How to mount M12 connector
If the fixed ring loosens, the connector will come off, causing this product to
generate a communication error.
Before use, be sure to check that the fi xed ring is not loose.
Firmly tighten the fi xed ring by rotating it.

6 OPERATION PROCEDURE
The changed settings are not stored if turning the power OFF while setting.
Therefore, confi rm the settings by pressing the SET key before turning the power
OFF.
If settings are confi gured simultaneously on the main unit side and on the IO-Link
communication side, the settings that are applied last will be enabled.
How to connect the fi ber cable
● Mount the fi ber cables in the state power is not supplied.
● Be sure to fi t the attachment to the fi ber cables fi rst before inserting that to the
amplifier. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the fiber
cables.
● Insert the fi ber cables slowly into the inlets until they stops. Excessive force may
damage the product.

1.
Snap the fiber lock lever down till it stops
completely.
2.
Insert the fi ber cables slowly into the inlets
until they stops. (Note)
3.
Return the fiber lock lever to the original

Note: With the coaxial refl ective type fi ber, insert the single core fi ber cable into the beam-emitting inlet “P” and the
multi-core fi ber cable into the beam-receiving inlet.
If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

9 KEY LOCK FUNCTION
● The key lock function prevents key operations so that the conditions set in each
setting mode are not inadvertently changed (It is also possible to set at IO-link
communication).
● If operating key switch after key lock is set, “ ” is indicated on the
digital display.
