fluorescent
light interference
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel
Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel
protection.
Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications.
A sensor failure or
malfunction
can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output
condition.

1.2 Overview
The Q3X Sensor is an Expert
™
laser
diffuse
contrast sensor for low contrast
detection
application.
Some models of the Q3X are able to
ignore targets beyond a factory-set background suppression distance. This
innovative
combination
of low contrast
diffuse
sensing of
targets while ignoring objects beyond the region of interest eliminates the biggest problem of
diffuse
mode sensing, namely changing
background
conditions
affecting
the contrast
detection.
The normal sensor state is Run mode. From Run mode, the switch point value can be changed and the selected TEACH method can be
performed. The secondary sensor state is Setup mode. From Setup mode, the TEACH mode can be selected, all standard
operating
parameters can be adjusted, and a factory reset can be done.
