How to connect the fiber cable
● Mount the fiber cables in the state power is not supplied.
● 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.
● Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they stops. Excessive force may
damage the product.
1.
Snap the fiber lock lever down till it stops
completely.
2.
Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets
until they stops. (Note)
3.
Return the fiber lock lever to the original
position till it stops.

Fiber for emitter
Note: With the coaxial reflective type fiber, insert the single core fiber cable into the beam-emitting inlet “P” and the
multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet.
If they are inserted in reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

INSTALL MORE AMPLIFIER OF SERIES CONNECTION TYPE
(Connection type only)
●
Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the series
connection type.
●
This product is not equipped with an automatic interference prevention function.
By setting different frequencies, interference can be prevented for up to four
units. For the setting method, refer to <PRO3> in “
12
PRO MODE
.”
●
In case 2 or more the series connection types are connected in cascade, make
sure to mount them on a DIN rail.
● In case installing additional amplifier of series connection type, the maximum
15 the series connection types using sub cables (optional) can be added to an
amplifier using a main connection cable. (optional)
●
When connecting 2 or more the series connection types in cascade, use the sub
cable (optional) for the second series connection type onwards.
For mounting and removing the amplifier, refer to “
3
MOUNTING
.”
How to cascade
1.
Mount the amplifiers, one by one, on
the DIN rail.
2.
Slide the amplifiers next to each other,
and connect the quick-connection
cables.
3.
Mount the end plates
MS-DIN-E
(optional) at both the ends to hold the
amplifiers between their flat sides.
4.
Tighten the screws to fix the end
plates.
How to Remove
1.
Loosen the screws of the end plates.
2.
Remove the end plates.
3.
Slide the amplifiers and remove them
one by one.

OPERATION PROCEDURE
The changed settings are not stored if turning the power OFF while setting.
Therefore, confirm the settings by pressing the SET key before turning the power
OFF.
●
When turning ON the power, RUN mode is displayed and the digital display shows
the threshold value (green) and the incident light intensity (red).
• Displays threshold value (green) and incident light intensity (red).
•
Teaching, threshold value fine adjustment and key lock function can
be set.
• For setting method of each function, refer to “
7
TEACHING MODE
,”
“
8
THRESHOLD VALUE FINE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION
,” or “
9
KEY LOCK FUNCTION
.”
• Select either Light-ON or Dark-ON.
• For the setting, refer to “
10
SENSING OUTPUT OPERATION MODE
.”
• The default setting is “
” (Light-ON).
• Displays light sensitivity setting and enables its setting.
• For detailed information, refer to “
