2 MOUNTING
Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting disconnecting the amplifi-
ers and the quick-connection cables.
How to mount the amplifier
Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier
on a DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the
unit on the DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting
section to the DIN rail. 35mm width DIN rail
How to remove the amplifier
Push the amplifier forward.
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
Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers first before inserting the fibers to the
amplifier. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the fibers.
Snap the fiber lock lever down.
Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they
stop. (Note 1)
Fiber
Return the fiber lock lever to the original position, till it
lock lever
stops.
Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where
they stop, the sensing range reduces. In case of a flexible
fiber, take care that it may bend inside the amplifier, during
insertion.
2) With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-G4 or FD-FM2, insert the single-core fi-
ber cable into the beam-emitting inlet and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiv-
ing inlet. If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing accuracy will deteriorate.
3 CASCADING
Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or removing the amplifiers.
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 the amplifiers move on the DIN rail depending on the attaching condition
or the amplifiers are mounted close to each other in cascade, fit them between
the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.
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.
When connecting amplifiers not close to each other in parallel, be sure to mount
the optional end plate (MS-DIN-E) at both sides of each amplifier or affix the
communication window seal of the optional amplifier protection seal (FX-MB1) to
the communication windows. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed
with the FX-MB1.
When the connector type and the cable type or different LED (red / blue / green)
types are connected in cascade, mount the identical models together.
When this product is used with the other digital fiber amplifiers, be sure to place
this product to the left most position (When you look from the connector side). If
this product is not placed to the leftmost position, this product may not operate
properly.
For mounting and removing the amplifier, refer to ' 2
Cascading method
Mount the amplifiers, one by one,
on the DIN rail.
Slide the amplifiers next to each
other, and connect the quick-con-
Main cable (CN-73-C )
nection cables.
(optional)
Mount the optional end plates
(MS-DIN-E) at both the ends to
hold the amplifiers between their
flat sides.
Tighten the screws to fix the end
plates.
Dismantling
End plates (MS-DIN-E)
Loosen the screws of the end plates.
(optional)
Remove the end plates.
Slide the amplifiers and remove
them one by one.

6 THRESHOLD VALUE (SENSITIVITY) AD-
JUSTMENT
Check the incident light intensity [in the digital
display (red)] when a sensing object is placed
in the sensing position.
Check the incident light intensity [in the digital
display (red)] when the sensing object is
removed from the sensing position.
Turn the threshold value adjuster to the
threshold value [in the digital display (green)]
that is the value in between and . (The
threshold value is automatically written to the
EEPROM.)
< Threshold value setting method >
When the threshold value adjuster is turned clockwise, the threshold value
increases. When the threshold value adjuster is turned counterclockwise, the
threshold value decreases.

If there is a sufficient level of margin in the incident light intensity, the stability indica-
tor (green) will light up.

Sub cable (CN-71-C )
When the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or more, 'SET' mode (mode
(optional)
setting screen) is activated.
If the setting switch is pressed while in 'SET' mode, the mode will change.
If the threshold value adjuster is turned while a mode is active, the setting item will change and blink.
When the setting switch is pressed at the item you would like to set, it blinks 3
times and then the setting is confirmed and the mode switches to the next mode.
Slide If the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or more or do not press any key for
15 sec. while 'SET' mode is active, the mode will switch automatically to 'RUN' mode.

12 CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Without timer
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
OFF-delay
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
ON-delay
Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or if an AC
power supply is directly connected, the sensor may get burnt or damaged.
ONE-SHOT
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.
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.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the power supply is
(The actual display will be ' '.)
switched on.
Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the sensor.
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.
Extension up to total 100m (if 5 to 8 units are connected in cascade: 50m, if 9 to
16 units are connected in cascade: 20m) is possible with 0.3mm 2 , or more, cable.
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
Take care that cable extension increases the residual voltage.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
<RUN condition>
Take care that the product does not come in contact with water, oil, grease,
organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or explosive gases.
Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
(Peak value) (Bottom value)
The changes to the settings are written to the EEPROM, but because the
EEPROM has a limited service life, you should avoid changing the settings any
more than 1 million times.
