MOUNTING

How to connect

1. Fit the rear part of the mounting sec-

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.

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.

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.

OPTICAL COMMUNICATION

● When the setting of data bank loading / saving, copy setting, or copy action setting is conducted via optical communications, cascade the sub ampliers right side to the main amplier as follows. However, in case using data bank loading / saving, use FX-502□ or FX-505□-C2 as main amplier.

● If an amplier is under any of the following conditions, the setting of data bank loading / saving, or copy setting cannot be carried out.

• Copy lock setting is set to copy lock ON “

• Digital display is blinking

● In case conducting copy setting of this device and other FX-500 series togeth- er, functions which are incorporated in this device will be copied but functions which are not incorporated in this device will not be copied.

INTERFERENCE PREVENTION FUNCTION

● This device incorporates an interference prevention function by setting differ- ent emitting frequencies from an interference prevention function by optical communication.

● For Interference prevention function setting procedure, refer to “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL.”

● Possible number of ampliers for interference prevention function is different as shown in table below.

● In case putting in more ampliers than limit of interference prevention function,

put the amplier protection seal to amplier which is adjacent of end of an amplier that the interference function is valid or set OFF in communication protocol setting of the end of amplier that the interference prevention function is valid.

Example: Putting in 12 of this device and set STD of response time setting.

• Possible number of interference prevention is 4. Put the amplier protection seals 4th and 5th ampliers and between 8th and 9th ampliers or change the communication protocol setting of 4th and

8th to OFF since interference prevention works from 1st to 4th, from 5th to 8th and 9th to 12th.

Or set communication protocol setting in 8th to OFF.

● In case mounting more ampliers whose response time setting are different,

CAUTIONS

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the ampliers.

● Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected, the product may get burnt or be damaged.

● Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the product.

● 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.

● The specication may not be satised in a strong magnetic eld.

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

● 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.

● The ultra long distance (U-LG, HYPR) mode is more likely to be affected by extraneous noise since the sensitivity of that is higher than the other modes. Make sure to check the environment before use.

● Do not use during the initial transient time (H-SP, FAST, STD: 0.5 sec., LONG,

U-LG, HYPR: 1 sec.) after the power supply is switched ON.

● Be sure to using the quick connection cable (optional) as cable. When you ex- tend the cable, be sure to use cables which have 0.3mm cross-section area. Extension up to total 100m is possible. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

● Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensor

cable joint and ber cable.
