PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Amplifier

This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not intended or designed to protect life and prevent body injury or property damage from dangerous parts of machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.

Mounting

How to mount the amplifier

1 Fit the rear part of the amplifier on

 

a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

 

2 Press down the front part of the

35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail

mounting section of the amplifier on

 

the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

 

How to remove the amplifier

1 Push the amplifier forward.

2 Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.

Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the amplifier forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting section is likely to break.

How to connect the fiber cables

1 Snap the fiber lock lever down.

2 Insert fiber cables slowly into the

inlets until they stop. (Note 1)

3 Return the fiber lock lever to the original position, till it stops.

Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they stop, the sensing range reduces.

2)With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-G4or FD-FM2, insert the single-core fiber cable into the beam-emitting inlet and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet. If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing accuracy will deteriorate.

Connection

•Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting or disconnecting the quick-connection cable.

Connection method

1 Holding the connector of the quick-connection cable, align its projection with the groove at the top portion of the amplifier connector.

2 Insert the connector till a click is felt.

Disconnection method

1Pressing the projection at the top of

the quick-connection cable connector, pull out the connector.

Note: Take care that it the connector is pulled out without pressing the projection, the projection may break. Do not use a quick-connection cable whose projection has broken.

Further, do not pull by holding the cable, as this can cause a cable-break.

Cascading amplifiers

•Make sure that the power supply is off while cascading or removing the amplifier.

•Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature, as it depends on the number of amplifiers connected in cascade.

•In case two, or more, amplifiers are connected in cascade, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.

•When connecting in cascade, mount the amplifiers close to each other, fitting them between the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.

•When the amplifiers move on the DIN rail depending on the attaching condition, fitting them between the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.

•Up to maximum 15 amplifiers can be added (total 16 amplifiers connected in cascade.)

•When connecting more than two amplifiers in cascade, use the sub cable (CN-71-C) as the quick-connection cable for the second amplifier onwards.

•Between the FX-301B(P)/G(P)/H(P) and the FX-301(P), the setting status copy function via communication signal cannot be used. If coupling these, please arrange identical models one at a time.

Cascading method

1 Mount the amplifiers, one by one, on the 35 mm1.378 in width DIN rail.

(For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)

2Slide the sub units next to the

main unit, and connect the quick-connection cables.

3 Mount the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) at both the ends to hold the amplifiers between their flat sides.

4 Tighten the screws to fix the end plates (MS-DIN-E).

Dismantling

1 Loosen the screws of the end plates (MS-DIN-E).

2 Remove the end plates (MS-DIN-E). 3 Slide the sub units and remove them one by one.

(For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)

Operation procedure

•When the power supply is switched on, communication self-check is carried out and normal condition is displayed [MODE indicator / RUN (green) lights up and the digital display shows incident light intensity].

•When MODE key is pressed, the mode changes as per the diagram below.

Part description

When jog switch is pressed, the setting is confirmed.

When MODE key is pressed for 2 sec., or more, the sensor returns to the RUN mode.

Cancellation is possible by pressing MODE key during setting.
