PRO mode

PRO mode appears after the MODE key is pressed for 4

sec. in RUN mode.

Setting item Factory setting

Description

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]

Extemal input can be selected from emission

halt, limit +, limit -, AUTO, and ECO.

Threshold

value

follow-up

cycle

setting

(Note 1)

[OFF]

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 2, 3)

[OFF]

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

setting

[OFF]

It 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

setting

[OFF]

Digital display can be inverted.

Threshold

value

margin

setting

[OFF]

Margin 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.

Setting

copy

[NO]

The settings of the master side amplifier can

be copied to the slave side amplifier.

Reset

[NO]

Returns to default settings (factory settings.)

Notes: 1) If the incident light intensity becomes “300” or less, the follow-up

operation stops. In that condition, threshold value [digital display

(green)] blinks.

This function can be used when thru-beam type or retroreflective

type fiber is applied to this product. If reflective type fiber is

applied, the function cannot be used depending on use conditions.

2) If MODE key is pressed in RUN mode when GETA function is

used, the incident light intensity before setting GETA function is

displayed on the red digital display for 2 sec. approx.

3) When GETA function is used in saturation of incident light intensity

(4,000 or more,) “

” is indicated on the red digital display.

Correction value is up to 4,000.

Setting copy function

This can copy the settings of the master side amplifier to

the slave side amplifier.

•

Be sure to use the setting copy function between the

identical models (Between FX-10□ models or FX-102□

models).

This function cannot be used between different

models.

Only one sensor can be connected on slave side with a

master side sensor for the setting copy function.

Threshold value, output operation setting, timer

operation setting, timer setting, light-emitting amount

setting, shift setting, ECO setting, digital display

inversion setting, and threshold value margin setting

can be copied.

<Setting procedures>

1

Set the setting copy mode of the master side amplifier to

“Copy sending ON”, and press the MODE key so that

“

” is shown on the digital display and the

sensor is in copy ready state. For the setting method,

refer to “Operation guide”.

2

Turn off the master side amplifier.

3

Connect the master side amplifier with the slave side

amplifier as shown below.

4

Turn on the master side amplifier and the slave side

amplifier at the same time. (Note)

5

“

” is shown on the green digital display of the master

side amplifier and 4-digit code is shown on the red

digital display of it, then the copying starts. During copy

communication, “

” is shown on the green digital

display of the slave side amplifier, and the ongoing copy

communication indicator (“

”“

”“

”

“

”) is displayed on the red digital display.

6

When the copying is completed, “

” is shown on the

green digital display of the slave side amplifier, while the

4-digit code (the same code as the master side amplifier)

is shown on the red digital display of it.

7

Turn off the power of the master side amplifier and the

slave side amplifier and disconnect the wire.

Note: Take care that if the power is not turned on at the same time, the

setting contents may not be copied.

<To cancel the setting copy mode of the master side amplifier>

1

While the slave side amplifier is disconnected, turn on

the power of the master side amplifier.

2

Press the MODE key for 2 sec. approx.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Refer to p.986~ for general precautions, and to the “Operation Guide” or “SUNX website”

(http://www.sunx.com) for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplifier.
