This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
When the emission halt of the emitting power switching function is set from 'OFF' to 'ON', the 
output may be unstable. Do not use the output control for 0.5 sec. after starting emission.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
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.
Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring 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 (if 5 to 8 units are connected in cascade: 50m, if  9 to 16 units are connected 
in cascade: 20m) is possible with 0.3mm

2

, or more, cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the 

wiring as short as possible. Furthermore, take care that cable extension increases the residual voltage.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
Take care that the product does not come in contact with water, oil, grease,  organ-
ic solvents, such as, thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or explosive gases.
Never disassemble or modify the sensor.

Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or removing the amplifiers.
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 the amplifiers move on the DIN rail depending on the attaching condition or
the amplifiers are mounted close to each other in cascade, fit them between the 
optional end plates (

MS-DIN-E

) mounted at the two ends.

When connecting amplifiers not close to each other in parallel, be sure to mount the option-
al end plate (

MS-DIN-E

) at both sides of each amplifier or affix the communication window 

seal of the accessory amplifier protection seal (

FX-MB1

) to the communication window. 

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-72-C

غ

)

as the quick-connection cable for the second amplifier onwards.
The settings other than the interference prevention function cannot be transmitted
between this product and other digital fiber amplifiers. Therefore, in case both mod-
els of amplifiers are mounted in cascade, be sure to mount identical models togeth-
er. However, the interference prevention function is not incorporated in the 

FX-301

(

P

)

-HS

 and 

FX-303

(

P

). Take care when the sensors are mounted in cascade.

The communication function of this product and that of the 

FX-301

(

P

)

-F

 is differ-

ent. If these models are mounted in cascade, affix the accessory amplifier protec-
tion seal (

FX-MB1

) to the communication windows of the amplifiers. 

For mounting and removing the amplifier, refer to '

MOUNTING

'.

MOUNTING

Ԙ

ԙ

Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier 
on a 35mm width DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the 
unit on the 35mm width DIN rail and fit the front part of 
the mounting section to the DIN rail.

How to mount the amplifier

Ԙ

35mm width DIN rail

ԙ

Ԙ
ԙ

Push the amplifier forward.
Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.

Ԙ

ԙ

Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the
amplifier forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting section is likely to break.

Note:

How to remove the amplifier

Ԙ
ԙ
Ԛ

Snap the fiber lock lever down.
Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they stop. (Note 1)
Return the fiber lock lever to the original position, till it stops.

How to connect the fiber cables

Notes: 1)

2)

In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they 
stop, the sensing range reduces. In case of a flexible fiber, take 
care that it may bend inside the amplifier, during insertion.
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.
