OUTLINE
● The vacuum-resistant fiber enables detection of sensed objects directly within a vacuum chamber, where the photo-termi-
nal FV-BR1 isolates the atmospheric side from the vacuum side.
● The simple construction and easy set up facilitates usage as do all our fiber cables.

CAUTIONS
● This product has been developed / produced for in-
dustrial use only.
● When installing this product, take care that oil from
palms etc. is not transferred to the product.
● Since the fiber is made of glass, if it is used at places
having intense vibration or impact, or pulled exces-
sive force, the fiber may break. Take sufficient care
when using the fiber.
● The bending radius should be R18mm (R25 mm for
FT-J8) or more. If the fiber is to be mounted on a
movable part, the bending radius should be R20 mm
or more. Take care if the bending radius is less than
R25 mm, the fiber may break. However, FT-J8 can
not be mounted on a movable part.
● Keep the sensing surface and the cable joint intact.
If they are scratched, the detectability deteriorates.
● In case the sensing surface or cable joint gets dirty,
clean it with a soft cloth soaked with water.
Do not use organic solvent.
● Do not use the fiber at places where organic solvent
is contained in the air.
● Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to
fluorescent light from a rapid starter-lamp, a high fre-
quency lighting device or sunlight, as it may affect the
sensing performance.
● Do not move or bend the fiber cable after the sensitiv-
ity was set. The sensing may become unstable.
● The upper limit operating temperature and the upper
limit storage temperature for operating or storing this
product in a high humidity environment are both
specified to be +40 °C (No dew condensation or icing
allowed).When storing this product, it is recommend-
ed that appropriate measures against humidity be
taken by the user.

MOUNTING
For the plate thickness of the vacuum chamber wall
(chamber or flange), refer to the recommended dimen-
-
sions shown below.
-
○
Recommended plate thickness: 3.0 mm to 20.0 mm
If a vacuum chamber whose wall thickness is outside the
recommended range is used, this product may not be in-
stalled. Check the vacuum chamber in advance.
1. Make two holes on the
vacuum tank wall (cham-
ber wall or flange). The
hole diameter must be
ø5.5 mm to ø6 mm.
2. Mount the photo-terminal FV-BR1 on the vacuum
tank wall. When mounting FV-BR1 on the wall, be
sure to mount the attached o-ring, and the side where
the o-ring is mounted should be the atomospheric
side. The tightening torque should be 0.58 N·m or
less.
O-ring
3. Mount the FT-J8 atmospheric side fibers on the atmo-
spheric side of the photo-terminal FV-BR1.
The tightening torque should be 0.58 N·m or less.
Correct
Note: The fixing nuts must be tightened securely. If not, the sensing range may
decrease.
4. Mount the vacuum-resistant fiber on the vacuum side
of the photo-terminals FV-BR1. The tightening torque
should be 0.58 N·m or less.
Correct
Note: The fixing nuts must be tightened securely. If not, the sensing range may
decrease.
5. Fix the fiber head of the vacuum-resistant fiber.
FT-H30-M1V

should be 0.98 N·m or
less.
FD-H30-KZ1V
<If using the mounting bracket>
• Use M3 set-screws (cup
