
CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
IEC 60825-1:2014. Wavelength
640-670nm; 1.0mW max. Complies with
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for
conformance with IEC 60825-1: 2014
as described in Laser Notice
No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
Installation
Sensor Orientation
Optimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure reliable detec-
tion, 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 Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidence and still provide reliable detec-
tion performance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each case, refer
to "Typical Performance Curves" on page

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.
