A difference between the updated version unit and
the previous version unit for FX-301(P) (Red LED type)
• The product has been modied as shown below since its
production in June 2004.

* “NAVI” is printed only on a side
• Checking minor changes between previous and
updated models can be done by checking whether the
printing is on both sides or only one side.
Upgraded functions
1. Response times added
An ultra high-speed mode (H-SP) has been added to
the existing 4 response time modes [high-speed (FAST),
reduced intensity (S-D), standard (STD) and long range
(LONG)].
This is changed using “
” in “ ”
2. Extension of timer period
The setting range for the timer period was previously
500 ms, but this has been extended to a new range of
9,999 ms.
Changes in operation
1. Timer selection method
Previous version unit: Timer type was changed using PRO1 mode.
The “TIMER” setting in NAVI mode could
only be turned on or off.
After change: The type of timer can be changed using the “TIMER”
function in NAVI mode.
2. Checking threshold value in RUN mode
The threshold values can be checked by turning the jog switch.
Display changes
1. Checking blinking of sensitivity surplus
The stable surplus display method after teaching has been changed.
Previous version unit: Sensitivity surplus is indicated by the number
of blinks of the stability indicator .
Digital display only
After change
2. Initial direct code value changed
The factory default settings for the direct codes have been changed.
* The default setting for the timer period is 10 ms, and the direct code for
10 ms is “4”, so this has been changed.
Internal circuit changes
1. Addition of an APC circuit
A four-chemical emitting element which provides stable
sensing over long periods has been added, as well
as an APC (Auto Power Control) circuit that improves
stability during short periods.

Cautions on sensor connection in cascade
When connecting the previous version unit (including
FX-301B/G/H) and updated version unit to be used in a
cascade, refer to “Cautions on sensor connection in
cascade”.
4. Backup, copy lock and key lock functions added
Backup: This selects whether or not threshold values
set by teaching are written to (stored in) an
EEPROM.
Copy lock: This selects whether copy function and data
bank function communication are possible or
not.
Key lock: This disables input using switches to prevent
accidental changing of settings.
3. Light emitting amount selection function
The light emitting amount can be changed to one of
4 levels (5 levels when emission halt is included).
