Amplifi ers
The emitted light and output indicator flash
at the same frequency.
Attenuation function [SET mode]
If the light receiving level becomes saturated when
sensing over short distances or when sensing
transparent objects or minute objects, the light emitting
amount can be reduced so that stable sensing can be
provided without needing to change the response time.
Teaching using ON / OFF buttons [SET mode]
Simply press the ON button when an object is present
and OFF when it is not. There is no need to switch
settings or make judgments between Light-ON (
)
and Dark-ON (
).
Interference prevention function [SET mode]
The emission frequencies can be set separately for
each unit in order to avoid interference. The emitted light
fl ashes while setting is in progress, so that you can see
at a glance which fi ber sensor is currently being set.
In addition, this interference prevention is not done by
using optical communication. This means that there is no
need to place the amplifi ers close together like there was
before, and so the amplifi ers can be set up apart from
each other.
FX-101□: Interference prevention for up to 3 units
FX-102□: Interference prevention for up to 4 units
Multi-function external input [PRO mode]
Settings such as emission
halt, limit / auto teaching
and ECO settings can be
carried out via external
input.

Alert function [PRO mode]
When the amount light received approaches the
threshold value, the display can be made to blink in
order to alert the operator.
* When the emission frequencies are changed, the response times will
also change.

Limit teaching function
This carries out teaching and sets threshold values only
when no object is present (when the incident light amount
is stable). This is useful when sensing objects if there
are other objects in the background and when sensing
minute objects. Teaching can also be carried out using
external input.
Threshold tracking function [PRO mode]
This function seeks changes
in the light emitting amount
resulting from changes in
the environment over long
periods (such as dust levels),
so that the incident light
intensity can be checked
at desired intervals and the
threshold values can be reset
automatically.

GETA function [PRO mode]
The display value for the incident light intensity can be offset
by the desired value (target value). The target value can be set
to between 0 and 2,000 (in increments of 100). For example, if
the incident light intensity is 1,500 and the target value is set to
2,000, then “2,000” will appear in the digital display.
Unify at 500 using
the GETA function
Variations in the amount of light received
<When using at a shift amount of 20% and a threshold value of 1,000>
The amount of light received ranges from about 900 to 1,100
when the digital indicator flashes.
