CONNECTING THE FIBER CABLE
Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers before inserting the
fibers into the amplifier. For details, refer to the instruction manual
enclosed with the fibers.
1 Snap the fiber lock lever down until it stops
completely.
2 Slowly insert the fiber cables into the inlets
until they stop (see note).
If the fiber cables are not inserted until they
stop, the sensing range reduces.
Since a flexible fiber is easily bent, be
careful when inserting it.
3 Return the fiber lock lever to the original
position.
If the cable is a coaxial reflective type fiber, e.g. FD-G4 or FD-FM2,
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 deterio-
rate.

WIRING
Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting or discon-
necting the quick-connection cable.
Connection method
1 Align the projection with the groove on
the amplifier.
2 Insert the connector until you feel it click.
Disconnection method
• Do not remove the connector without pressing the projection, or
the projection may break.
• Do not use a quick-connection cable whose projection has
broken.
• Always pull on the connector. Pulling on the cable can cause the
cable to break.
1 Press the projection on the quick-connection cable
and gently pull out the connector.

CASCADING
Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or removing
amplifiers.
The ambient temperature allowed depends on the number of amplifiers
connected in cascade. See "SPECIFICATIONS" on page 9.
When connecting two or more amplifiers in cascade, mount them on a
DIN rail.
To prevent amplifiers mounted in cascade from moving on the DIN rail,
place the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) at both ends.
A total of 16 amplifiers can be connected in cascade.
When connecting more than two amplifiers in cascade, use the sub cable
(CN-71-C1, CN-71-C2, or CN-71-C5) as the quick-connection cable for
the second amplifier onwards.
When connecting amplifiers in parallel but not directly adjacent to each
other, mount the optional end plate (MS-DIN-E) on both sides of each
amplifier or affix the optional fiber amplifier protective seals (FX-MB1) to
the communication window and connector area.
When mounting the connector type FX-301(P) with the cable type FX-
301(P)-C1 in cascade, mount the identical models together.
When mounting the modified version units and conventional version
units together in cascade, place the modified version units on the right of
the conventional version units as viewed from the connector side. (For
details, see page 8, section 16, UNIT VERSIONS.)
Only the interference prevention function can be transmitted between
this product and other digital fiber amplifiers. Therefore, mount identical
models together when mounting in cascade.
Please
note:
the
interference
incorporated in the FX-301(P)-HS. Be careful when the sensors are
mounted in cascade.
Since the communication function of this product and that of the FX-
301(P)-F differ, affix the accessory amplifier protection seal (FX-MB1) to
the communication windows of the amplifiers when mounting these
models in cascade.
For instructions on how to mount and remove the amplifier, see
"MOUNTING" on page 1.
Cascade mounting
1 Mount the amplifiers, one by one, on a 35mm
DIN rail.
2 Slide the amplifiers against each other so that
the prongs of the quick-connection sub-cable
connector insert into the adjacent connector.
3 Mount the optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) at
both the ends to hold the amplifiers in place.
4 Tighten the screws to fix the end plates.
Dismantling
1 Loosen the screws of the end plates.
2 Remove the end plates.
3 Slide the amplifiers, removing one by one.
