PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Cautions on sensor connection in cascade

• When the units of the group A and the group B are

connected in cascade as

<Figure B> shown above,

optical communications cannot be done. When the

optical communications function is used, connect them as

<Figure A> shown above. If the units cannot be placed

as

<Figure A>, the following measure 1 or 2 should be

taken.

1

Affix the communication window seal of the accessory

fiber amplifier protection seal (

FX-MB1) to the

communication window of the

FX-301(P) updated

version unit or

FX-305(P).

2

If the measure 1 described above cannot be taken,

change the optical communications spec. of the group B

units.

• When the units in the group A and the group B shown in

the table below are connected in cascade, connect them

in cascade as

<Figure A> shown below.

FX-41□(P), LS-401(P) (Note 2)

Group B FX-301(P): Updated version

unit (Note 1),

FX-305(P)

Notes: 1) For the difference between the updated

version unit and the previous version

unit, refer to “

A difference between the

updated version unit and the previous

version unit”.

2) When

LS-401(P) is connected with the

digital fiber amplifier in cascade, be sure to

locate

LS-401(P) at the left-most position

(when viewed from the connector side).

Mount the amplifiers, one by

one, on the 35 mm 1.378 in

width DIN rail.

Slide the amplifiers next to each

other, and connect the quick-

connection cables.

Mount the optional end plates

(

MS-DIN-E) at both the ends to

hold the amplifiers between

their flat sides.

Tighten the screws to fix the

end plates.

• Change the communication specification of Group B

according to the following procedures. Make sure to set the

communication specification to “ (Group A communication

specification)” or “ (Optical Communication Stop)”.

Dismantling

Cascading method

How to change the communication specification of Group B

Loosen the screws of the end

plates.

Remove the end plates.

Slide the amplifiers and remove

them one by one.

Notes: 4) When the communication specification is set to “ (Group A

communication specification)”, make sure to tightly attach the

products. Also make sure to take note of the following:

• There are instances when the optical communication function

cannot be used due to the usage environment, etc.

• Do not perform batch channel loading or saving.

<Changing Procedure>

Display [PRO4].

Long press the [Jog Switch] and

[MODE key] at the same time.

(Note 3)

When you release the [Jog Switch] and

[MODE key], the communication specification

will be set and “PRO4” will be displayed.

Notes: 3) Every time the [Jog Switch] and the [MODE key] is

simultaneously long pressed, the display changes in

this sequence: “ ”→“ ”→“ ”→“ ”→“ ”.

• When the power supply is switched on, communication

self-check is carried out and normal condition is

displayed [MODE indicator / RUN (green)] lights up and

the digital display shows the incident light intensity.

• When the MODE key is pressed, the mode will change as

shown in the following diagram.

When Jog switch is pressed, the setting is confirmed.

When MODE key is pressed for 2 sec., or more, the sensor returns to the ‘RUN’ mode.

Cancellation is possible by pressing MODE key during setting.

Refer to p.1458~ for general precautions and to the “PRO mode operation guide”

on our website for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplifier.
