How to connect the ber cable
Be sure to t the attachment to the bers rst before inserting the bers to the
amplier. 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 reective 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.

1. Press the SET key in the sensing object present condition.
● 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>
Set to desired value
1_SLP-12_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)
● 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”.

OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
● When the setting of data bank loading / saving, copy setting, or copy action
setting is conducted via optical communications, cascade the sub ampliers
right side to the main amplier as follows.
However, in case using data bank loading / saving, use FX-502□ or FX-505□-C2
as main amplier.
● If an amplier 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

INTERFERENCE PREVENTION FUNCTION
● This device incorporates an interference prevention function by setting different emitting frequencies different from an interference prevention function by
optical communication.
● For Interference prevention function setting procedure, refer to “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL.”
● Possible number of ampliers for interference prevention function is different
as shown in table below.

● In case putting in more ampliers than limit of interference prevention func-
tion, put the amplier protection seal to amplier which is adjacent of end of
an amplier that the interference function is valid or set OFF in communication
protocol setting of the end of amplier 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 amplier protection seals 4th and 5th ampliers and between 8th
and 9th ampliers 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.

CAUTIONS
● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the ampliers.
● 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 specication may not be satised 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.
● Use same power supply when mounting adjacently.
● Extension up to total 100m is possible. When you extend the cable, be sure the power sup-
ply voltage is 12V DC or more and use cables which have 0.3mm
cross-section area. 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.
2
or more of conductor
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
● Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, organic
solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inammable or ex-
plosive gasses.
● Never disassemble or modify the product.
● This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done 100 thousand times
or more because of the EEPROM’s lifetime.
