Notes: 1) 50mA if five, or more, amplifiers are con-
nected together.
2) If a leak is detected (Output: OFF) in
Leak (F7 mode), since the emission is
put in blinking operation, only the re-
sponse to return to ON gets delayed.

CAUTIONS
Make sure to carry out the wiring in the power supply off condition.
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.
Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an auto-
transformer (single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply
may get damaged.
In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge absorber
to the supply and absorb the surge.
Take care that short-circuit or wrong wiring of the load 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.
Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent light from a rapid-starter
lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect the sensing performance.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
When the fiber head gets dusty or dirty etc. the sensitivity deteriorates. To keep
stable detection, wipe the fiber head to remove dust or dirt etc. and carry out
sensitivity teaching periodically.
Take care that the product does not come in direct contact with organic solvents,
such as, thinner, etc.
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
q Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the
amplifier on a 35mm width DIN rail.
w Press down the front part of the mounting section
of the amplifier on the 35mm width DIN rail.
How to remove the amplifier
q Push the amplifier forward.
w Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.
Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted up 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
Make sure to fit the fiber attachment (FX-AT4), enclosed with the fiber, to the
fibers.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the fiber attachment for the fitting
method.
q Snap the fiber lock lever down.
w Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until
they stop. (Note 1)
e Return the fiber lock lever to the original posi-

tion, till it stops.

Note: In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position
where they stop, the sensing becomes unstable.

CONNECTION

Make sure to connect or disconnect the quick-connection cable in the power
supply off condition.
Connection method
q Holding the connector of the quick-connection
cable, align its projection with the groove at the
top portion of the amplifier connector.
w Insert the connector till a click is felt.
Disconnection method
q Pressing the projection at the top of the quick-
connection cable connector, pull out the con-
nector.
Note: Take care that if the connector is pulled out without
pressing the projection, the projection may break. Do
not use a quick-connection cable whose projection
has broken. Further, do not pull by holding the cable,
as this can cause a cable-break.
