WARNING

● Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.

● In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.

This product is not equipped with an automatic interference prevention function. By setting different frequencies, interference can be prevented for up to four units. For the setting method, refer to <PRO3> in “

INSTALL MORE AMPLIFIER OF SERIES CONNECTION TYPE

(Connection type only)

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

● This product is not equipped with an automatic interference prevention function. By setting different frequencies, interference can be prevented for up to four units. For the setting method, refer to <PRO3> in “

● 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 amplifier of series connection type, the maximum 15 the series connection types using sub cables (optional) can be added to an

amplier using a main connection cable. (optional)

● 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 “

How to cascade

Mount the ampliers, one by one, on

the DIN rail.

Slide the ampliers next to each other,

and connect the quick-connection cables.

Mount the end plates

MS-DIN-E

(optional) at both the ends to hold the

ampliers between their at sides.

Tighten the screws to fix the end

plates.

How to Remove

Loosen the screws of the end plates.

Remove the end plates.

Slide the ampliers and remove them

one by one.

3 MOUNTING

How to mount

Fit the rear part of the mounting section of

the amplier on a DIN rail.

Press down the rear part of the mounting

section of the unit on the DIN rail and t the

front part of the mounting section to the DIN rail.

How to remove

Push the amplier forward.

Lift up the front part of the amplier to remove

it.

How to connect the ber cable

● Mount the ber cables in the state power is not supplied.

● 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.

● Insert the ber cables slowly into the inlets until they stops. Excessive force may damage the product.

Snap the fiber lock lever down till it stops completely.

Insert the ber cables slowly into the inlets

until they stops. (Note)

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

Note: With the coaxial reective type ber, 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.

6 OPERATION PROCEDURE

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, threshold value ne adjustment and key lock function can be set.

• For setting method of each function, refer to “

THRESHOLD VALUE FINE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION,” or “

“ KEY LOCK FUNCTION.”

• Select either Light-ON or Dark-ON.

• For the setting, refer to “

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

• Displays light sensitivity setting and enables its setting.

• For detailed information, refer to “

7 TEACHING MODE

Be sure that detection may become unstable depending on the use environment in teaching if less margin is applied.

● Teaching can be set in RUN mode.

Useful when sensing object can be set

2-point teaching

This is basic teaching method.

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

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

Automatically set without pressing down SET

key in approx. 2 sec.

9 KEY LOCK FUNCTION

● The key lock function prevents key operations so that the conditions set in each setting mode are not inadvertently changed.

● If operating key switch after key lock is set, “ ” is indicated on the digital display.

Limit-teaching

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 <PRO1> in “

This is teaching method in case small object or object in

back ground are existing.

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

Thru-beam type, mirror reflection type: Threshold level is shifted to high value (low sensitivity) when UP key is pressed down, and it is shifted to low value (high sensitivity) when DOWN key is pressed down. (Note)
