PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.

Fiber

Cautions for FX-MR5 side-view zoom lens usage

The spot diameter and the sensing range are adjustable by the screw-in depth as follows.

After FX-MR5is set on the fiber

head at the desired depth, tighten the attached nut NT-FX-MR5securely.

The tightening torque should be 0.5 Nm or less when tightening FX-MR5with a screw.

Fitting protective tube

The threaded head free-cut fiber can be fitted with a protective tube.

Fitting

1Insert the fiber cable into the protective tube from the sleeve side.

2Turn the fiber head to screw it on the inner thread of the sleeve.

Others

Do not use the fiber at places having intense vibrations, as this can cause malfunction.

Keep the fiber head surface

intact. If it is scratched or spoiled, the detectability will deteriorate.

Do not expose the fiber cable

to any organic solvents.

( Excluding chemical- ) resistant type fiber

Do not use the fiber head in places where it may come in direct contact with water. A water drop on the fiber head deteriorates the sensing.

Ensure that any strong extraneous light is not incident on the receiving face of the fiber head.

Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.

Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent light from a rapid-

starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect the sensing performance.

Since the sensing portion of the wide beam or narrow beam fiber is concave shaped, take care that dust or dirt does not collect on it.

In case it does collect, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.

Mounting

The maximum tightening torque should be as given below.

Tightening torque:

Tightening torque:

0.58 N m or less

0.58 N m or less

Note: The fiber cable must be longer than the protective tube by 30 mm 1.181 in or more to connect it to the amplifier. Make sure to measure the length required before cutting.
