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 amplifi er 
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 amplifi er can 
be copied to the slave side amplifi er.
For details, refer to “
Setting copy function.”
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 retrorefl ective 
type fi ber is applied to this product. If refl ective type fi ber 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 amplifi er to 
the slave side amplifi er.
•
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 amplifi er 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 amplifi er.
3
 Connect the master side amplifi er with the slave side 
amplifi er as shown below.
4
 Turn on the master side amplifi er and the slave side 
amplifi er at the same time. (Note)
5
 “   ” is shown on the green digital display of the master 
side amplifi er 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 amplifi er, 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 amplifi er, while the 
4-digit code (the same code as the master side amplifi er) 
is shown on the red digital display of it.
7
 Turn off the power of the master side amplifi er and the 
slave side amplifi er and disconnect the wire.
 If copying the settings to another amplifi er repeatedly, follow the steps 
3
to 
7
.
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 amplifi er>
1
While the slave side amplifi er is disconnected, turn on 
the power of the master side amplifi er.
2
Press the MODE key for 2 sec. approx.
