BasicTEACHInstructions
UsethefollowinginstructionstoteachtheQ5Xsensor.Theinstructionsprovidedonthesensordisplayvarydependingonthetypeof
TEACHmodeselected.Two-point TEACH is the default TEACH mode.
See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. The TEACH modes include:
Twopointstaticbackgroundsuppression —TwopointTEACHsetsasingleswitchpoint.The sensor sets the switch point
between two taught target distances, relative to the shifted origin location.
Dynamicbackgroundsuppression —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 distances.
Onepointwindow(foregroundsuppression) —One-point window sets a window (two switch points) centered around the
taught target distance.
Onepointbackgroundsuppression —Onepointbackgroundsuppressionsetsasingleswitchpointinfrontofthetaughttar
get distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
Dualintensity+distance —Dualmoderecordsthedistanceandamountoflightreceivedfromthereferencesurface.
See"Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations" on page 16formoreinformationaboutselectingareferencesurface.Theout
put 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.
NOTE: When FGS mode is selected (FGS indicator is on), manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical
threshold window simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the
centerpointofthewindow.
NOTE: When dual mode is selected (DYN, FGS, and BGS indicators are on), after the TEACH process is completed,
usethemanualadjustmenttoadjustthesensitivityofthethresholdsaroundthetaughtreferencepoint.Thetaughtref
erence point is a combination of the measured 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-decreas
es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.
ToenterLocmode,hold+andpress-fourtimes.Toenter0Locmode,hold+andpress-seventimes.Holding+andpressing-fourtimes
