Industry’s No. 1!*
Three times higher emission power and 1.6 times longer sensing range than conventional models!

* As of January 2016, survey by our company

Ample sensing distance even with thin fiber

The sensing range of the thin reflective type fiber is about 1.6 times longer than that of a conventional product (the sensing range of the standard reflective type fiber is about 1.4 times longer). This adds extra flexibility to the sensor layout.

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

When the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

Easy adjustment of beam axis

Thanks to the high emission power, a slight deviation of beam axis causes no problem. It is ideal for use in dusty areas* or for detection through an extremely small slit.

Equipped with a mode to minimize the effect of ambient light

When setting to activate the environment resistance mode in the emission frequency setting, the ambient illuminance for LED lights becomes about 2.5 times higher than that in the normal mode. This reduces erroneous detections caused by LED lights.

Simplified functions for improved operation ease

The FX-500 series and newer models are equipped with only basic functions for improved ease of use. No matter which model you select, they are all easy to use.

MODE NAVI + Direct setting

MODE NAVI uses three indicators and a dual display to show the amplifier’s basic operations. The current operation mode can be confirmed at a glance, so even a first-time user can easily operate the amplifier.

No need to specify a main unit or sub unit

All FX-500 amplifiers can be used as either a main unit or a sub unit. Just use a main cable or a sub cable to distinguish the two. This reduces the costs of inventory management.

Wire-saving, space-saving

The quick-connection cables enable reduction in wiring. The connections and man-hours required for the relay terminal block setup can be reduced and valuable space is saved.

* Connection of up to 16 units with FX-500 / FX-400 / DPS-400 / LS-400 is possible.

* The optical communication function can not be used.

Specifications

Notes:

1. Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2. In case of using the quick-connection cable (cable length 5 m 16.404 ft) (optional).
3. When set to LONG, U-LG, HYPR, IP-F or IP-R, the time range cannot be set to 1/10 ms.
4. This function increases the hysteresis. Check the sensing condition when using the function.
