CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
●
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
●
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
●
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.
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
●
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.
Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for the connection of the
●
amplifier. Extension up to total 100m is possible with 0.3mm
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
●
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
●
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with water, oil, grease, organic
●
solvents, such as, thinner etc., or strong acid, and alkaline.
This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or
●
explosive gases.
Never disassemble or modify the sensor.

MOUNTING
How to mount the amplifier
Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier
①
on a 35mm width DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the
②
unit on the 35mm width DIN rail and fit the front part of
the mounting section to the DIN rail.
How to remove the amplifier
Push the amplifier forward.
①
Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.
②
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.
①
Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they
FX-311G
②
stop. (Note 1)
Return the fiber lock lever to the original position, till it
③
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 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
Holding the connector of the quick-connection cable, align
①
its projection with the groove at the top portion of the
amplifier connector.
Insert the connector till a click is felt.
②
Disconnection method
① Pressing the projection at the top of the quick-connection
cable, pull out the connector.
Note: Take care that if the connector is pulled out without pressing the
projection,
quick-connection cable whose projection has broken. 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 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,
●
fitting them between the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two ends.
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.
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.
The settings other than the interference prevention function cannot be transmitted
●
between this product and other digital fiber amplifiers. Therefore, in case both
models of amplifiers are mounted in cascade, be sure to mount identical models
together.
For mounting and removing the amplifier, refer to '
Cascading method
Mount the amplifiers, one by
①
one, on the 35mm width DIN
rail and make them close each
other.
Insert the connector of the
②
quick-connection cable to the
connector part of the amplifier.
Mount the optional end plates
③
(MS-DIN-E) at both the ends
to hold the amplifiers between
their flat sides.
Tighten the screws to fix the
④
end plates (MS-DIN-E).
