Mounting
Installation to a DIN rail
1. Attach the railing on the rear of the ampli‑
fier to the DIN rail.
2. Push the amplifier in the direction of the
arrow as illustrated so that it attaches
securely.
Removal from a DIN rail
1. Push the amplifier forward.
2. Lift the front part of the amplifier up.
Connecting the fiber cable
*
The attachments to the fiber cables need to be fitted BEFORE
you insert the fibers into the amplifier. For details, refer to the
instruction manual enclosed with the fibers.
1. Snap the fiber lock lever 1 down as
far as it will go.
2. Insert the fiber cables slowly into the
inlets until they stop (see note).
3. Return the fiber lock lever to the
original position.
*
With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as FD-G4 or FD-FM2,
insert the single core fiber cable into the inlet for the emitter 2
(inlet on the amplifier is labeled "P") and the multi-core fiber
cable into the inlet for the receiver 3. If they are inserted the
wrong way round, the sensing performance will deteriorate.
