Laser Description and Safety Information
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure. Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective
unit must be returned to the manufacturer.
Laser wavelength: 655 nm
Output: < 0.42 mW
Pulse Duration: 5 µs
Installation
Install the Safety Label
The safety label must be installed on Q3X sensors that are used in the
United States.
NOTE: Position the label on the cable in a location that
has minimal chemical exposure.
1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label.
2. Wrap the label around the Q3X cable, as shown.
3. Press the two halves of the label together.

Sensor Orientation
Correct sensor-to-target orientation is important to ensure proper
sensing. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown
in relation to the target to be detected.
For models with background suppression, make sure the intended
target is inside of the contrast sensing range and that any
background objects are positioned beyond the background
suppression distance.

Sensor Mounting
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the sensor onto the bracket.
2. Mount the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not
tighten at this time.
3. Check the sensor alignment.
4. Tighten the screws to secure the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) in the aligned position.
