2) While the peak / bottom hold mode is ON, the digital display is not turned off even if the
Eco mode is set to ON.
The light emitting intensity can be switched among four levels.
Timer settings can be select ed; Without timer / OFF-delay timer /

If no key is pressed for approximately 20 sec. while in 'RUN' mode, the
digital display turns off automatically. Press the setting switch or move
the operation selection switch to make the display light up again. The
digital display will light up when the threshold value adjuster is turned,
but note that this will also cause the threshold value to change.
Eco mode (Note 2)
If the setting switch is pressed while 'RUN' mode is active, the display
will alternate between the peak hold value and the bottom hold value.
(The display will refresh every 2 sec.) The display will return to nor-
mal if any operation other than threshold value setting is carried out.

When the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or more, 'SET' mode (mode
setting screen) is activated.
If the setting switch is pressed while in 'SET' mode, the mode will change.
If the threshold value adjuster is turned while a mode is active, the setting item will change and blink.
When the setting switch is pressed at the item you would like to set, it blinks 3
times and then the setting is confirmed and the mode switches to the next mode.
If the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or more or do not press any key for
15 sec. while
'SET' mode is active, the mode will switch automatically to
'RUN' mode.

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.
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-C
غ
) as the quick-connection cable for the second amplifier onwards.
When connecting amplifiers not close to each other in parallel, be sure to mount
the optional end plate (
MS-DIN-E
) at both sides of each amplifier or affix the
communication window seal of the optional amplifier protection seal (
FX-MB1
) to
the communication windows. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed
with the
FX-MB1
.
When the connector type and the cable type or different LED (red / blue / green)
types are connected in cascade, mount the identical models together.
When this product is used with the other digital fiber amplifiers, be sure to place
this product to the left most position (When you look from the connector side). If
this product is not placed to the leftmost position, this product may not operate
properly.
Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting
disconnecting the amplifi-
ers and the quick-connection cables.

Ԙ
35mm width DIN rail
ԙ

ԙ
Ԙ
ԙ
Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier
on a DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the
unit on the DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting
section to the DIN rail.
How to mount the amplifier
Ԙ
ԙ
Push the amplifier forward.
Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.
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.

How to connect the fiber cables
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.
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 fi-
ber cable into the beam-emitting inlet and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiv-
ing inlet. If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing accuracy will deteriorate.
Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers first before inserting the fibers to the
amplifier. For details, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the fibers.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
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.
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 0.3mm2, or more, cable.
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
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,
organic 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.
The changes to the settings are written to the EEPROM, but because the
EEPROM has a limited service life, you should avoid changing the settings any
more than 1 million times.
