Overview
The Q60LAF sensor is a full-featured adjustable-field sensor. These adjustable-
field sensors are able to detect objects of relatively low reflectivity, while ignoring
other objects in the background (beyond the cutoff point). The cutoff distance is
mechanically adjustable, using the 2-turn adjustment screw (Figure 1). A rotating
pointer indicates the relative cutoff position. (The indicator moves clockwise to show
increasing distance.) The collimated laser emitter produces a small, bright spot,
allowing easy alignment and precision sensing of relatively small objects at long
range.
Two push buttons (ON Delay and OFF Delay) are used to set the output delay options,
to toggle between light and dark operate modes and to lock out the push buttons for
security purposes. For 10 to 30V dc models, these functions also may be accomplished
using the remote wire.
Seven LED indicators show, during RUN mode, the sensor configuration and
operating status. During Delay Configuration, 5 of the LEDs combine to form a single
light bar that indicates relative ON or OFF delay time.
Adjustable-Field Sensing – Theory of Operation
In operation, the Q60LAF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam (E) from
an object back to the sensor’s two differently-aimed detectors R1 and R2 (see
Figure 2). If the near detector (R1) light signal is stronger than the far detector (R2)
light signal (see object A, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the
object. If the far detector (R2) light signal is stronger than the near detector (R1) light
signal (see object B, object beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object.
The cutoff distance for Q60LAF sensors is adjustable from 200 to 1400 mm
(8" to 55") for Class 1 laser models, and 200 to 2000 mm (8" to 80") for Class 2 laser
models. Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance are ignored.
In the drawings and discussion on this page and page 4, the letters E, R1, and R2
identify how the sensor’s three optical elements (Emitter “E”, Near Detector “R1”,
and Far Detector “R2”) line up across the face of the sensor. The location of these
elements defines the sensing axis (see Figure 3). The sensing axis becomes important
in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.

Color Sensitivity
The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be im por tant for
some ap pli ca tions.
The excess gain curves on page 1 were generated using a white test card of 90%
reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 90% reflect less light back to the
sensor, and thus require pro por tion ate ly more excess gain in order to be sensed
with the same reliability as more reflective objects. When sens ing an object of very
low reflectivity, it may be especially im por tant to sense it at or near the distance of
maximum excess gain.
It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower
reflectance targets will be slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets (see
Figure 4). This behavior is known as color sensitivity.
The percentage of deviation indicates a change in the cutoff point for either 18% gray
or 6% black targets, relative to the cutoff point set for a 90% reflective white test card.
For example, the cutoff point decreases 10% for a 6% reflectance black target when
the cutoff point is adjusted for 1700 mm (67") using a 90% reflectance white test
card. In other words, the cutoff point for the black target is 1530 mm (60") for this
setting.
NOTE: Sensing at closer than the minimum specified range is not guaranteed.

Setting the Cutoff Distance
The cutoff distance for Q60LAF sensors may be adjusted between 200 mm and
1400 mm (8" to 55") for Class 1 laser models, and between 200 mm and 2000 mm
(8" to 80") for Class 2 laser models.
To maximize contrast, position the lightest possible background to be used, at the
closest position it will come to the sensor during use (Figure 5). Using a small
screwdriver in the adjustment screw, adjust the cutoff distance until the threshold
is reached and the green Light Sensed indicator changes state. (If the indicator
never comes ON, the background is beyond the maximum sensing cutoff and will be
ignored.) Note the position of the rotating cutoff position indicator at this position.
Then repeat the procedure, using the darkest target, placed in its most distant
position for sensing. Adjust the cutoff so that the indicator is midway between the two
positions (Figure 6).
NOTE: Setting the cutoff distance adjustment screw to its maximum clockwise
position places the receiver lens directly in front of the receiver elements and
results in the Q60 performing as a long-range diffuse sensor.
Sensing Reliabilty
For highest sensitivity, the sensor should be mounted so that the target object will be
sensed at or near the point of maximum excess gain. The excess gain curves on page
1 show excess gain vs. sensing distance for 200 mm, 1,200 mm and 2 m cutoffs.
Maximum excess gain for a 200 mm cutoff occurs at a lens-to-object distance of
about 150 mm, and for a 2 m cutoff, at about 500 mm. The background must be
placed beyond the cutoff distance. Following these two guidelines makes it possible to
detect objects of low reflectivity, even against close-in re flec tive back grounds.
Background Reflectivity and Placement
Avoid mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. False sensor
re sponse will occur if a back ground surface reflects the sensor’s light more strongly
to the near detector (R1) than to the far detector (R2). The result is a false ON
condition (Figure 7). Use of a diffusely-reflective (matte) background will cure this
problem. Other possible solutions are to angle either the sensor or the background (in
any plane) so that the back ground does not reflect back to the sensor.
An object beyond the cutoff distance, either moving or stationary (and when
po si tioned as shown in Figure 8), can cause unwanted triggering of the sensor
because it reflects more light to the near detector than to the far detector. The
problem is easily rem e died by rotating the sensor 90° to align the sensing axis
horizontally. The object then reflects the R1 and R2 fields equally, resulting in no false
triggering.

Setting the Output Delay
When target objects are in motion, an output delay can help prevent “hunting”
or multiple outputs from process control equipment. A delay also can be used
to monitor product flow, “downed goods”, or “jams” (product that is no longer
being conveyed properly). A delay can also create a “smart zone,” enabling certain
equipment to be directly controlled by the sensor, rather than requiring a PLC I/O.
The Q60LAF output may be delayed from 0.008 to 16 seconds, in 72 increments.
Delay is indicated on the 5-segment light bar using single LED segments or
combinations of them, in varying stages of intensity; see Figure 9.
To set a delay, single-click the appropriate button or pulse the remote wire
(DC models only) to enable the process. Then use the + or – button or the
appropriate remote wire pulses to increase or decrease the delay (single-click to
adjust the delay by one step, or hold the button for a rapid increase/decrease).

Laser Classifications
Class 1
Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam
viewing. Reference 60825-1 Amend. 2 © IEC:2001(E), section 8.2.
Class 2
Lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from
400 nm to 700 nm where eye protection is normally afforded by
aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may
be expected to provide adequate protection under reasonably
foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical
instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Reference 60825-1 Amend. 2 © IEC:2001(E), section 8.2.
Class 2 Laser Safety Notes:
Low-power lasers are, by definition,
incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of the blink
(aversion response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths
(400 - 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard can exist only if an individual overcomes
their natural aversion to bright light and stares directly into the laser beam.
For safe laser use:
• Do not permit a person to stare at the laser from within the beam.
• Do not point the laser at a person’s eye at close range.
Terminate the beam emitted by a Class 2 laser product at the end of its useful path.
Locate open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.
