Connecting the ber cable

* The attachments to the ber cables need to be tted BEFORE

you insert the bers into the amplier. For details, refer to the

56789

instruction manual enclosed with the bers.

1. Snap the ber lock lever 1 down as far as it will go.

2. Insert the ber cables slowly into the inlets until they stop (see note).

3. Return the ber lock lever to the original position.

* With the coaxial reective type ber, such as FD-G4 or FD-FM2,

insert the single core ber cable into the inlet for the emitter 2 (inlet on the amplier is labeled “P”) and the multi-core ber cable into the inlet for the receiver 3. If they are inserted the wrong way round, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

Cascading ampliers of the series connection type

* Cascading is not available for FX-505□-C2.

● You can only cascade ampliers of the series connection type, i.e. FX‑501□ and FX‑502□.

● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing

ampliers of the series connection type.

● If you cascade 2 or more ampliers, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail. Refer to “3 Mounting” for details.

● For each amplier using a main connection cable you can install a

maximum of 11 additional ampliers using sub cables.

● If you connect 2 or more ampliers of the series connection type in cascade, use the sub cable (optional) for the second series‑connec‑

tion-type amplier and all after.

Cascading ampliers

1. Mount the ampliers one by one on the DIN rail.

2. Slide the ampliers next to each other and connect the quick‑connection cables

(main cable for the rst amplier, sub cables for all ampliers after the rst).

3. Mount the end plates MS-DIN-E (1, optional) at both ends of the cascade so

that their at sides hold the ampliers

together.

4. Tighten the screws to x the end plates.

Removing cascaded ampliers

1. Loosen the screws of the end plates.

2. Remove the end plates.

3. Slide the last amplier away from the oth‑ ers and remove them one by one.

operation procedure

● If you change settings, press the SET key before you turn the power OFF. Otherwise your changes will be lost.

● With FX-502□, press the MODE key for 3 seconds to switch from sensing output 1 to sensing output 2.

When you turn the power ON, the amplier is in RUN mode. Press the

MODE key (indicated by black arrow in the illustrations below) to switch from one mode to the next.

2-point teaching

The basic teaching method when the sensing object is present is 2-point

teaching.

teaching

● Displays the threshold value in green and the incident light intensity in red.

● Used for teaching, making ne adjustments to the threshold values (see page 5), and activating the key lock function (see page 5).

● Select either Light‑ON or Dark‑ON. The default setting is

● Refer to sensing output operation mode on page 5 for details.

● Displays one of the three settings available in CUSTOM mode (re‑ sponse time, emission power, hyster‑ esis). The default setting is (response time).

● Refer to CUSTOM mode on page 5 for details.

● Used for advanced settings.

● Refer to PRO mode on page 6 for details.

(Light‑ON).

1. Press the SET key when the sensing object is present.

2. Press the SET key when the sensing object is absent.

Display when stable sensing is possible. Display when stable sensing is not possible.

limit teaching

When the sensing object is small or there are objects in the background,

use this teaching method. Both the thru-beam type and the reective type

can be used. The procedure only shows the thru‑beam type.

Sensing object is present Sensing object is not present

● Please note that if the threshold values are very close to each other, objects may not be detected reliably.

● For teaching in Window Comparator mode or Hysteresis mode,

you need to set the shift amount in PRO mode rst. For the setting

procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL” (only available in English).

● If you use 1‑point teaching, set the shift amount (the initial value is 10% or 100) in PRO mode.

Teaching is performed in RUN mode. There are different teaching methods available. Which teaching method is recommended depends on the sensor type and whether the sensing object is present or not present or moving.

sensing condition recommended teaching

Sensing object is present and easily detectable.

Sensing object is very small. Other objects are in the background.

Production line cannot be stopped and sensing object is moving

All teaching methods are available for the thru-beam and the reective type.
