2 Installation2.1 Sensor OrientationOptimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. Toensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.Figure 3. Optimal Orientation of Target to SensorSee the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may poseproblems for sensing some targets. The Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidenceand still provide reliable detection performance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distancerequired for each case, refer toPerformance Curves on page 33.IncorrectCorrectCCFigure 4. Orientation by a wallCCIncorrectCorrectFigure 5.

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 tightenthe 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.Q5X Laser Triangulation Sensor with Background Suppression6 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1.763.544.3164
