Cascading

• Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or

removing the amplifiers.

• Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature,

as it depends on the number of amplifiers connected in

cascade.

• In case two, or more, amplifiers are connected in

cascade, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.

• When the amplifiers move on the DIN rail depending

on the attaching condition or the amplifiers are

mounted close to each other in cascade, fit them

between the optional end plates (

MS-DIN-E) mounted

at the two ends.

• Up to maximum 15 amplifiers can be added (total 16

amplifiers connected in cascade.)

• When connecting more than two amplifiers in

cascade, use the sub cable (

CN-71-C□) as the quick-

connection cable for the second amplifier onwards.

• When connecting amplifiers not close to each other

in parallel, be sure to mount the optional end plate

(

MS-DIN-E) at both sides of each amplifier or affix

the communication window seal of the optional

fiber amplifier protection seal (

FX-MB1) to the

communication windows. For details, refer to the

instruction manual enclosed with the

FX-MB1.

• When the different LED (red / blue / green) types are

connected in cascade, mount the identical models

together.

• When this product is used with the other digital fiber

amplifiers, be sure to place this product to the left

most position (When you look from the connector

side). If this product is not placed to the leftmost

position, this product may not operate properly.

• When the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or

more, “SET” mode (mode setting screen) is activated.

• If the setting switch is pressed while in “SET” mode, the

mode will change.

• If the threshold value adjuster is turned while a mode is

active, the setting item will change and blink.

• When the setting switch is pressed at the item you

would like to set, it blinks 3 times and then the setting is

confirmed and the mode switches to the next mode.

• If the setting switch is pressed and held for 2 sec. or

more or do not press any key for 15 sec. while “SET”

mode is active, the mode will switch automatically to

“RUN” mode.

Dismantling

Mount the amplifiers,

one by one, on the

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.

Loosen the screws of

the end plates.

Remove the end

plates.

Slide the amplifiers

and remove them

one by one.

• The operation selection switch can be used to display

different output operations (L-ON / D-ON) on the digital

display.

• When the threshold value adjuster is turned clockwise,

the threshold value increases. When the threshold value

adjuster is turned counterclockwise, the threshold value

decreases.

When set to Dark-ON (D-ON)

When set to Light-ON (L-ON)

Threshold value setting method

Check the incident light

intensity [in the digital display

(red)] when a sensing object

is placed in the sensing

position.

Check the incident light

intensity [in the digital display

(red)] when the sensing object

is removed from the sensing

position.

Turn the threshold value adjuster to the threshold value

[in the digital display (green)] that is the value in between

and . (The threshold value is automatically written

to the EEPROM.)

• If there is a sufficient level of margin in the incident

light intensity, the stability indicator (green) will light up.
