Long-range sensing made possible with built-in optical lens

For the first time in the industry, an optical ‘double coupling lens’ has been incorporated directly into the fiber sensor itself. This lens maximizes the light emission efficiency, resulting in a tremendous improvement in the sensing range. Sensing ranges with small diameter fibers and ultra-small diameter fibers, which have become very popular in recent years due to the miniaturization of chip components, have been increased by 50 % over previous values achieved with other amplifiers.

Stable long-term sensing

The newly developed four-chemical emitting element that uses the FX-301 (red LED type) suppresses changes over long periods of time as much as possible, so that a stable light emitting level is maintained. There is very little element deterioration so that stable and accurate sensing can be maintained over long periods.

Selectable response time

We offer 4 selectable levels to correspond with various applications: the response time 150 !s FAST mode, the LONG mode, perfect for adverse environments, and the S-D mode, especially made for minute detection.

Enhanced worksite-friendly installability

Our new fiber cutter utilizes a specially developed two-in-one fiber attachment that now makes it possible to cut two fibers simultaneously to exactly the same length. Also, since the fibers can be attached to the amplifier while being fixed in position in the two-in-one fiber attachment, sensitivity changes due to variation in the amount of fiber insertion do not occur.

Easy maintenance, as main and sub units are identical

Both main and sub units utilize the same amplifier body. This feature allows for easy mounting in the side-by-side configuration. The main and sub unit functions are distinguished only by the proper use of 3-core main cable and the 1-core sub cable. Moreover, by utilizing the same body for both main and sub units, inventory management and maintenance is simplified.

Wiring- and labor-saving design allows sideby-side configuration for up to sixteen units

Up to sixteen amplifiers can be connected in a side-by-side configuration. As the sub cable contains only one output line, a great amount of wiring and space can be saved. Also, special ‘sliding’ connectors have been provided for all main and sub cables, which can be detached merely by releasing the lock and pulling directly back, without having to slide the amplifier body to the side. Using this connector system, only a minimal amount of space is required for regular maintenance.

Environmentally friendly packaging

With regard to effects on the environment, we only utilize the simplest of packaging methods greatly contributing to the reduction in wastes generated by your worksite. Also, the bags are made of polyethylene, a substance that doesn’t give off polluting gases when burned.

Polyethylene packaging

Even beginners can quickly learn how to use the MODE NAVI

MODE NAVI uses six indicators to display the amplifier’s basic operations. The current operating mode can be confirmed at a glance, so even a first time user can easily operate the amplifier without becoming confused.

The use of only two switches makes for very simple operations

Only two switches, the large jog switch and the large MODE key, are required for operation. Depressing the large MODE key sets the ‘mode selection’ and ‘mode cancel’ functions. The large jog switch is used to select from the detailed functions available within each mode, as well as to change numerical values after the mode has been chosen.

4 types of light sources available

In addition to our red LED (four-chemical emitting element) type, the blue, green, and infrared LED types are also provided to correspond to your specific application.

Optical communication function lets multiple sensors be adjusted all at once

The optical communication function allows the data that is currently set to be copied and saved all at once for all amplifiers connected together from the right side. This greatly reduces troublesome setup tasks and makes setup much smoother.

Equipped with each type of timer

These sensors are equipped with 3 types of timers, ON-delay, OFF-delay, and ONE SHOT, for compatibility to variegated environments.

 ON-delay timer

This function is useful for sensing only objects taking a long time travel.

 OFF-delay timer

This function is useful when the connected device has a slow response time.

 ONE SHOT timer

This function is useful when the input specifications of the connected device require a signal of fixed width.

Easy code input setting

Every function can be directly set merely by the input of a four digit code (numbers) from the code table. This convenient feature is easy to set up. In the event that settings are accidentally changed at the operating site, merely entering the correct code can restore the original settings. This results in easy and quick maintenance.

Invertible digital display

The digital display can be inverted as per its orientation once mounted onto the amplifier.

Selectable cable length

Made available are 3 lengths, 1 m 3.281 ft, 2 m 6.562 ft, and 5 m 16.404 ft, to suit your application requirements. This helps reduce the waste caused by cutting cables and lightens the installation workload.

Optional units for greater freedom and control when installing

Sensor-PLC connection system

This wire-saving system enables the collective connection of up to 16 I/O devices with an MIL connector. Scattered installation is also possible with the help of a sensor separate unit.

APPLICATIONS

Workpieces detection

This standard type of FX-301 using red light has a four-chemical emitting element for stable sensing over long periods.

SERIES

Bank selection unit

Without directly manipulating the sensor itself, you can simultaneously switch up to 16 fiber sensors’ settings using an external emitted signal. (Load and save)

function

Sensing semi-transparent stickers

The blue LED type greatly reduces the dampening rate, making it ideal for delicate sensing.

FX-CH

SERIES

Sensing register marks

The green LED type can accurately discriminate between red and yellow, that cannot be easily detected using red LED type.

Sensing film meandering

Infrared LED type is ideal for sensing environments with light restrictions, such as places where light-sensitive film is being handled. (The emission peak wavelength: 940 nm 0.037 mil.) It includes full-auto teaching function which allows sensitivity to be set without stopping the workpiece line.

Detecting chip component

Because of low light intensity fluctuations when detecting minute moving objects, decrease the hysteresis in PRO mode and accurate sensing will be possible in highspeed mode. This method is optimal for chip component verification in taping equipment.

Detecting register marks on a transparent sheet

When detecting registration marks on transparent film with a thru-beam type, the S-D (reduced light intensity) mode will enable minute light intensity fluctuation sensing.

Notes: 2) The sensing ranges are the values for red LED type amplifier. Please contact our office for details on sensing ranges for other types of amplifiers.

Be careful when installing the thru-beam type fiber equipped with the expansion lens, as the beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difficult. Especially when installing a fiber with many cores (sharp bending fibers and heat-resistant glass fiber) please be sure to use it only after you have adjusted it sufficiently.

Fiber attachment

It’s possible to simultaneously cut two fibers to the same length

Each fiber (with some exceptions) has a newly developed two-in-one fiber attachment (FX-AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) which enables two fibers to be cut simultaneously to the same length with the new fiber cutter (FX-CT2). Also, since the fibers can be attached to the amplifier while being fixed in position in the two-in-one fiber attachment, sensitivity changes resulting from variation in the amount of fiber insertion do not occur.

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.

Press down the front part of the mounting section of the amplifier on

35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail

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

Snap the fiber lock lever down.

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.

Notes: 2) With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-G4 or 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

Pressing the projection at the top of the quick-connection cable connector, pull out the connector.

Take care that it the connector is pulled out

Note:

without pressing the projection, the projection may break. Do not use a quick-connection cable whose projection has broken.

Note:

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’.)

Slide the sub units next to the main unit, and connect the quick-connection cables.

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).

Remove the end plates (MS-DIN-E).

Wiring

• Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.

• Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is

applied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected, the sensor may get burnt or damaged.

• If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator,

ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.

• In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator,

inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.

• Take care that short-circuit or wrong wiring of the load may

burn or damage the sensor.

• Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or

power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.

• Ensure that an isolation transformer is utilized for the DC

power supply. If an auto transformer is utilized, the main amplifier or power supply may be damaged.

• Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for

the connection of the amplifier. Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

Others

• Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.

Fiber cable bending radius

If the fiber cable is bent at a smaller bending radius than allowable

•

bending radius, the sensing range decreases due to beam attenuation.

For a allowable bending radius of 25 mm (0.984 in)

Note: Please note that the 350 °C 662 °F

heat-resistant fibers, vacuumresistant and chemical-resistant fibers cannot bend less than the allowable bending radius.

•

Install the fiber using M3 countersunk head screws. The tightening torque should be 0.3 N m or less. Further, when using the fiber at places having intense vibrations, use a screwlocking adhesive, etc.

• If mineral oil or solvent containing mineral oil component

adheres to the sensing surface, the lens may be deformed. Take sufficient care to handle them.

Method of fixing fiber cable

•

If fixing the fiber cable in position, make sure that it is set in a manner as shown below, so that no load is applied on the fiber. (Excluding FT-H35-M2, FT-H35-M2S6, FD-H35-M2 and FD-H35-M2S6)

How to bend sleeve

• The bending radius must be R10 mm R0.394 in or more.

Please bend gradually using the fiber bender (FB-1) or a round bar of "20 mm "0.787 in or more.

Note: Do not bend the sleeve of side-view type, narrow beam type, narrow-

view type and ultra-small diameter type fiber.

Use of heat-resistant type fiber

• Use by keeping 150 mm 5.906 in, or more, of the heat-

resistant fiber cable part at normal temperature.

• Protect the amplifier from heat radiation or hot air.

• With the 350 C 662 °F heat-resistant type fiber, the

surface of the fiber head or the spiral may be discolored

by heat. However, this does not affect its performance.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Fiber

FT-L8Y/V8Y chemical-resistant type fiber

• Do not use it in the following chemicals:

Dissolved alkali metals (Natrium, Potassium or Lithium), Fluorine gas (F

• The beam axis mark is indicated on the side-view fiber.

Perform the beam alignment with the beam axis marks, on the receiver and the emitter, facing each other.

Mounting

• Use a commercial Fluorine resin

joint to mount the fiber.

•

The bending radius of the protective jacket should be R30 mm 1.181 in or more. It will be damaged under the value.

• The bending radius of the bear

fiber should be R25 mm R0.984 in or more. The sensing range will be shortened under the value.

• Do not subject the fiber under tension.

• Although the chemical-resistant type fiber is rated for use

up to

115 °C 239 °F, place 100 mm 3.937 in or more

of the fiber in the normal temperature area to protect the amplifier.

2), CIF3, OF2 (including gaseous state).

FD-F8Y liquid level sensing fiber

Mounting

• Use a commercially available fluorine resin joint, etc., to

install FD-F8Y.

Cautions

• Take care that unclear liquid may not be sensed stably.

• Take care that the tube may stretch by maximum 2 % of

the total length if it is used at a high temperature.

• Do not scratch the fiber jacket while cutting the fluorine

resin tube.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.

Fiber

FD-F4 and FD-F9 liquid level sensing fiber

Mounting

• Mount the fiber head on a pipe with the attached tying

bands and anti-slip tubes as shown in the figure below. Make sure that the release lever is retracted (position as in the fig.) before mounting. Fasten two tying bands, as shown, and cut off the excess portions.

• If other tying bands are to be used, the dimension shown

in the figure below should be 2.5 mm 0.098 in or less.

• In case of mounting using the two mounting holes, use M3

screws, plain washers, and spring washers. The tightening torque should be 0.5 N m or less.

Please arrange the M3 screws, plain washers, and

()

spring washers separately.

Cautions

• Liquid in a pipe which is not transparent cannot be sensed

correctly.

• Unclear or viscous liquid may not be sensed.

• Fit the fiber head to the pipe securely, otherwise the

operation may be erroneous.

• Take care that no dew condenses on the pipe’s sensing

surface or the pipe’s inside wall and no bubble attaches on the pipe’s inside wall, since it can affect the operation.

• Neither the FD-F4 or the FD-F9 is waterproof or

chemical-resistant. Installation should be avoided at any place where it could come in direct contact with water or chemicals.

• Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.

Cautions for FX-MR2 zoom lens usage

• The spot diameter and the sensing range are adjustable

by the screw-in depth as follows.

• In case of mounting on the pipe with tying bands, the fiber

position can be easily adjusted.

Adjustment

1 Unlock the release lever

(in the direction of the arrow).

2 Press the movable

center holders forward to loosen the tying bands and adjust the position.

3 Lock the release lever

to its original place.

Notes: 1)

Whenever the mounting position is changed, adjust the sensitivity again.

Notes: 2) The lever mechanism must be used only to adjust the position, and

not for tightening the tying bands. If tying bands are tightened while the lever is open, and then the lever is locked, the fiber may be damaged.

• After FX-MR2 is set on the fiber

head at the desired depth, tighten the attached nut securely.

• To mount FX-MR2 with a set screw,

use a M3 set screw (cup point). The tightening torque should be 0.29 N m or less.

Caution for FX-MR3, FX-MR6 finest spot lens usage

• Screw FX-MR3, FX-MR6 on the fiber head until the fiber is

fully inserted. The tightening torque should be 0.29 N m or less.

Fiber

FX-301

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-MR5 is set on the fiber head at the desired depth, tighten the attached nut NT-FX-MR5 securely.

• The tightening torque should be 0.5 Nm or less when

tightening FX-MR5 with a screw.

Fitting protective tube

• The threaded head free-cut fiber can be fitted with a

protective tube.

Fitting

1 Insert the fiber cable into the protective tube from the

sleeve side.

Others

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

• Keep the fiber head surface intact. If it i s s cratched 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 rapidstarter 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.

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

sleeve.

Mounting

• The maximum tightening torque should be as given below.

Tightening torque:

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.

Tightening torque:

0.58 N m or less

Digital Fiber Sensor for Leak Detection / Liquid Detection Fibers Only

Easy operation even for beginners! Optimum settings can be realized with simple operations

* Passed the UL 991 Environment Test

* UL 61010C-1 compatible, Passed the UL 991 Environment Test based on SEMI S2-0200.

[Category applicable for semiconductor manufacturing: TWW2, Process Equipment] [Applicable standards: UL 61010C-1] [Additional test / evaluation standards as per intended use: UL991, SEMI S2-0200]

For use with leak detection or liquid detection fiber only

FX-301-F is designed specifically for use

with the leak detection fiber (FD-F7 series) or the liquid detection fiber (FT-F9 series). You can easily set the optimum conditions.

Easy to operate with individual / collective teaching mode

Individual teaching mode (TEACH)

After you select the FD-F7 series or the FT-F9 series with the jog switch, the

optimum threshold level is automatically set by just pressing the jog switch.

Collective teaching mode (ALL)

You can set the optimum sensitivity for all cascaded units in one step by the optical communications function. Moreover, since the settings are also copied to all units, the time involved is considerably reduced.

Easy maintenance, as main and sub units are identical

Both main and sub units utilize the same amplifier body. This feature allows for easy mounting in the sideby-side configuration. The main and sub unit functions are distinguished only by the proper use of 3-core main cable and the 1-core sub cable. Moreover, by utilizing the same body for both main and sub units, inventory management and maintenance is simplified.

Flashing function incorporated

When the leak detection fiber is connected (F7 mode), if a leak is detected, you will recognize which fiber detects the leak at a single glance because the emitter will start flashing.

518

Long life and stable operational settings assure dependable performance

FX-301(P)-F incorporates our newly

developed ‘four-chemical emitting element’, which eliminates such LED performance deterioration. This new element results in stable incident light levels that can be maintained almost indefinitely.

Page 56

FX-301-F

08/2005

Wiring- and labor-saving design allows sideby-side configuration for up to sixteen units

Up to sixteen amplifiers can be connected in a side-byside configuration. As the sub cable contains only one output line, a great amount of wiring and space can be saved. Also, special ‘sliding’ connectors have been provided for all main and sub cables, which can be detached merely by releasing the lock and pulling directly back, without having to slide the main amplifier body to the side. Using this connector system, only a minimal amount of space is required for regular maintenance.

Two switches with distinct functions

Easy operation with MODE NAVI

Simple operation with easy access to advanced functions

Each mode can be selected using the large MODE key. Detailed functions and settings can be chosen using the large jog switch. Each setting mode can be easily confirmed by viewing the MODE indicator display. The advanced features available in each mode can be easily viewed and smoothly selected from the digital display.

Mounting

How to mount the amplifier

Fit the rear p section of the amplifier on a

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

Push the amplifier forward.

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

Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted

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.

Snap the fiber lock lever down.

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

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

Connection

• Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting or

disconnecting the quick-connection cable.

Connection method

Holding the connector of the quickconnection cable, align its projection with the groove at the top portion of the amplifier connector.

Insert the connector till a click is felt.

Disconnection method

Pressing the projection at the top of the quick-connection cable connector, 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 cablebreak.

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-301/311 series 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

Mount the amplifiers, one by one, on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail. (For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)

Slide the sub units next to each other, and connect the quickconnection cables.

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

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

Dismantling method

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

Remove the end plates (MS-DIN-E).

Slide the sub units and remove them one by one. (For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)

Error indication

• When an error is displayed, remedy as follows.

Error indication

Cause Remedy

Excessive current flows due to a shortcircuit.

The teaching is abnormal.

The communication is abnormal.

Switch off the power supply and check the load.

Check the installation condition of the fiber, or whether the fiber has come out, and then do teaching again. Press MODE key to cancel ‘ ’. After the cancellation, the sensor operates at the set value conditions before the error. However, in case the sensitivity selection function has been set to the automatic sensitivity setting ( ), the sensor operates at optimum sensitivity.

Check if the amplifiers mounted in cascade are disconnected. After the confirmation, do the teaching again.

Wiring

• Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.

• Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or

if an AC power supply is directly connected, the sensor may get burnt or damaged.

• In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter

motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.

• If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure

that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.

• Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power

supply. If an auto-transformer (single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply may get damaged.

• In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a

surge absorber to the supply and absorb the surge.

• Take care that short-circuit or wrong wiring of the load may burn

or damage the sensor.

• Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power

lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.

• Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for the

connection of the amplifier. Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm

, or more, cable. However, in order to

reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

Others

• Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec. approx.) after

the power supply is switched on.

• 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.

• Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.

• When the fiber head gets dusty or dirty etc. the sensitivity

deteriorates. To keep stable detection, wipe the fiber head to remove dust or dirt etc. and carry out sensitivity teaching periodically.

• This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.

• Take care that the product does not come in direct contact with

water, oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.

• This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing

inflammable or explosive gases.

• Never disassemble or modify the sensor.

Digital Fiber Sensor with 2 independent outputs

Industry first! Light-emitting amount selection function

If the light-receiving level becomes saturated during close-range sensing or when sensing transparent or ultra-small objects, you can adjust the light-emitting amount of the sensor to stabilize sensing without needing to change the response time. Sensing that previously required the response time or fibers to be changed can now be set much more easily using this function.

Comparison of saturation remedies

[Conventional models]

Response time: Mode selection

Changing fiber: Change to thinner fiber to reduce light amount

Changing setting position: Increase sensing range

High-speed response 65µs

High-speed response that is about twice as fast as before has been achieved. Even small objects moving at high speeds can be sensed. In addition, interference between two units is prevented in high-speed mode (H-SP).

Stable sensing over long and short periods

In addition to a ‘four-chemical emitting element’ which suppresses changes in the light-emitting element over time so that a stable level of light emission can be maintained over long periods, a new ‘Auto Power Control (APC) circuit’ has also been adopted. Because fluctuations over short periods of time have also been suppressed, stable sensing is possible very quickly once the power is turned back on after setup changes.
