L-GAGE™ Q50 Series with Analog Output

LED-Based Linear Displacement Sensor with Analog Output and TEACH-Mode

Programming

Printed in USA 03/01 P/N 64323 Rev. A

L-GAGE Q50 Analog Output Sensor Features

• Fast, easy-to-use TEACH-Mode programming; no potentiometer adjustments

• Selectable output response speeds: 4 milliseconds or 64 milliseconds (see hookup)

•Teach a sensing window size and position, or a set-point threshold centered within

a 100 mm window

•Two sensing ranges, depending on model: 100 to 300 mm (visible red beam

models), and 100 to 400 mm (infrared beam models)

• Sensor linearity is better than 3 mm

• Banner’s patented scalable analog output (U.S. patent #6,122,039) automatically

distributes the output signal over the width of the programmed sensing window

• Analog output slope can be either positive or negative, depending upon which

window limit is programmed first

•Two bicolor Status LEDs

• Choose 2 meter or 9 meter unterminated cable, or swivel 5-pin Euro-style QD

connector

• Rugged construction withstands demanding sensing environments; rated IEC IP67,

NEMA 6

• Select models with either visible red or infrared beam

• Select models with either a 0-10V or 4-20 mA output

WARNING . . .

Not To Be Used for

Personnel Protection

Never use these products as

sensing devices for personnel protection.

Doing so could lead to serious injury or

death.

These sensors do NOT include the self-

checking redundant circuitry necessary to

allow their use in personnel safety

applications. A sensor failure or

malfunction can cause either an energized

or de-energized sensor output condition.

Consult your current Banner Safety

Products catalog for safety products which

meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for

personnel protection.

L-GAGE Q50 – Analog Output Sensor L-GAGE Q50 Analog Output Sensor Overview The Q50 is an easy-to-use triangulation sensor which provides a sophisticated, yet cost-effective solution for demanding measurement applications. Q50 Series sensors feature compact, all-in-one design and require no separate controller. Near and far sensing window limits are set quickly using simple push-button or remote signal TEACH-mode programming.

L-GAGE Q50 – Analog Output Sensor Teaching Analog Limits Using a Fixed 100 mm Window For some analog applications, a sensing distance set point centered within a sensing window is required. The TEACH procedure is simple: teaching the same limit twice causes the sensor to program a window centered on the position taught. This window is 100 mm wide (taught position ±50 mm).

L-GAGE Q50 – Analog Output Sensor Installation Notes Some targets (those with a stepped plane facing the sensor, a boundary line, or rounded targets) pose specific problems for sensing distances. For such applications, see Figure 8 for suggested mounting orientations. Recommended NOT Recommended Figure 8.
