    Notes:

    1):Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.

    2):When using the interference prevention function, set the emission frequencies for the amplifiers to be covered by the interference prevention function to different frequency values.
    However, the interference prevention function does not operate at emission frequency 0 (factory default setting) for the FX-101(P)(-Z) / FX-101(P)-CC2.

    3):The voltage withstandability and the insulation resistance values given in the above table are for the amplifier only.

    4):Connector attached cable CN-14A-C2 is not attached to the models that have no "-CC2" at the end of the model Nos.
    Make sure to use the optional connector attached cable CN-14A(-R)-C□ or the connector CN-14A, or a connector manufactured by J.S.T. Mfg., Ltd.
    (contact: SPHD-001T-P0.5, housing: PAP-04V-S).

    5):Model Nos. having the suffix "-Z" are M8 plug-in connector type. Make sure to use the optional M8 attached connector cable CN-24A-C□.

    6):Protection cover FC-FX-1 has been attached from production in July, 2011.

    Cautions For Use

    • Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
    • In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.

    Using in combination with the FX-300 / FX-410 series

    • The FX-100 series does not use the horizontal connectors that are used with the FX-300 / FX-410 series. Please note that horizontal connection cannot be performed using a connector attached cable. In addition, the optical communication function is not equipped on the FX-100 series, so it is unable to perform interference prevention for use with the FX-300 / FX-410 series.
      If using the FX-100 series together with the FX-300 / FX-410 series side-by-side, please set the same models together in groups.

    Mounting

    <When using a DIN rail>

    How to mount the amplifier

    [1]Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier on a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.

    [2]Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the unit on the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting section to the DIN rail.

    How to remove the amplifier

    [1]Push the amplifier forward.

    [2]Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.

    Mounting When using a DIN rail How to remove the amplifier

    Note: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.

    <When using screws with washers>

    • Use M3 screws with washers for mounting. The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.

    Mounting When using screws with washers

    Wiring

    • Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the amplifiers.
    • Note that if a voltage exceeding the reted range is applied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected, the product may get burnt or damaged.
    • Note that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the product.
    • 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.
    • Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Make sure to use the quick-connection cable (optional) for the connection of the controller.
      Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm2 or more, cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

    PRO mode

    • PRO mode appears after the MODE key is pressed for 4 sec. in RUN mode.
    Setting itemFactory settingDescription
    Shift setting
    [Shift amount 15 %]
    Shift amount can be selected from 0 to 80 % in the limit teaching. Select 0 % when it is desired to set the present incident light intensity as a threshold value.
    External input setting
    [Emission halt]
    External input can be selected from emission halt, limit teaching [+], limit teaching [-], full-auto teaching, ECO (Note 1), 2-point teaching or emission amount test. When setting the incident light intensity test “”, output turns ON / OFF every 100ms when the rate of incident light intensity and threshold value is less than half of the set shift amount (for example, when the rate of incident light intensity and threshold value is within ±10 % for 20 % of shift amount) at external input.
    Threshold value-storing setting mode (Note 2)Threshold value set at the limit teaching, full-auto teaching or 2-point teaching by external input is stored. When selecting Auto in the emission amount setting mode, the set emission amount level is also stored.
    Threshold value follow-up cycle setting (Note 3)When incident light intensity exceeds threshold value, this mode can change the threshold value with each set cycle depending on variations of the incident light intensity. The follow-up shift amount is same as the one set in the shift setting mode. However, the threshold value is not stored.
    GETA function setting (Note 4, 5)Variations can be reduced by correcting the present incident light intensity in each amplifier to a target value. Target value to offset incident light intensity can be selected from 0 to 2,000 by 100 unit each. For example, if the target value is set to 2,000 when the incident light intensity is 1,500, the incident light intensity becomes 2,000.
    ECO settingIt is possible to light up / turn off the digital display. When ECO setting mode is ON, the display turns off in 20 sec. approx. in RUN mode. To light up the display again, press any key for 2 sec. or more.
    Digital display inversion settingDigital display can be inverted.
    Threshold value margin settingMargin for threshold value to the present incident light intensity can be checked. When there is no margin, it is possible to make the digital display blink.
    : Set to “OFF”: does not function
    : Green blinks.
    : Red blinks.
    : Red and green blink.
    : When conducting limit teaching or 2-point teaching by external input, in case the rate of reference incident light intensity and threshold value after teaching is 200% or more, or in case it is less than half of the shift amount, output turns ON / OFF every 100 ms. (Note 6)
