1.2 Overview
The Q4X Analog Sensor is a Class 1 laser CMOS measuring sensor that uses a 0 to 10 V (4 to 20 mA) output to represent the distance
measured.
When the sensor is in Run mode, the display shows the current measurement reading or corresponding analog output value. The size
and location of the analog output window can be manually adjusted or the selected TEACH method can be performed.
When the sensor is in Setup mode, all standard operating parameters, including TEACH mode, analog slope, response time, and more
can be adjusted, or a factory reset can be performed.
1 QD models require a mating cordset.

2.3 Mount the Sensor

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 the
mounting screws at this time.
2 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.

3. Check the sensor alignment.

4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) in the aligned position.

wire be connected to -V dc (the blue wire).
2.5 Cleaning and Maintenance

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. may create
stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. Blow the window clear using filtered, compressed air, then clean as
necessary using water and a lint-free cloth.

3 Sensor Programming
Program the sensor using the buttons on the sensor or the remote input (limited programming options).
In addition to programming the sensor, use the remote input to disable the buttons for security, preventing unauthorized or accidental
programming changes. See Locking and Unlocking the Sensor Buttons on page 18 for more information.

repeatability, but increases the total response speed. The default is 1. The filter can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512. Use
the table to determine the total response speed.

3.1.4 Slope
Use this menu to set the slope as positive or negative. This swaps the 0 V and 10 V (4 and 20 mA) values. The default is positive. The
slope is defined relative to the zero reference, so if the zero setting is changed from near to far, a slope will be considered positive if the
analog output increases as the target becomes closer to the face of the sensor.

3.1.5 Zero Reference Location

Use this menu to select the zero reference location. The default is , 0 = the front of the sensor.
• —0 = the front of the sensor; the measurement increases further from the sensor
• —0 = maximum range; the measurement increases closer to the sensor
3.1.6 Shift the Zero Reference Location after a TEACH

Use this menu to select whether the sensor shifts the zero reference location based on the last TEACH process. The default is ,0
= the front of the sensor or the maximum range.
• —Shift the zero reference location to one of the taught positions with each TEACH
• —0 = the front of the sensor or the maximum range, depending on the setting
This figure illustrates three examples of how changes to the zero and shift settings affect what distance readout is shown on the display
when in 2-pt TEACH mode. Changes to the zero setting affect the direction in which the distance increases. Turning the shift setting on
sets the taught location as the reference point for any distance measurement. For two-point TEACH, this is the 0 V (4 mA) point. For
one-point TEACH, this is the 5 V (12 mA) point.

3.1.7 Loss of Signal

Use this menu to select the Analog Output value used by the sensor during a loss of signal. When a signal is restored, measurement
resumes. The default is 0 V (4 mA).
Option Description
0 V (4 mA)—default The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced
measurements are enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the release
of the trigger input. For Voltage models, this is 0 V (4 mA). (Default)
10.5 V (20.5 mA) The Analog Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal. When advanced
measurements are enabled, the Analog Output is updated to this value immediately upon the release
of the trigger input. For Voltage models, this is 10.5 V (20.5 mA).
Hold The Analog Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal. When advanced
measurements are enabled, the last value is held across the triggered measurement periods.
The Range advanced measurement behavior is affected by the Loss of Signal option. For additional information on advanced
measurements, see Trigger on page 14. The Range advanced measurement tracks a maximum and a minimum during the
measurement period, and calculates the range as follows:
Range = maximum distance – minimum distance

If the maximum and/or minimum measurements are outside of the taught range values, the Loss of Signal option determines how the
range is calculated.
Option Sensor Behavior in Range Mode
0 V (4 mA) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught range values, the sensor outputs 0
V (4 mA) to indicate an out of range measurement.
10.5 V (20.5 mA) If the maximum or minimum measurement is outside of the taught range values, the sensor outputs
10.5 V (20.5 mA) to indicate an out of range measurement.
Hold The sensor limits the maximum and minimum measurements so that they cannot exceed the taught
range values.
3.1.8 Input Wire Function

Use this menu to select the input wire function. The default is off, ignore all remote input pulses.
• —Ignore all remote input pulses
• —Remote TEACH input
• —Laser off when pulled low
• —Laser on when pulled low
• —Master sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
• —Slave sync line input for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
• —Trigger mode for advanced measurements (see Trigger on page 14)
To configure sensors for master-slave operation, see Sync Master/Slave on page 21.
3.1.9 Trigger
The Trigger option sets the advanced measurement that is calculated when a trigger event is detected on the remote input. The analog
output updates with the new advanced measurement on each trigger event. To use these Trigger options, the sensor Input Type option
must be set to .
Trigger Submenus Description

Active low, connect the gray input wire to ground (0 V dc), with a remote switch connected between the wire and ground. Pulse the
remote input according to the diagram and the instructions provided in this manual.
The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T: 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds.
Exit remote programming modes by setting the remote input low for longer than 2 seconds.
Remote Input = Set

3.4 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 value associated with 0 V (4 mA) and 10 V (20 mA ) can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no
sensor settings can be changed through the menu.
When in mode, displays when the (SELECT)(TEACH) button is pressed. The analog point displays when (+)(DISP) or (-)
(MODE) are pressed, but displays if the buttons are pressed and held.
When in mode, displays when (+)(DISP) or (-)(MODE) are pressed and held. To access the manual adjust options,
briefly press and release (+)(DISP) or (-)(MODE). To enter TEACH mode, press the (SELECT)(TEACH) button and hold for longer than 2
seconds.
Button Instructions
To enter mode, hold and press four times. To enter mode, hold and press seven times. Holding

3.5.2 One-Point TEACH

One-point TEACH mode defines the span of the analog output. One-point TEACH also defines the 5 V (12 mA) midpoint of the analog
output to center the analog output around a reference target position.

3.6 Sync Master/Slave

Two Q4X sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors, configure one
sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed
doubles.
Important: The master sensor and the slave sensor must be programmed for the same Base Response Speed setting. The master
sensor and slave sensor must share a common power source.
1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate: > .

2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate: > .
3. Connect the gray (input) wires of the two sensors together.
