Installation

Install the Safety Label

The safety label must be installed on Q3X sensors that are used in the United

States.

Note: Position the label on the cable in a location that has

minimal chemical exposure.

1. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive on the label.

2. Wrap the label around the Q3X cable, as shown.

3. Press the two halves of the label together.

Sensor Orientation

Correct sensor-to-target orientation is important to ensure proper

sensing. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in

relation to the target to be detected.

For models with background suppression, make sure the intended target

is inside of the contrast sensing range and that any background objects

are positioned beyond the background suppression distance.

Sensor Mounting

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 at this

time.

3. Check the sensor alignment.

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