5-5-1. Replacing the Fiber
1) Remove the fiber from the transport rail.
2) Lay down the fiber fixing lever of the sensor amplifier to pull
out the fiber.
3) Detach the fiber from the WAIT sensor bracket.
4) When installing new fibers, reassemble the
components in the order of step 3) to 1).
∗
Insert the fiber until it reaches the far position of the
amplifier unit. For the fiber insertion length, refer to
the reference mark for the fiber insertion length.
∗
After replacement, perform the steps described in section 5-5-3, "Adjusting the Sensitivity of
the WAIT/STOP/C-OUT Sensor".
5-5-2. Replacing the Amplifier Unit
<How to mount the amplifier unit>
1) Insert the groove (part A) on the front of the amplifier unit into the DIN rail.
2) Push the rear of the amplifier unit (part B) to fit it completely.
<Detaching the amplifier unit>
1) Push the unit strongly forward (
c
). The front lock is then released.
2) As shown in the Figure, pull up the unit (
d
) to detach it.
∗
After replacement, perform the steps described in Subsection 5-5-3, "Adjusting the Sensitivity
of the WAIT/STOP/C-OUT Sensor".
