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

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:
• Two-point analog teach 2-Pt —Sets the distance values associated with 0V and 10V (4mA and 20mA) based on taught target dis-
tances
• One point analog teach 1-Pt —Sets the 5V (12mA) midpoint of the analog output to center the analog output around a reference tar-
get position
• Two-point static background suppression 2-Pt (discrete, channel 2 only)—Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point. The sensor
sets the switch point between two taught target distances.
• Dynamic background suppression dYn (discrete, channel 2 only)—Dynamic TEACH sets a single switch point during machine run
conditions. The sensor takes multiple samples and the switch point is set between the minimum and the maximum sampled dis-
tances.
• One-point window (foreground suppression) FGS (discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point window sets a window (two switch points)
centered around the taught target distance.
• One-point background suppression bGS (discrete, channel 2 only)—One-point background suppression sets a single switch point in
front of the taught target distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
• Dual intensity + distance duAL (discrete, channel 2 only)—Dual mode records the distance and amount of light received from the ref-
erence surface. See "Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations" on page
surface. The output 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 slowly.
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 flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run
mode.
NOTE: When FGS mode is selected, manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical threshold window simul-
taneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the center point of the win-
dow.
NOTE: When dual mode is selected, after the TEACH process is completed, use the manual adjustment to adjust the
sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught reference point is a combination of the mea-
sured 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 - decreases the sensitivity. When re-positioning
the sensor or changing the reference target, re-teach 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.
