PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Amplifier
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
Mounting
How to mount the amplifier
1 Fit the rear part of the amplifier on
a 35 mm
1.378 in
width DIN rail.
2 Press down the front part of the
mounting section of the amplifier on
the 35 mm
1.378 in
width DIN rail.
How to remove the amplifier
1 Push the amplifier forward.
2 Lift up the front part of the
amplifier to remove it.
Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the amplifier
forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting section is likely to
break.
How to connect the fiber cables
1 Snap the fiber lock lever down.
2 Insert fiber cables slowly into the
inlets until they stop. (Note 1)
3 Return the fiber lock lever
to the original position, till
it stops.
Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they
stop, the sensing range reduces.
Notes:
2) With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-G4 or FD-FM2,
insert the single-core fiber cable into the beam-emitting inlet and
the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet. If they are
inserted in reverse, the sensing accuracy will deteriorate.
Connection
Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting
or disconnecting the quick-connection cable.
Connection method
1 Holding the connector of the
quick-connection cable, align its
projection with the groove at
the top portion of the amplifier
connector.
2 Insert the connector till a click
is felt.
Disconnection method
1 Pressing the projection at the top of
the quick-connection cable connector,
pull out the connector.
Note: Take care that it the connector is pulled out
without pressing the projection, the projection
may break. Do not use a quick-connection
cable whose projection has broken.
Note:
Further, do not pull by holding the cable, as
this can cause a cable-break.

Cascading amplifiers
Make sure that the power supply is off while cascading or removing the amplifier.
Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature, as it
depends on the number of amplifiers connected in cascade.
In case two, or more, amplifiers are connected in cascade,
make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.
When connecting in cascade, mount the amplifiers close to each other, fitting
them between the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.
When the amplifiers move on the DIN rail depending on
the attaching condition, fitting them between the optional
end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.
35 mm
1.378 in
width DIN rail
Up to maximum 15 amplifiers can be added (total 16
amplifiers connected in cascade.)
When connecting more than two amplifiers in cascade,
use the sub cable (CN-71-C ) as the quick-connection
cable for the second amplifier onwards.
Between the FX-301B(P)/G(P)/H(P) and the FX-301(P),
the setting status copy function via communication signal
cannot be used. If coupling these, please arrange
identical models one at a time.

Operation procedure
When the power supply is switched on, communication
self-check is carried out and nor mal condition is
displayed [MODE indicator / RUN (green) lights up and
the digital display shows incident light intensity].
When MODE key is pressed, the mode changes as per the diagram below.
When jog switch is pressed, the setting is confirmed.
When MODE key is pressed for 2 sec., or more, the sensor returns to the RUN mode.
Cancellation is possible by pressing MODE key during setting.
