Wiring Key-lock function
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC
power supply. If an autotransformer (single winding
transformer) is used, this product or the power supply
may get damaged.
• Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for
the connection of the amplier. Extension up to total 100
m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm
2
, or more, cable.
(5-8 unit expansion: 50 m 164.042 ft, 9-16 unit
expansion: 20 m 65.617 ft) However, in order to reduce
noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
• Note that the residual voltage will increase when the
cable is extended.
• If jog switch and MODE key are pressed for more than
2 sec. at the same time in ‘RUN’ mode condition, the
key operations are locked, and only the threshold value
conrmation function or the adjust function (valid only
when the adjust lock function is canceled) is valid.
To cancel the lock function, press both the keys for more
than 2 sec. once again.
Others
• When the emission halt of the light emitting amount
selection function is set from “OFF” to “ON”, the output
may be unstable. Do not use the output control for 0.5
sec. after starting emission.
• Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after
the power supply is switched on.
• Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to
uorescent lamp from a rapid-starter lamp, a high
frequency lighting device or sunlight etc. , as it may affect
the sensing performance.
• Do not use this sensor in places having excessive vapor,
dust, etc., or where it may come in contact with corrosive
gas.
• Take care that the product does not come in direct
contact with water, oil, grease, or organic solvents, such
as, thinner, etc.
• This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing
inammable or explosive gases.
• Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
Note: 3 seconds or more for FX-301B/G/H(P).
