DIGITAL FIBER SENSOR

Easy operation even for beginners

Optimum settings can be realized with simple operations.

Use Only with Leak or Liquid Fiber

For leak / liquid fibers only

FX-301-F is designed for use with only leak fiber, FD-F7 series or

liquid fiber, FT-F9 series. You can set the optimum conditions with

simple operations.

Easy to Operate with Individual / Collective Teaching Mode

Individual teaching mode (TEACH)

After you select FD-F7 series or FT-F9 series by 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. Further, since the settings

are also copied to all the units, cumbersome setting operation is

considerably reduced.

Flashing Function Incorporated

When the leak fiber is connected (F7 mode), if a leak is detected, you

will recognize which fiber detects the leak at one sight because the

emitter will start flashing.

Long Life and No Adjustment Required with a Newly Developed LED

The new ‘LED using four chemical elements’ used in FX-301-F

minimizes light deterioration with time and enables stable detection

for a very long period.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Notes: 1)

50mA, if five, or more, amplifiers are connected in cascade.

When detecting leak (output OFF) during leak setting (F7 mode), since the sensor flashes the emitted light,only the response action for turning the signal back to ON is delayed (1 sec. approx.).

3) Please refer to FX-301 catalog or FIBER SENSOR GUIDE BOOK for the options.

Operation indicator (Orange) ··· Lights up when the output is ON.

Model indicator (Green) ··· Lights up during liquid setting (F9 mode).

MODE indicator ··· RUN (Green): Lights up during normal sensing operation.

TEACH (Yellow): Lights up when the individual teaching mode is selected. ALL (Yellow): Lights up when the collective teaching mode is selected. ADJ (Yellow):

Lights up when the threshold value fine adjustment mode is selected or the sensitivity switching function is activated.

DISP (Yellow): Lights up when the digital display setting mode is selected or the

timer function is activated.

OUT (Yellow): Lights up when the forced output mode is selected or the NO/NC

switching function is activated.

Jog switch ··· Moving this switch in the ‘’ or ‘’ direction, allows different items to be viewed for

selection and pressing the switch then confirms the selected setting.

MODE key ···

This key is used to select operating modes and to cancel settings during the configuration process.

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.
