Digital Fiber Sensor FX-100-Z series
Thank you very much for purchasing Panasonic products. Read this Instruction Manual
carefully and thoroughly for the correct and optimum use of this product. Kindly keep
this manual in a convenient place for quick reference.
● 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 protec-
tion applicable in each region or country.

MOUNTING
<When using a DIN rail>
How to mount the amplifier
1. Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the amplifier
on DIN rail.
2. Press down the rear part of the mounting section of the
unit on the DIN rail and fit the front part of the mounting
section to the DIN rail.
How to remove the amplifier
1. Push the amplifier forward.
2. Lift up the front part of the amplifier to remove it.
Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the amplifier forward,
the hook on the rear portion of the mounting section is likely to break.
<When using screws with washers>
● Use M3 screws with washers for mounting. The tighten-
ing torque should be 0.5N·m or less.
How to connect the fiber cable
Be sure to fit the attachment to the fibers first before inserting the fibers to the ampli-
fier. For details, refer to the Instruction Manual enclosed with the fibers.
1. In cover open condition, snap the fiber lock lever down,
till it stops completely.
2. Insert the fiber cables slowly into the inlets until they
stop. (Note 1)
3. Return the fiber lock lever to the original position, till it
stops.
Notes: 1) In case the fiber cables are not inserted to a position where they stop, the sensing range reduces. Since a
flexible fiber is easily bent, take care when it is inserted.
2) With the coaxial reflective type fiber, such as, FD-42G or FD-61G, insert the single-core fiber cable into the
beam-emitting inlet "P" and the multi-core fiber cable into the beam-receiving inlet "D." If they are inserted in
reverse, the sensing performance will deteriorate.

WIRING
● Make sure to use the cable with connector CN-24A-C□ (optional) when connecting
to this product.
● Tighten the fixing ring of the cable with connector completely by hand when mount-
ing. (The tightening torque: 0.3 to 0.4N·m)
● Make sure to hold the side surface of this product when tightening or loosening the
fixing ring of the cable with connector.
● If the fixing ring is tightened by a tool such as pliers, it may cause connector damage.
● If the tightening torque is not enough, the fixing ring may loosen due to vibration, etc.
Connection method
● Insert the cable with connector CN-24A-C□ (optional)
into this product's connector area as shown in the right
figure.
Disconnection method
● Loosen the fixing ring, and, holding the fixing ring, pull
to separate the connector.
Note: Before disconnecting, make sure to check that the fixing ring is completely
loosened. If the cable is pulled by excessive force (15N or more) when the
fixing ring is tightened, the cable may break.

RUN MODE
<Digital display>
● When turning ON the power, the product name is indicated on the green digital dis-
play, while the emission frequency is indicated on the red digital display. Then switch-
es into RUN mode [digital display (green: threshold value, red: incident light intensity)].

Threshold value fine adjustment function
● Fine adjustment of threshold value can be done when in RUN mode.
● Press the set value UP key or set value DOWN key to change threshold value.
(Hold down the key to make the value change faster.)
● The threshold value is stored after 3 sec.
Keylock function
● The keylock function prevents key operations so that the conditions set in each setting
mode are not inadvertently changed.

SETTING MODE
● Setting mode appears after pressing MODE key for 2 sec. in RUN mode.
● RUN mode appears when MODE key is pressed for 2 sec. while setting and the
changed contents have been set.
● Make sure to return to RUN mode before turning OFF the power. If the power is
turned OFF while setting, the changed contents have not been set.
