pertinent industry standards and practices.
WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-
energized (off) output condition.
Features
The Q5X has three major features.
Figure 1. Q5X Features
1. Two output indicators (amber)
2. Display
3. Buttons
Display and Indicators
The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. Run mode is the primary view displayed.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in centimeters. For Dual TEACH
mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of indicates the sensor
has not been taught.
Figure 2. Display in Run Mode
1. Stability Indicator (STB—Green)
2. Active TEACH Indicators
• DYN—Dynamic (Amber)
• FGS—Foreground Suppression (Amber)
• BGS—Background Suppression (Amber)
Output Indicator
• On—Output is on
• Off—Output is off
Stability Indicator (STB)
• On—Stable signal within the specified sensing range
• Flashing—Marginal signal (low excess gain), the target
is outside the limits of the specified sensing range, or a
multiple peak condition exists
• Off—No target detected within the specified sensing
range
Active TEACH Indicators (DYN, FGS, and BGS)
• DYN, FGS, and BGS all off—Two-point TEACH mode
selected (default)
• DYN on—Dynamic TEACH mode selected
• FGS on—Foreground suppression TEACH mode
selected
• BGS on—Background suppression TEACH mode
selected
• DYN, FGS, and BGS all on—Dual TEACH mode
selected
