Basic Information

1.6 times longer sensing range than conventional models
Significantly improved stability and usability

CE,UKCA Approved

Features

Sensing range up to 1.6 times

Ample sensing distance even with thin fiber

The sensing range of the thin reflective type fiber is about 1.6 times longer than that of a conventional product (the sensing range of the standard reflective type fiber is about 1.4 times longer). This adds extra flexibility to the sensor layout.

Ample sensing distance even with thin fiber

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

Easy adjustment of beam axis

Thanks to the high emission power, a slight deviation of beam axis causes no problem. It is ideal for use in dusty areas* or for detection through an extremely small slit.
* Need to confirm proper operation in installed condition.

Easy adjustment of beam axis

Equipped with a mode to minimize the effect of ambient light

When setting to activate the environment resistance mode in the emission frequency setting, the ambient illuminance for LED lights becomes about 2.5 times higher than that in the normal mode. This reduces erroneous detections caused by LED lights.

Equipped with a mode to minimize the effect of ambient light

Simplified functions for improved operation ease

The FX-500 series and newer models are equipped with only basic functions for improved ease of use. No matter which model you select, they are all easy to use.

MODE NAVI + Direct setting

MODE NAVI uses three indicators and a dual display to show the amplifier’s basic operations. The current operation mode can be confirmed at a glance, so even a first-time user can easily operate the amplifier.

■List of functions in PRO mode

PRO 2Teaching lock setting, digital display item setting, digital display turning setting, Eco setting
PRO 3Display adjustment setting, reset setting, emission frequency setting, threshold value tracking setting

No need to specify a main unit or sub unit

All FX-500 amplifiers can be used as either a main unit or a sub unit. Just use a main cable or a sub cable to distinguish the two. This reduces the costs of inventory management.

No need to specify a main unit or sub unit

Wire-saving, space-saving

The quick-connection cables enable reduction in wiring. The connections and man-hours required for the relay terminal block setup can be reduced and valuable space is saved.

Wire-saving, space-saving

* Connection of up to 16 units with FX-500 / FX-400 / DPS-400 / LS-400 is possible.Note:FX-550 series is not equipped with a communication function.When connecting to the host communication units SC-GU3 series, SC-GU2-C and SC-GU1-485, please use FX-500 series.

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.

Wiring

  • Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the amplifiers.
  • Note that if a voltage exceeding the rated 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.
  • Make sure that stress by forcible bending or pulling is not applied to the sensor cable joint and fiber cable.

Others

  • This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
  • The specification may not be satisfied in a strong magnetic field.
  • The ultra long distance (U-LG, HYPR) mode is more likely to be affected by extraneous noise since the sensitivity of that is higher than the other modes. Make sure to check the environment before use.
  • Do not use during the initial transient time (H-SP, FAST, STD: 0.5 sec., LONG, U-LG, HYPR: 1 sec.) after the power supply is switched ON.
  • These sensors are only for indoor use.
  • Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
  • Make sure that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
  • This product cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or explosive gases.
  • Never disassemble or modify this product.
  • This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done a million times or more because of the EEPROM's lifetime.
