tion of the amplier on a DIN rail.

2. Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the unit on the DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting section to the DIN rail.

How to remove

Push the controller forward.

2. Lift up the front part of the amplier

to remove it.

How to connect the ber cable

Be sure to t the attachment to the bers rst before inserting the bers to the amplier. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the bers.

1. Snap the fiber lock lever down till it stops completely.

2. Insert the ber cables slowly into the

inlets until they stops. (Note)

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

Note: With the coaxial reective type ber, such as , FD-G4 or FD-FM2, insert the single core ber cable into the

beam-emitting inlet “P” and the multi-core ber cable into the beam-receiving inlet.

If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

INSTALL MORE AMPLIFIER OF SERIES CONNECTION TYPE

● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the series connection type.

● In case 2 or more the series connection types are connected in cascade, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.

● In case installing additional amplier of series connection type, the maximum

11 the series connection types using sub cables can be added to an amplier

using a main connection cable.

● When connecting 2 or more the series connection types in cascade, use the sub cable (optional) for the second series connection type onwards.

For mounting and removing the amplier, refer to “ MOUNTING.”

How to cascade

1. Mount the ampliers, one by one,

on the DIN rail.

2. Slide the amplifiers next to each other, and connect the quickconnection cables.

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

The changed settings are not stored if turning the power OFF while

setting. Therefore, conrm the settings by pressing the SET key before

turning the power OFF.

● When turning ON the power, RUN mode is displayed and the digital display shows the threshold value (green) and the incident light intensity (red).

• Displays threshold value (green) and incident light intensity (red).

TEACHING

<PRO1>

TEACHING MODE

● Be sure that detection may become unstable depending on the use environ- ment in teaching if less margin is applied.

● When teaching in Window comparator mode or Hysteresis mode, a setting has to be made in PRO mode beforehand. In case 1-point teaching, make sure to set the shift amount. (initial value is 10% or 100) For the setting, refer to “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL.”

● Teaching can be set in RUN mode.

Useful when sensing object can be set

● This is basic teaching method.

2-point teaching

<Thru-beam type>

1. Press the SET key in the sensing object present condition.

<Reective type>

1-point teaching (Window comparator mode / Hysteresis mode)

● This is method to set the shift amount to the desired value and to set the threshold range by using the 1-point teaching.

Set to desired value

1_SL P-1 2_SL

Notes 1)

The shift amount of 10% is an initial value. The shift amount can be set in PRO mode. Furthermore, the shift value can be set in incident light amount. For setting method, refer to “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL.”

2) If the value after setting exceeds the maximum (minimum), the maximum (minimum) sensitivity will be set.

Set to desired value

1. Pressing SET key down

2. Press the SET key down in the sensing object present condition.

3. The threshold value (1_SL) that is 10% lower from the incident

light intensity and the threshold value (2_SL) that is 10% higher from the incident light intensity are set. (Note 1, 2)

2-point teaching (Window comparator mode / Hysteresis mode)

● This is method to set the threshold range by conducting the 2-point teaching (P-1, P-2).

● When conducting teaching, use sensing objects (P-1 and P-2) whose incident light intensities are different from each other.

2. Press the SET key in the sensing object absent condition.

Stable sensing is not possible

Useful when sensing object cannot be set

● This is teaching method in case small object or object in back ground are existing

Limit-teaching

<Thru-beam type and refractive type are common>

1. Press the SET key in the sensing object present condition or non sensing object present condition.

2. The threshold level is shifted to high value (low sensitivity) by pressing down UP key.

The threshold level is shifted to low

value (high sensitivity) by pressing down UP key.

Stable sensing is possible

Stable sensing is not possible

Note: The shift value of approx. 15% is an initial value. Display of the shift value can be changed to percentage

[approx. 0 to 999% (unit 1 %)] or incident light intensity [0 to 9999 (unit 1)].

For setting the shift amount, refer to “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL.”

Useful when not want to stop production line and to keep the sensing object move

3-point teaching (Window comparator mode / Hysteresis mode)

● This is the method to conduct the 3-point teaching (P-1, P-2, P-3) and to set the threshold range by setting the threshold value (1_SL) of the mid-point between “A” and “B” and the threshold value (2_SL) of the mid-point between “B” and “C”.

● When conducting teaching, use sensing objects (A, B and C) whose incident light intensities are different.

● After teaching, P-1, P-2 and P-3 will be automatically relocated in ascending order: i.e. the lowest value is placed in “A”, the second lowest in “B” and the highest in “C”.
