MOUNTING
<When using a DIN rail>
How to mount the amplifier
1. Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier
on DIN rail.
2. Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the
2
unit on the DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting
1
section to the DIN rail.

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.
<When using screws with washers>
● Use M3 screws with washers for mounting. The tighten-
ing torque should be 0.5N·m or less.

How to connect the fiber cable
Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers first before inserting the fibers to the ampli-
fier. For details, refer to the Instruction Manual enclosed with the fibers.
1. In cover open condition, snap the fiber lock lever down,

till it stops completely.
2. Insert the 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. Since a
flexible fiber is easily bent, take care when it is inserted.
2) With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-42G or FD-61G, insert the single-core fiber cable into the
beam-emitting inlet “P” and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet “D.” If they are inserted in
reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.
