In addition to a “four-chemical emitting element” which
suppresses changes in the light emitting element over
time so that a stable level of light emission can be
maintained over long periods, a “APC (Auto Power
Control) circuit” has also been adopted afresh. The light
emitting amount can be controlled in minute degrees
so that even changes occurring over very short periods
can be handled, allowing stable sensing performance by
suppressing deviations in light emitting amounts caused
by changes in the ambient environment that could not
previously be suppressed.

Stable sensing over long and short periods
FX-301 FX-301-HS FX-305 Even greater sensing range All models
Adoption of a “double coupling lens” that increases
emission efciency to its maximum limits and greatly
increases sensing range. Sensing ranges with small
diameter bers and ultra-small diameter bers, which
have become very popular due to the miniaturization of
chip components, have been increased by 50 % over
previous values achieved with other ampliers.

If the light receiving level becomes saturated during close-range sensing or when sensing
transparent or minute objects, you can adjust the light emitting amount of the sensor to
stabilize sensing without needing to change the response time. Sensing that previously
required the response time or bers to be changed can now be set much more easily using
this function.

Detecting the presence or absence of labels
Detecting the presence or absence of ICs on a tray
You can set upper and lower limits for
the threshold values using the window
comparator mode and turn ON / OFF
the incident light intensity
within that limit.
Detecting the passage of small objects
The differential sensing mode will only
detect rapid changes in the amount of
light, which makes it
possible for small
objects to be
detected.
The light-emitting amount selection
function can even stabilize detection
of transparent labels that saturate the

Simplied systems using new operating modes FX-305
A window comparator mode and
differential sensing mode have
been added. These modes make
it easy to carry out sensing tasks
that previously required multiple
sensors or involved complex
threshold settings.
Upper and lower limits for threshold
values can be set so that the incident light
intensity can turn on and off within those
ranges. Single output is used, so that
only one cable is required, and no PLC
processing is required either.

Connector type
One unit can be used as either a main unit or sub unit
The amplier unit can be used as either a main unit
or a sub unit. This feature allows for easy mounting in
the side-by-side conguration. The main and sub unit
functions are distinguished only by the proper use of the
main cable and the sub cable.
Moreover, inventory management and maintenance is
simplied.
An optical communication function allows up to *16 sensors
to be adjusted simultaneously
FX-301
FX-305
The optical communication function allows the data that is
currently set to be copied and saved all at once for all ampliers
connected together from the right side. This greatly reduces
troublesome setup tasks and makes setup much smoother. In
addition, troublesome adjustment operations at times such as
when replacing
sensors can also be
carried out easily
and data can also be
copied and stored
using the optical
communication
function.
Single copy & save operation for all amplifiers
* Use the optical communication function for only the same types of sensors. Furthermore,
the FX-301-HS is not equipped with optical communication function capability.
Settings can be entered directly using numerical input
All models
Every function can be directly set merely by the input
of a four digit code (numbers) from the code table. This
convenient feature is easy to set up. In the event that
settings are accidentally changed at the operating site,
merely entering the correct code can restore the original
settings. This results in easy and quick maintenance.
First digit: Settings for response time and hysteresis
Second digit: Settings for L/D ON and display mode
Fourth digit: Timer period settings
Third digit: Settings for Adjust lock and timer

Sensing range when using in combination with FR-Z50HW reector (Optional)
Note: The sensing range is the possible setting range for the reector. The ber can detect an object less than setting range for the reector. However, note that if
there are any white or highly-reective surfaces near the ber head, reected incident light may affect the ber head. If this occurs, adjust the threshold value
of the amplier unit before use.
The sensing ranges are the value for red LED types.

Notes: 1) Please contact our ofce about the sensing ranges for FX-301-HS in H-SP mode.
2) Note that the sensing range of the free-cut type ber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the ber is cut.
The sensing range of FR-KZ22E is specied for the attached reector. The sensing range of FR-KZ50E and FR-KZ50H is specied for the attached
reector RF-003. The sensing range of FR-Z50HW is specied for the RF-13.
3) The sensing range is the possible setting range for the attached reector. The ber can detect an object less than setting range for the reector. However,
note that if there are any white or highly-reective surfaces near the ber head, reected incident light may affect the ber head. If this occurs, adjust the
threshold value of the amplier unit before use.
Fibers are listed in alphabetic order. Refer to p.5~ “Fiber Selection” for details of each ber.

Notes: 1) Note that the sensing range of the free-cut type ber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the ber is cut.
2) The sensing range is the possible setting range for the attached reector. The ber can detect an object less than setting range for the reector.
However, note that if there are any white or highly-reective surfaces near the ber head, reected incident light may affect the ber head. If this occurs,
adjust the threshold value of the amplier unit before use.
Fibers are listed in alphabetic order. Refer to p.5~ “Fiber Selection” for details of each ber.

Notes: 1) Be careful sure to use it only after you have adjusted it sufciently when installing the thru-beam type ber equipped with the expansion lens, as the
beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difcult.
2) The sensing ranges are the values for red LED type amplier. Please contact our ofce for details on sensing ranges for other types of ampliers.
3) The ber cable length practically limits the sensing range.
4) The ber cable length for the FT-H30-M1V-S is 1 m 3.281 ft. The sensing ranges in U-LG and LONG modes take into account the length of the FT-J8
atmospheric side ber.
5) Refer to p.15, p18, p.33 and p.35 for the ambient temperatures of bers to be used in combination.

Cascading
• Make sure that the power supply is off while adding or
removing the ampliers.
• Make sure to check the allowable ambient temperature,
as it depends on the number of ampliers connected in
cascade.
• In case two, or more, ampliers are connected in
cascade, make sure to mount them on a DIN rail.
• When the ampliers move on the DIN rail depending on
the attaching condition or the ampliers are mounted
close to each other in cascade, t them between the
optional end plates (MS-DIN-E) mounted at the two
ends.
• Up to maximum 15 ampliers can be added (total 16
ampliers connected in cascade.)
• When connecting more than two ampliers in cascade,
use the sub cable (CN-71-C□ / CN-72-C□) as the
quick-connection cable for the second amplier
onwards.
• When connecting ampliers not close to each other
in parallel, be sure to mount the optional end plate
(MS-DIN-E) at both sides of each amplier or afx the
communication window seal of the accessory amplier
protection seal (FX-MB1) to the communication
windows.
• The settings other than the interference prevention
function cannot be transmitted between FX-301(P)
FX-301B/G/H(P), FX-305(P). Therefore, in case both
models of ampliers are mounted in cascade, be sure
to mount identical models together. However, the
interference prevention function is not incorporated in
the FX-301(P)-HS. Take care when the sensors are
mounted in cascade.
• If the FX-301(P) updated version unit or the FX-305(P)
is mounted with the FX-301(P) previous version unit or
the FX-301B/G/H(P) in cascade, place the FX-301(P)
updated version units and the FX-305(P) units to
the right side (seen from the connector side) of the
previous version units. For details, refer to “Cautions
on sensor connection in cascade”.
For a difference between the updated version unit
and the previous version unit, refer to “A difference
between the updated version unit and the previous
version unit”.
• The communication function of this product and that of
the FX-301(P)-F / F7 is different. If these models are
mounted in cascade, afx the accessory ber amplier
protection seal (FX-MB1) included in the FX-301(P)
and FX-305(P) to the communication windows of the
ampliers.
Mounting
Connection
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE Refer to p.1458~ for general precautions and to the “PRO mode operation guide”
on our website for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplier.
• The digital ber sensor FX-301(P) has been modied
since its production in June 2004. The explanations
below are about the modied product.
• 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 protection
applicable in each region or country.

How to mount the amplier
Fit the rear part of the mounting section of the
amplier on a 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.
Press down the rear part of the mounting
section of the unit on the 35 mm 1.378 in width
DIN rail and t the front part of the mounting
section to the 35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail.
How to remove the amplier
Push the amplier forward.
Lift up the front part of the amplier
to remove it.
Note: Take care that if the front part is lifted without pushing the
amplier forward, the hook on the rear portion of the mounting
section is likely to break.
Fiber installation
• Insert the ber into the amplier after attaching the
attachment. Refer to the "Instruction Manual" included
with the ber for details.
• Make sure that the power supply is off while connecting
or disconnecting the quick-connection cable.
35 mm 1.378 in width

Push the ber lock lever down.
Slowly insert the ber into the insertion
slot until it stops. (Note 1)
Push the ber lock lever back up until
it stops.
Holding the connector of the
quick-connection cable, align
its projection with the groove
at the top portion of the
amplier connector.
Insert the connector till a click
is felt.
Notes: 1)
Note that if the ber is not fully inserted, the sensing distance will
decrease. Also note that the exible ber may bend during insertion.
2)
In case of coaxial reective type bers (FD-G4, FD-FM2, etc.),
mount the central ber (single-core) to the emitter part and the
peripheral ber (multi-core) to the receiver. Note that sensing
precision will deteriorate when done in reverse.

Do not use a quick-connection cable
whose projection has broken.
Further, do not pull by holding the
cable, as this can cause a
cable-break.

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 amplier. Extension up to total 100
m 328.084 ft is possible with 0.3 mm2, 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
conrmation 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
inammable or explosive gases.
• Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
Note: 3 seconds or more for FX-301B/G/H(P).
