Banner Q3XTBLD-Q8 - Sensor Indicators and Controls; Output, Stability, and Teach Indicators; Button Functions

A displayed value of indicates no light received or a loss of signal.
In Window Set teach mode, the value 100 represents the taught signal strength. The displayed value is the percentage of
the received light divided by the taught signal strength. The output switches at displayed values above and below 100 as
determined by the user-selected window offset percentage.
Output Indicator
• On—Outputs conducting (closed)
• Off—Outputs not conducting (open)
Stability Indicator (STB)
• On—Stable light signal received
• Flashing—Light intensity is within the switching threshold hysteresis band
• Off—No light signal received
Active TEACH Indicators (DYN and WND)
• DYN and WND off—Two-Point Static , Light Set, or Dark Set TEACH mode selected (Two-Point Static TEACH is the

• DYN and/or WND flashing—The sensor is in TEACH mode.
• DYN on—Dynamic TEACH mode selected
• WND on—Symmetric Window thresholds are active. The switch points are above and below 100 by the offset
percentage
