FX-301-F

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

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

1Fit the rear part of the mounting

section of the amplifier on a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

2 Press down the front part of the mounting section of the amplifier on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

How to remove the amplifier

1Push the amplifier forward.

2Lift up the front part of the amplifier

to remove it.

Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted up 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

•Make sure to fit the fiber attachment (FX-AT4), enclosed with the fiber, to the fibers.

Please refer to the instruction manual of the fiber attachment for the fitting method.

1 Snap the fiber lock lever down.

2 Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they stop. (Note)

3Return the fiber lock lever to the

original position, till it stops.

Note: In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they stop, the sensing becomes unstable.

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 projec- tion 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 connec- tor, pull out the connector.

Note: Take care that if 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 amplifiers.

•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.

•Since the model setting gets changed if collective teaching is done for the amplifiers in Leak setting (F7 mode) and in Liquid setting (F9 mode) mounted in cascade, note that collective teaching should not be done for amplifiers with different model settings mounted in cascade.

•Since the communication function of this amplifier and that of the fiber sensor FX-301/311series is different, if these models are mounted in cascade, do not use the communication function.

•In case of cascading, wait for 10 minutes, or more, to use the teaching function after the power is switched on.

Cascading method

1 Mount the amplifiers, one by one, on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

(For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)

2Slide the sub units next to each

other, 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 method

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’.)
