CAUTIONS
● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the ampliers.
● 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 be damaged.
● Take care that short-circuit of the load or 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.
● The specication may not be satised in a strong magnetic eld.
● Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
● 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.
● The ultra long distance (U-LG, HYPR) mode is more likely to be affected by
extraneous noise since the sensitivity of that is higher than the other modes.
Make sure to check the environment before use.
● Do not use during the initial transient time (H-SP, FAST, STD: 0.5 sec., LONG,
U-LG, HYPR: 1 sec.) after the power supply is switched ON.
● Be sure to using the quick connection cable (optional) as cable. When you ex-
tend the cable, be sure to use cables which have 0.3mm
2
or more of conductor
cross-section area. Extension up to total 100m is possible. However, in order
to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
● Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensor
cable joint and ber cable.
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
● Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, organic
solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inammable or ex-
plosive gasses.
● Never disassemble or modify the product.
● This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done 100 thousand times
or more because of the EEPROM’s lifetime.

OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
● When the setting of data bank loading / saving, copy setting, or copy action
setting is conducted via optical communications, cascade the sub ampliers
right side to the main amplier as follows.
However, in case using data bank loading / saving, use
FX-502
□ or
FX-505
□
-C2
as main amplier.
● If an amplier is under any of the following conditions, the setting of data bank
loading / saving, or copy setting cannot be carried out.
• Copy lock setting is set to copy lock ON “ .”
• Digital display is blinking
• External input setting of main amplier is set to
“ .
” (Only data-
bank loading / saving)
● When communication protocol of a
sub amplifier is set to communication
emission halt “ ” the setting
of data bank loading / saving, or copy
setting cannot be carried out to sub
ampliers subsequent to the mentioned
amplier.
● Make sure to mount closely like follows
since interference prevention function is
conducted by optical communication.

● When this product and other products (e.g. ber sensor ampliers, pressure
sensor controllers, etc.) are connected together in cascade, install those prod-
ucts so that they are in order of Group A, B, D and C as shown in the right g-
ure. This product is included in Group D.

● As for the products that are located between different groups, afx the ampli-
er protection seal

(optional) on the communication window of each
corresponding product.
● Within each group, identical models should be connected in a lump.
● In case conducting copy setting of this device and other

er, functions which are incorporated in this device will be copied but functions
which are not incorporated in this device will not be copied.

INTERFERENCE PREVENTION FUNCTION
● This device incorporates an interference prevention function by setting different emit-
ting frequencies from an interference prevention function by optical communication.
● For Interference prevention function setting procedure, refer to
<PRO5>
in
“
PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL
.”
● Possible number of ampliers for interference prevention function is different
as shown in table below.
Response time
Interference
prevention function setting
H-SP FAST STD LONG U-LG HYPR
0 2 4 8 8 12
● In case putting in more ampliers than limit of interference prevention function,
put the amplier protection seal to amplier which is adjacent of end of an ampli-
er that the interference function is valid or set OFF in communication protocol
setting of the end of amplier that the interference prevention function is valid.
Example: Putting in 12 of this device and set STD of response time setting.
• Possible number of interference prevention is 4.
Put the amplier protection seals 4th and 5th ampliers and between 8th
and 9th ampliers or change the communication protocol setting of 4th and
8th to OFF since interference prevention works from 1st to 4th, from 5th to
8th and 9th to 12th.
