2.1. Sensor Orientation
Optimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure reliable detection,
orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.
Figure 1: Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor
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 detection perfor-
mance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each case, refer to Typical Performance Curves on
page 32.
2.2. Mount the Device
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting
screws at this time.
3. Check the device alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

1. 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.
