Long-range sensing made possible with built-in optical lens  
Stable long-term sensing  
Enhanced worksite-friendly installability  
For the first time in the industry, an  
optical ‘double coupling lens’ has been  
incorporated directly into the fiber  
sensor itself. This lens maximizes the  
light emission efficiency, resulting in a  
tremendous improvement in the  
sensing range. Sensing ranges with  
small diameter fibers and ultra-small  
diameter fibers, which have become  
very popular in recent years due to the  
miniaturization of chip components,  
have been increased by 50 % over  
previous values achieved with other  
amplifiers.  
The newly developed four-chemical  
Our new fiber cutter utilizes a specially  
developed two-in-one fiber attachment  
that now makes it possible to cut two  
fibers simultaneously to exactly the  
same length. Also, since the fibers can  
be attached to the amplifier while  
being fixed in position in the two-in-one  
fiber attachment, sensitivity changes  
due to variation in the amount of fiber  
insertion do not occur.  
emitting element that uses the FX-301  
(red LED type) suppresses changes  
over long periods of time as much as  
possible, so that a stable light emitting  
level is maintained. There is very little  
element deterioration so that stable  
and accurate sensing can be  
maintained over long periods.  
Selectable response time  
We offer 4 selectable levels to  
correspond with various applications:  
the response time 150 !s FAST mode,  
the LONG mode, perfect for adverse  
environments, and the S-D mode,  
especially made for minute detection.

Optical communication function lets  
multiple sensors be adjusted all at once  
4 types of light sources available  
Equipped with each type of timer  
In addition to our red LED (four-chemical  
emitting element) type, the blue, green,  
and infrared LED types are also provided  
to correspond to your specific application.  
The optical communication function  
allows the data that is currently set to  
be copied and saved all at once for all  
amplifiers connected together from the  
right side. This greatly reduces  
troublesome setup tasks and makes  
setup much smoother.  
These sensors are equipped with 3  
types of timers, ON-delay, OFF-delay,  
and ONE SHOT, for compatibility to  
variegated environments.  
Ⅵ ON-delay timer  
This function is useful for sensing only  
objects taking a long time travel.  
Ⅵ OFF-delay timer  
This function is useful when the  
connected device has a slow response  
time.  
Ⅵ ONE SHOT timer  
This function is useful when the input  
specifications of the connected device  
require a signal of fixed width.  
Easy code input setting  
Every function can be directly set merely by the input of a four digit code (numbers) from the code table. This convenient  
feature is easy to set up.  
In the event that settings are accidentally changed at the operating site, merely entering the correct code can restore the  
original settings. This results in easy and quick maintenance.  
Invertible digital display  
Selectable cable length  
The digital display can be inverted as per its orientation once mounted onto the amplifier.  
Made available are 3 lengths, 1 m 3.281 ft,  
2 m 6.562 ft, and 5 m 16.404 ft, to suit  
your application requirements. This helps  
reduce the waste caused by cutting cables  
and lightens the installation workload.

APPLICATIONS  
Workpieces detection  
Sensing semi-transparent stickers  
Sensing register marks  
The blue LED type greatly reduces the  
dampening rate, making it ideal for delicate  
sensing.  
This standard type of FX-301 using red light  
has a four-chemical emitting element for  
stable sensing over long periods.  
The green LED type can accurately  
discriminate between red and yellow, that  
cannot be easily detected using red LED  
type.  
Sensing film meandering  
Detecting chip component  
Detecting register marks on a  
transparent sheet  
When detecting registration marks on  
transparent film with a thru-beam type, the  
S-D (reduced light intensity) mode will  
enable minute light intensity fluctuation  
sensing.  
Infrared LED type is ideal for sensing  
environments with light restrictions, such as  
places where light-sensitive film is being  
handled. (The emission peak wavelength:  
940 nm 0.037 mil.) It includes full-auto  
teaching function which allows sensitivity to  
be set without stopping the workpiece line.  
Because of low light intensity fluctuations  
when detecting minute moving objects,  
decrease the hysteresis in PRO mode and  
accurate sensing will be possible in high-  
speed mode. This method is optimal for chip  
component verification in taping equipment.

Notes: 1) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut. In addition, the infrared  
type is easily affected by humidity, so contact our office if using these sensors in environments with high humidity or where humidity levels can fluctuate.  
Notes: 2) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing object size if using  
amplifiers other than red LED type.  
The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent  
condition.  
Notes: 3) Sensing range for a 2 m 6.562 ft long fiber. A 10 m 32.808 ft long fiber will cause damping of the beam and cannot be used.  
Notes: 4) The fiber cutter is not supplied as an accessory with FT-NB8 and FT-N8. Please order it separately.

Notes: 1) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut. In addition, the infrared  
type is easily affected by humidity, so contact our office if using these sensors in environments with high humidity or where humidity levels can fluctuate.  
Notes: 2) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing object size if using amplifiers other than red LED  
type. The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent condition.  
Notes: 3) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range to 3,500 mm 137.795 in long.

Notes: 1) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut. In addition, the infrared  
type is easily affected by humidity, so contact our office if using these sensors in environments with high humidity or where humidity levels can fluctuate.  
Notes: 2) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing object size if using amplifiers other than red  
LED type. The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent condition.  
Notes: 3) The allowable cutting range is 500 mm 19.685 in from the end that the amplifier inserted.  
The vacuum type fiber must be used with the following products as a set.  
FT-J6: Fiber at atmospheric side (one pair set) FV-BR1: Photo-terminal (one pair set)  
Semi-standard fibers (Custom made per order)  
The fiber cable length or sleeve length of the standard fibers can be modified at your request. Select the fiber cable length (symbol ଁ ) or the sleeve length  
(symbol f ) from the table below.

sensitivity is at MAX., it is only possible to detect the minimum size of the sensing object at a distance corresponding to the convergent point.

Notes: 2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut. In addition, the  
infrared type is easily affected by humidity, so contact our office if using these sensors in environments with high humidity or where humidity levels can  
fluctuate.  
Notes: 3) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type at maximum sensitivity. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing  
object size if using amplifiers other than red LED type.  
Also, note that the corresponding setting distance is different from the rated sensing distance. However, with the fixed-focus reflective type, when the  
sensitivity is at MAX., it is only possible to detect the minimum size of the sensing object at a distance corresponding to the convergent point.  
Notes: 4) Following is the allowable cutting range from the end that the amplifier is inserted FD-F8Y: 1,000 mm 39.370 in, FD-G6X: 700 mm 27.559 in.

Notes: 1) Be careful when installing the thru-beam type fiber equipped with the expansion lens, as the beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difficult.  
Especially when installing a fiber with many cores (sharp bending fibers and heat-resistant glass fiber) please be sure to use it only after you have adjusted it sufficiently.  
Notes: 2) The sensing ranges are the values for red LED type amplifier. Please contact our office for details on sensing ranges for other types of amplifiers.  
Notes: 3) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range to 3.500 mm 137.795 in long (FT-H20W-M1 and FT-H20-M1: 1,600 mm 62.992 in).

Each fiber (with some exceptions) has a newly developed two-in-one fiber attachment (FX-AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) which enables two fibers to be cut simultaneously  
to the same length with the new fiber cutter (FX-CT2). Also, since the fibers can be attached to the amplifier while being fixed in position in the two-in-one fiber  
attachment, sensitivity changes resulting from variation in the amount of fiber insertion do not occur.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE  
Amplifier  
Cascading amplifiers  
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not  
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body  
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of  
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.  
•
•
Make sure that the power supply is off while cascading or removing the amplifier.  
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 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.  
•
•
Mounting  
How to mount the amplifier  
1Fit the rear part of the amplifier on  
• 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.  
• 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-CⅪ) as the quick-connection  
cable for the second amplifier onwards.  
• Between the FX-301B(P)/G(P)/H(P) and the FX-301(P),  
the setting status copy function via communication signal  
cannot be used. If coupling these, please arrange  
identical models one at a time.

2
Snap the fiber lock lever down.  
Insert fiber cables slowly into the  
inlets until they stop. (Note 1)  
1Mount the amplifiers, one by  
one, on the 35 mm1.378 in  
width DIN rail.  
3Return the fiber lock lever  
to the original position, till  
it stops.  
Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they  
stop, the sensing range reduces.  
Notes: 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.

Teaching  
In case of limit teaching  
•
The threshold values can be set by 2-level teaching, limit teaching or full-  
auto teaching, when the MODE indicator / TEACH (yellow) lights up.  
•
This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching  
only the object absent condition (stable incident light  
condition). This is used for detection in the presence of a  
background body or for detection of small objects.  
In case of 2-level teaching  
•
This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching two levels, corresponding to  
the object present and object absent conditions. Normally, setting is done by this method.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.  
Fiber  
Connection with reflective coaxial type fiber  
Narrow beam type fiber mounting  
• With reflective coaxial type fiber, insert the center fiber  
cable (single-core) into the beam-emitting inlet and the  
outer fiber cable (multi-core) into the beam-receiving inlet.  
•
Take care that, since the aperture angle of this product is very  
narrow, the beam may not be received depending upon the setting.  
At the time of installation, determine a reference plane, as shown in  
the figure below, and taking sufficient care against beam  
misalignment or tilt, install the emitting and receiving fibers so that  
they are parallel.  
FD-H35-M2 or FD-H20-M1 is marked ‘P’ on the beam-  
emitting fiber cable and ‘D’ on the beam-receiving fiber cable.  
FD-WG4, FD-WSG4 and FD-G4, FD-G6, FD-G6X are  
composed of beam-emitting and beam-receiving fiber  
cables that are different in diameter.  
<FT-K8>  
FD-G500, FD-EG1, FD-EG2, FD-EG3, FD-E22,  
FD-H20-21 and FD-ENM1S1 are marked P on the  
beam-emitting fiber cable.  
<FT-KV8 / FT-WKV8>  
Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they  
stop, the sensing range reduces.  
Notes: 2) Before connecting fiber cables to the amplifier, mount the fiber  
attachments on their ends.  
Fiber cable bending radius  
•
If the fiber cable is bent at a smaller bending radius than allowable  
bending radius, the sensing range decreases due to beam attenuation.  
Thru-beam type wide beam fiber mounting  
• Take care that, since the aperture angle of this product is  
very narrow, the beam may not be received depending  
upon the setting.  
At the time of installation, determine a reference plane, as  
shown in the figure below, and taking sufficient care  
against beam misalignment or tilt, install the beam-  
emitting and receiving fibers so that they are parallel.  
For a allowable bending radius of 25 mm (0.984 in)  
Note: Please note that the 350 °C 662 °F  
heat-resistant fibers, vacuum-  
resistant and chemical-resistant  
fibers cannot bend less than the  
allowable bending radius.  
How to bend sleeve  
• The bending radius must be R10 mm R0.394 in or more.  
Please bend gradually using the fiber bender (FB-1) or a  
round bar of "20 mm "0.787 in or more.  
• Install the fiber using M3  
countersunk head screws.  
The tightening torque should  
be 0.3 N⅐m or less.  
Note: Do not bend the sleeve of side-view type, narrow beam type, narrow-  
view type and ultra-small diameter type fiber.  
Further, when using the fiber  
at places having intense  
vibrations, use a screw-  
locking adhesive, etc.  
Use of heat-resistant type fiber  
• Use by keeping 150 mm 5.906 in, or more, of the heat-  
resistant fiber cable part at normal temperature.  
• If mineral oil or solvent containing mineral oil component  
adheres to the sensing surface, the lens may be  
deformed. Take sufficient care to handle them.  
Method of fixing fiber cable  
•
If fixing the fiber cable in position, make sure that it is set in  
a manner as shown below, so that no load is applied on the  
fiber. (Excluding FT-H35-M2, FT-H35-M2S6, FD-H35-M2  
and FD-H35-M2S6)  
• Protect the amplifier from heat radiation or hot air.  
• With the 350 ЊC 662 °F heat-resistant type fiber, the  
surface of the fiber head or the spiral may be discolored  
by heat. However, this does not affect its performance.

Mounting  
1Make two holes on the vac-  
uum tank wall (chamber  
wall or flange).  
Note: The hole diameter must be from  
"5.5 to "6.0 mm "0.217 to  
"0.236 in.  
Notes: 1) The fiber cables should be cut in one stroke.  
Notes: 2) Once a fiber cable is cut off at a hole, do not use the hole again. If  
used, it degrades the cut surface quality and the detectability may  
deteriorate.  
Notes: 3) The blade cannot be replaced. Please purchase an additional fiber  
cutter, if required.  
Notes: 4) Note that the sensing range may be reduced by up to 20 %  
depending on the cut condition. Hence, decide the setting distance  
by taking sufficient margin.  
2Mount the FV-BR1 photo-terminal on the vacuum tank  
wall.  
Notes: 1) The attached O-ring must be mounted.  
Notes: 2) The O-ring must be used at the atmospheric side.  
Notes: 3) The tightening torque should be 0.58 N⅐m or less.  
Seal type slit mask for FT-WA30/A30, FT-WA8/A8  
• Two types of slit masks are enclosed. (one type for  
FT-A30 and FT-WA30) Apply the enclosed slit mask when  
detecting small objects or as measures not to saturate the  
emitted light amount for short-range sensing.  
However, the sensing range is reduced when the slit mask  
is mounted.  
As the slit mask is seal type, stick it by aligning the  
projection of the slit mask with the upper portion of the  
fiber head, as shown in the figure below.  
3Mount the FT-J6 atmospheric side fibers on the  
atmospheric side of the FV-BR1 photo-terminals.  
Notes: 1) The fixing nuts must be tightened securely. If not, the sensing  
range may decrease.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.  
Fiber  
FT-L8Y/V8Y chemical-resistant type fiber  
• Do not use it in the following chemicals:  
Dissolved alkali metals (Natrium, Potassium or Lithium),  
Fluorine gas (F2), CIF3, OF2 (including gaseous state).  
• The beam axis mark is indicated on the side-view fiber.  
Perform the beam alignment with the beam axis marks, on  
the receiver and the emitter, facing each other.  
Mounting  
• Use a commercial Fluorine resin  
joint to mount the fiber.  
•
The bending radius of the protective  
jacket should be R30 mm 1.181 in  
or more. It will be damaged under  
the value.  
• The bending radius of the bear  
fiber should be R25 mm R0.984 in  
or more. The sensing range will be  
shortened under the value.  
• Do not subject the fiber under tension.  
• Although the chemical-resistant type fiber is rated for use  
up to 
ם
115 °C 
ם
239 °F, place 100 mm 3.937 in or more  
of the fiber in the normal temperature area to protect the  
amplifier.  
FD-F8Y liquid level sensing fiber  
Mounting  
• Use a commercially available fluorine resin joint, etc., to  
install FD-F8Y.  
Cautions  
• Take care that unclear liquid may not be sensed stably.  
• Take care that the tube may stretch by maximum 2 % of  
the total length if it is used at a high temperature.  
• Do not scratch the fiber jacket while cutting the fluorine  
resin tube.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE.  
Fiber  
FD-F4Ⅺ and FD-F9Ⅺ liquid level sensing fiber  
Cautions  
Mounting  
• Liquid in a pipe which is not transparent cannot be sensed  
correctly.  
• Mount the fiber head on a pipe with the attached tying  
bands and anti-slip tubes as shown in the figure below.  
Make sure that the release lever is retracted (position as in  
the fig.) before mounting.  
Fasten two tying bands, as shown, and cut off the excess  
portions.  
• Unclear or viscous liquid may not be sensed.  
• Fit the fiber head to the pipe securely, otherwise the  
operation may be erroneous.  
• Take care that no dew condenses on the pipe’s sensing  
surface or the pipe’s inside wall and no bubble attaches on  
the pipe’s inside wall, since it can affect the operation.  
• Neither the FD-F4Ⅺ or the FD-F9Ⅺ is waterproof or  
chemical-resistant. Installation should be avoided at any  
place where it could come in direct contact with water or  
chemicals.  
• Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.  
Cautions for FX-MR2 zoom lens usage  
• The spot diameter and the sensing range are adjustable  
by the screw-in depth as follows.  
A
• If other tying bands are to be used, the dimension shown  
in the figure below should be 2.5 mm 0.098 in or less.  
• In case of mounting using the two mounting holes, use M3  
screws, plain washers, and spring washers.  
The tightening torque should be 0.5 N⅐m or less.  
Please arrange the M3 screws, plain washers, and  
spring washers separately.  
(
)
• In case of mounting on the pipe with tying bands, the fiber  
position can be easily adjusted.  
• After FX-MR2 is set on the fiber  
head at the desired depth, tighten  
the attached nut securely.  
Adjustment  
1Unlock the release lever  
(in the direction of the  
arrow).  
• To mount FX-MR2 with a set screw,  
use a M3 set screw (cup point). The  
tightening torque should be 0.29  
N⅐m or less.  
2Press the movable  
center holders forward  
to loosen the tying  
bands and adjust the  
position.  
Caution for FX-MR3, FX-MR6 finest spot lens usage  
• Screw FX-MR3, FX-MR6 on the fiber head until the fiber is  
fully inserted.  
The tightening torque should be 0.29 N⅐m or less.  
3Lock the release lever  
to its original place.  
Notes: 1) Whenever the mounting position is changed, adjust the sensitivity again.  
Notes: 2) The lever mechanism must be used only to adjust the position, and  
not for tightening the tying bands. If tying bands are tightened while  
the lever is open, and then the lever is locked, the fiber may be  
damaged.

Fiber  
Cautions for FX-MR5 side-view zoom lens usage  
Others  
• The spot diameter and the sensing range are adjustable  
by the screw-in depth as follows.  
• Do not use the fiber at places having intense vibrations, as  
this can cause malfunction.  
• Keep the fiber head surface  
intact. If it is scratched or  
spoiled, the detectability will  
deteriorate.  
• Do not expose the fiber cable  
to any organic solvents.  
Excluding  
resistant type fiber  
chemical-  
(
)
• Do not use the fiber head in places where it may come in  
direct contact with water. A water drop on the fiber head  
deteriorates the sensing.  
•
After FX-MR5 is set on the fiber  
head at the desired depth, tighten  
the attached nut NT-FX-MR5  
securely.  
• Ensure that any strong extraneous light is not incident on  
the receiving face of the fiber head.  
• Do not apply excessive tensile force to the fiber cable.  
• 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.  
• The tightening torque should be 0.5 N⅐m or less when  
tightening FX-MR5 with a screw.  
Fitting protective tube  
• The threaded head free-cut fiber can be fitted with a  
protective tube.  
• Since the sensing portion of the wide beam or narrow  
beam fiber is concave shaped, take care that dust or dirt  
does not collect on it.  
Fitting  
• In case it does collect, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.  
1Insert the fiber cable into the protective tube from the  
sleeve side.  
2Turn the fiber head to screw it on the inner thread of the  
sleeve.  
Mounting  
• The maximum tightening torque should be as given below.  
<Sleeve part>  
Tightening torque:  
0.58 N⅐m or less  
<Threaded part>  
Tightening torque:  
0.58 N⅐m or less  
Note: The fiber cable must be longer than the protective tube by 30 mm  
1.181 in or more to connect it to the amplifier. Make sure to measure  
the length required before cutting.

FX-301-F  
Digital Fiber Sensor for Leak Detection /  
Liquid Detection Fibers Only  
Easy operation even for  
beginners!  
Optimum settings can  
be realized with simple  
operations  
* Passed the UL 991 Environment Test  
* UL 61010C-1 compatible, Passed the UL 991 Environment Test based on SEMI S2-0200.  
[Category applicable for semiconductor manufacturing: TWW2, Process Equipment]  
[Applicable standards: UL 61010C-1]  
[Additional test / evaluation standards as per intended use: UL991, SEMI S2-0200]  
For use with leak detection or liquid detection fiber only  
Easy to operate with individual / collective teaching mode  
Easy maintenance, as main and sub units are identical  
FX-301-F is designed specifically for use  
with the leak detection fiber (FD-F7 series)  
or the liquid detection fiber (FT-F9 series).  
You can easily set the optimum conditions.  
Both main and sub units utilize the  
same amplifier body. This feature  
allows for easy mounting in the side-  
by-side configuration. The main and  
sub unit functions are distinguished  
only by the proper use of 3-core main  
cable and the 1-core sub cable.  
Moreover, by utilizing the same body  
for both main and sub units, inventory  
management and maintenance is  
simplified.  
Individual teaching mode (TEACH)  
After you select the FD-F7 series or the  
FT-F9 series with the jog switch, the  
optimum threshold level is automatically  
set by just pressing the jog switch.  
Collective teaching mode (ALL)  
You can set the optimum sensitivity for  
all cascaded units in one step by the  
optical communications function.  
Moreover, since the settings are also  
copied to all units, the time involved is  
considerably reduced.  
Long life and stable operational settings  
assure dependable performance  
Flashing function incorporated  
When the leak detection fiber is  
connected (F7 mode), if a leak is  
detected, you will recognize which fiber  
detects the leak at a single glance  
because the emitter will start flashing.  
FX-301(P)-F incorporates our newly  
developed ‘four-chemical emitting  
element’, which eliminates such LED  
performance deterioration. This new  
element results in stable incident light  
levels that can be maintained almost  
indefinitely.

FX-301-F  
Wiring- and labor-saving design allows side-  
by-side configuration for up to sixteen units  
Easy operation with MODE NAVI  
Simple operation with easy access to advanced functions  
Up to sixteen amplifiers can be connected in a side-by-  
side configuration. As the sub cable contains only one  
output line, a great amount of wiring and space can be  
saved. Also, special ‘sliding’ connectors have been  
provided for all main and sub cables, which can be  
detached merely by releasing the lock and pulling directly  
back, without having to slide the main amplifier body to  
the side. Using this connector system, only a minimal  
amount of space is required for regular maintenance.  
MODE NAVI uses six indicators to  
display the amplifier’s basic opera-  
tions.  
The current operating mode can be  
confirmed at a glance, so even a first  
time user can easily operate the  
amplifier without becoming confused.  
Each mode can be selected using the  
large MODE key. Detailed functions  
and settings can be chosen using the  
large jog switch. Each setting mode  
can be easily confirmed by viewing the  
MODE indicator display.  
The advanced features available in  
each mode can be easily viewed and  
smoothly selected from the digital  
display.  
Two switches with distinct functions  
Only two switches, the large jog switch and the large MODE key, are required for operation. Depressing the large MODE key  
sets the ‘mode selection’ and ‘mode cancel’ functions. The large jog switch is used to select from the detailed functions  
available within each mode, as well as to change numerical values after the mode has been chosen. The use of only two  
switches makes for very simple operations and easy maintenance.

Notes: 3) The cable for amplifier connection is not supplied as an accessory. Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable given below.  
Main cable (3-core): CN-73-C1 (cable length 1 m 3.281 ft), CN-73-C2 (cable length 2 m 6.562 ft), CN-73-C5 (cable length 5 m 16.404 ft)  
Sub cable (1-core): CN-71-C1 (cable length 1m 3.281 ft), CN-71-C2 (cable length 2 m 6.562 ft), CN-71-C5 (cable length 5 m 16.404 ft)

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE  
Cascading amplifiers  
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not  
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body  
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of  
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.  
• Make sure that the power supply is off while cascading or  
removing the amplifiers.  
• Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature, as it  
Mounting  
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.  
How to mount the amplifier  
1
Fit the rear part of the mounting  
section of the amplifier on a  
• 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.  
35 mm  
width DIN rail.  
1.378 in  
2
Press down the front part of the  
mounting section of the amplifier on  
the 35 mm 1.378 in width 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.  
• Up to maximum 15 amplifiers can be added (total 16 amplifiers  
connected in cascade.)  
How to remove the amplifier  
1
Push the amplifier forward.  
• When connecting more than two amplifiers in cascade, use the  
sub cable (CN-71-CⅪ) as the quick-connection cable for the  
second amplifier onwards.  
2
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.  
• Since the model setting gets changed if collective teaching is  
done for the amplifiers in Leak setting (F7 mode) and in Liquid  
setting (F9 mode) mounted in cascade, note that collective  
teaching should not be done for amplifiers with different model  
settings mounted in cascade.  
How to connect the fiber cables  
• Since the communication function of this amplifier and that of  
the fiber sensor FX-301/311 series is different, if these models  
are mounted in cascade, do not use the communication  
function.  
• 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.  
• In case of cascading, wait for 10 minutes, or more, to use the  
teaching function after the power is switched on.  
1
2
Snap the fiber lock lever down.  
Cascading method  
Insert the fiber cables slowly into  
the inlets until they stop. (Note)  
1
Mount the amplifiers, one by one,  
on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN  
rail.  
3
Return the fiber lock lever to the  
original position, till it stops.  
(For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)  
Note: In case the fiber cables are not  
inserted to a position where they stop,  
the sensing becomes unstable.  
2
3
Slide the sub units next to each  
other, and connect the quick-  
connection cables.  
Mount the optional end plates  
(MS-DIN-E) at both the ends to  
hold the amplifiers between their  
flat sides.  
Connection  
• Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting or  
disconnecting the quick-connection cable.  
4
Tighten the screws to fix the end  
plates (MS-DIN-E).  
Connection method  
1
Holding the connector of the quick-  
connection cable, align its projec-  
tion with the groove at the top  
portion of the amplifier connector.  
Dismantling method  
1
Loosen the screws of the end  
plates (MS-DIN-E).  
2
3
Remove the end plates (MS-DIN-E).  
Slide the sub units and remove  
them one by one.  
2
Insert the connector till a click is  
felt.  
(For details, refer to ‘Mounting’.)  
Disconnection method  
1
Pressing the projection at the top of  
the quick-connection cable connec-  
tor, pull out the connector.  
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.

If the light-receiving level becomes saturated during close-range sensing or when  
sensing transparent or ultra-small objects, you can adjust the light-emitting amount  
of the sensor to stabilize sensing without needing to change the response time.  
Sensing that previously required the response time or fibers to be changed can now  
be set much more easily using this function.

emission can be maintained over long periods, a  
new ‘Auto Power Control (APC) circuit’ has also  
been adopted. Because fluctuations over short  
periods of time have also been suppressed,  
stable sensing is possible very quickly once the  
power is turned back on after setup changes.  
Largest number in the industry! Automatic interference  
prevention of up to 16 units  
Can be used even in places where fibers need to be installed close together.
