3 MOUNTING

How to connect

1.Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier 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

1.Push the controller forward.

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

How to connect the fiber cable

2. Press down

1. Fit 35mm width DIN rail

1. Push forward

2. Lift up

Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers first before inserting the fibers to the amplifier. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the fibers.

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

2.Insert the fiber 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 reflective type fiber, such as, FD-G4 or FD-FM2, insert the single core fiber cable into the beam-emitting inlet “P” and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet. If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

3. Return

1. Snap

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

●● 11 the series connection types using sub cables can be added to an amplifier 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.

6 OPERATION PROCEDURE

●● The sensing output can be switched to sensing output 1 or sensing output 2 by holding down the mode key.

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

Therefore, confirm 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).

<RUN mode>

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

•Teaching, threshold value fine adjustment and key lock function can be set.

• For setting method of each function, refer to “ TEACHING MODE,” “ THRESHOLD VALUE FINE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION,” or “ KEY LOCK FUNCTION.”

<Sensing output operation mode>

•Select either Light-ON or Dark-ON.

•For the setting, refer to “ SENSING OUTPUT OPERATION MODE.”

• The default setting is “ ” (Light-ON).

<CUSTOM mode>

•An item set in CUSTOM mode (Response time setting, Emission power setting and Hysteresis setting) is displayed.

	• For details, refer to “ CUSTOM MODE.”
	• The default setting is “	” (response time setting).
<PRO mode>	• Advanced setting can be done.
	• For the setting, refer to “	PRO MODE.”

<RUN mode>

7 TEACHING MODE

●● Be sure that detection may become unstable depending on the use environment 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.

Note: The shift value of approx. 15% is an initial value. Display of the shift value can be change in 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

1-point teaching

[Window comparator mode (except sensing output 2) / 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.

<Window comparator mode>				<Hysteresis mode>
Set to de-		Set to de-		Set to deSet to de-

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)

Stable sensing is possible

Stable sensing is not possible

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.

2-point teaching

[Window comparator mode (except sensing output 2) / 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.

<Window comparator mode>					<Hysteresis mode>
1_SL (P-1)		2_SL (P-2)			1_SL (P-1)		2_SL (P-2)

1. Pressing SET key down (1st time)

2. Press down the SET key in the sensing object present condition. (2nd time)

Stable sensing is possible

Stable sensing is not possible

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

3-point teaching

[Window comparator mode (except sensing output 2) / 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”.

<Window comparator mode>						<Hysteresis mode>
A 1_SL B		2_SL		C		A 1_SL B		2_SL		C
