PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Refer to p.1458~ for general precautions.

• 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.

Mounting

• Make sure that the power supply is off while

connecting / disconnecting the amplifiers and the

quick-connection cables.

How to mount the amplifier

Fit the rear part of the mounting section

of the amplifier on a width DIN rail.

Press down the rear part of the

mounting section of the unit on the

width DIN rail and fit the front part of

the mounting section to the DIN rail. 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail

How to remove the amplifier

Push the amplifier forward.

Lift up the front part of the amplifier

to remove it.

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.

• Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.

• Take care 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Take care that short circuit of the load 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.

• Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft (if 5 to 8 units are

connected in cascade: 50 m 164.042 ft, if 9 to 16 units

are connected in cascade: 20 m 65.617 ft) is possible

with 0.3 mm2, or more, cable. However, in order to

reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

• Take care that cable extension increases the residual

voltage.

Part description

Fiber installation

• Insert the fiber into the amplifier after attaching the

attachment. Refer to the "Instruction Manual" included

with the fiber for details.

Push the fiber lock lever down.

Slowly insert the fiber into the insertion

slot until it stops. (Note 1)

Push the fiber lock lever back up until

it stops.

Notes: 1) Note that if the fiber is not fully inserted, the sensing distance will

decrease. Also note that the flexible fiber may bend during insertion.

2) In case of coaxial reflective type fibers, mount the central

fiber (single-core) to the emitter part and the peripheral fiber

(multi-core) to the receiver. Note that sensing precision will

deteriorate when done in reverse.
