Cascading
• Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or
removing the ampliers.
• Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature,
as it depends on the number of ampliers connected in
cascade.
• In case two, or more, ampliers are connected in
cascade, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.
• When the ampliers move on the DIN rail depending on
the attaching condition or the ampliers are mounted
close to each other in cascade, t them between the
optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two
ends.
• Up to maximum 15 ampliers can be added (total 16
ampliers connected in cascade.)
• When connecting more than two ampliers in cascade,
use the sub cable (CN-71-C□ / CN-72-C□) as the
quick-connection cable for the second amplier
onwards.
• When connecting ampliers not close to each other
in parallel, be sure to mount the optional end plate
(MS-DIN-E) at both sides of each amplier or afx the
communication window seal of the accessory amplier
protection seal (FX-MB1) to the communication
windows.
• The settings other than the interference prevention
function cannot be transmitted between FX-301(P)
FX-301B/G/H(P), FX-305(P). Therefore, in case both
models of ampliers are mounted in cascade, be sure
to mount identical models together. However, the
interference prevention function is not incorporated in
the FX-301(P)-HS. Take care when the sensors are
mounted in cascade.
• If the FX-301(P) updated version unit or the FX-305(P)
is mounted with the FX-301(P) previous version unit or
the FX-301B/G/H(P) in cascade, place the FX-301(P)
updated version units and the FX-305(P) units to
the right side (seen from the connector side) of the
previous version units. For details, refer to “Cautions
on sensor connection in cascade”.
For a difference between the updated version unit
and the previous version unit, refer to “A difference
between the updated version unit and the previous
version unit”.
• The communication function of this product and that of
the FX-301(P)-F / F7 is different. If these models are
mounted in cascade, afx the accessory ber amplier
protection seal (FX-MB1) included in the FX-301(P)
and FX-305(P) to the communication windows of the
ampliers.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to General precautions, p.80~ for ber precautions, and to the “PRO mode operation
guide” on our website for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplier.
• The digital ber sensor FX-301(P) has been modied
since its production in June 2004. The explanations
below are about the modied product.
• 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.

How to mount the amplier
Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the
amplier on a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting
section of the unit on the 35 mm 1.378 in width
DIN rail and t the front part of the mounting
section to the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.
How to remove the amplier
Push the amplier forward.
Lift up the front part of the amplier
to remove it.
Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the
amplier forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting
section is likely to break.
Fiber installation
• Insert the ber into the amplier after attaching the
attachment. Refer to the "Instruction Manual" included
with the ber for details.
• Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting
or disconnecting the quick-connection cable.

Push the ber lock lever down.
Slowly insert the ber into the insertion
slot until it stops. (Note 1)
Push the ber lock lever back up until
it stops.
Holding the connector of the
quick-connection cable, align
its projection with the groove
at the top portion of the
amplier connector.
Insert the connector till a click
is felt.
Notes: 1) Note that if the ber is not fully inserted, the sensing distance will
decrease. Also note that the exible ber may bend during insertion.
2) In case of coaxial reective type bers (FD-G4, FD-FM2, etc.),
mount the central ber (single-core) to the emitter part and the
peripheral ber (multi-core) to the receiver. Note that sensing
precision will deteriorate when done in reverse.

Quick-connection cable
Pressing the projection at the
top of the quick-connection
cable, pull out the connector.
Note: Take care that if the connector
is pulled out without pressing the
projection, the projection may break.
Do not use a quick-connection cable
whose projection has broken.
Further, do not pull by holding the
cable, as this can cause a
cable-break.
