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 afreshly. 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.
Adoption of a ‘double coupling lens’ that
increases emission efficiency to its
maximum limits and greatly increases
sensing range. Sensing ranges with small
diameter fibers and ultra-small diameter
fibers, which have become very popular due
to the miniaturization of chip components,
have been increased by 50 % over previous
values achieved with other amplifiers.

If the light receiving level becomes saturated during closerange 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 fibers to be changed can now be set much more
easily using this function.

sensors are to be installed in scattered locations
or if more sensors are added.
Liquid level detection sensor 1
Mapping sensor
High-speed communication at a maximum speed
of 57.6 kbps allows the operator to instantly
confirm information such as the incident light
intensity and output statuses of the digital sensors.
Ideal for workplaces such as semiconductor
and LCD manufacturing lines where there are
restrictions on operators entering and exiting
Less wiring and installation work
Up to a maximum of 16 sensors can be connected
side-by-side. Power can be supplied to all of them at
once, so that less wiring and installation work is
required. Wire-saving connectors also makes it possible
to send output signals to the PLC in a single batch.

Notes: 1) Refer to p.27 for the sensing ranges for the FX-301-HS in H-SP mode and for the FX-301B/G/H.
2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
3) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type. Please contact our office for information on the minimum sensing object size if using
amplifiers other than red LED type.
The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent
condition.

Notes: 1) Please contact our office for the sensing ranges for the FX-301-HS in H-SP mode and for the FX-301B/G/H.
2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
The sensing range of FR-WKZ11 is specified for the RF-13. The sensing range of FR-KZ21, FR-KZ21E and FR-KV1 is specified for the attached
reflector.
3) The sensing range of FR-WKZ11 is the possible setting range for the reflector or reflective tape. The fiber can detect an object less than 100 mm 3.937 in
away.
However, note that if there are any white or highly-reflective surfaces near the fiber head, reflected incident light may affect the fiber head. If this occurs,
adjust the threshold value of the amplifier unit before use.
The sensing range of FR-KZ21(E) is the possible setting range for the reflector. However, if setting the fiber to detect objects passing within 0 to 20 mm
0 to 0.787 in from the fiber head, unstable detection may result.
The sensing range of FR-KV1 is the possible setting range for the reflector. The fiber can detect an object less than 15 mm 0.591 in away.
4) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type.
The optimum condition is the condition when the sensitivity is set so that the sensing output just changes to light incident operation in the object absent
condition.
FX-305 / FX-301 (Red LED type) sensing range (Note 1)
The FX-305 and FX-301(-HS) have different sensing modes.
FX-305: H-SP, FAST, STD, STDF, LONG, U-LG (no S-D mode)

3) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
4) The minimum sensing object size is the value for red LED type at maximum sensitivity. Note that the corresponding setting distance is different from the
rated sensing distance. However, with the covergent reflective type, when the sensitivity is at MAX., it is only possible to detect the minimum size of the
sensing object at a distance corresponding to the convergent point.

Note: The sensing range indicates the allowable setting range for the reflector. The fiber head can detect objects at distances of 100 mm 3.937 in or less.
However, note that if there are any white or highly-reflective surfaces near the fiber head, reflected incident light may affect the fiber head. If this occurs,
adjust the threshold value of the amplifier before use.

Notes: 1) Be careful when installing the thru-beam type fiber equipped with the expansion lens, as the beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difficult. Especially
when installing a fiber with many cores (sharp bending fibers and heat-resistant glass fiber), please be sure to use it only after you have adjusted it sufficiently.
2) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range to 3,500 mm 137.795 in long (FT-H20W-M1, FT-P81X and FT-H20-M1: 1,600 mm 62.992 in).
3) The sensing ranges are the values for red LED type amplifier. Please contact our office for details on sensing ranges for other types of amplifiers.
4) The fiber cable length for the FT-H30-M1V 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 fiber.

It’s possible to simultaneously cut two fibers to the same length
Each fiber (with some exceptions) has a newly
developed two-in-one fiber attachment
(FX-AT3/AT4/AT5/AT6) which enables two
fibers to be cut simultaneously to the same
length with the new fiber cutter (FX-CT2). Also,
since the fibers can be attached to the amplifier
while being fixed in position in the two-in-one
fiber attachment, sensitivity changes resulting
from variation in the amount of fiber insertion do
not occur.

Teaching
In case of limit teaching
• The threshold values can be set by normal mode (2-level teaching, limit teaching
or full-auto teaching) or window comparator mode (1-level / 2-level / 3-level
teaching) [FX-305(P) only], when the MODE indicator / TEACH (yellow) lights up.
• This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching only the object
absent condition (stable incident light condition). This is used for detection
in the presence of a background body or for detection of minute objects.
In case of 2-level teaching
• This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching two levels, corresponding to
the object present and object absent conditions. Normally, setting is done by this method.

Timer operation setting
• When the MODE indicator / TIMER (yellow) lights up, you can set
the type of timer and whether the timer is to be used or not. For the
FX-301B/G/H, the type of timer is set in PRO mode.
• Further, an OFF-delay which is useful when the response of the
connected device is slow, etc., an ON-delay which is useful to detect only
objects taking a long time to travel, and ONE-SHOT, which is useful
when the input specifications of the connected device require a signal of
a fixed width, are possible with the FX-301(-HS). [Furthermore, ONdelay • OFF-delay and ON-delay • ONE-SHOT timer are incorporated for
FX-305(P).]
Cascading amplifiers
• The FX-301(P), FX-301B/G/H(P) and FX-305(P) cannot use
communication for any settings other than the automatic
interference prevention function. When using these amplifiers as
well, use only the same type of amplifiers all together. However, the
FX-301-HS(P) is not equipped with an optical communication
function for setting the automatic interference prevention function,
so be aware of this when using these amplifiers with other amplifiers.
• 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
units to the right side (seen from the connector side) of the previous
version units. 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’ (P.34).

Output operation setting
Step
• PRO settings can be done when MODE indicator / PRO (yellow) lights up.
• If the jog switch and the MODE key are pressed for more than 3 sec. at
the same time in RUN mode condition, the key operations are locked,
and only the threshold value confirmation function or the adjust
function (valid only when the adjust lock function is canceled) is valid.
Wiring
• When the emission halt of the emitting power switching 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.
• 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 sensor 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 or wrong wiring of the load may burn or damage the sensor.
• 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.
• Ensure that an isolation transformer is utilized for the DC power supply. If an
auto transformer is utilized, the main amplifier or power supply may be damaged.
• Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for the connection of the
amplifier [FX-301(P)(-HS) / FX-305(P)]. Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft (50 m
164.042 ft for 5 to 8 units, 20 m 65.617 ft for 9 to 16 units,) is possible with 0.3 mm2, or
more, cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
Others
• Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec. approx.) after the
power supply is switched on.
• Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent light
from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it
may affect the sensing performance.
• This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
• Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
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 inflammable
or explosive gasses.
• Never disassemble or modify the sensor.

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.
Points to note when combining sensor types
When using the newer sensors together with previous version
units (including the FX-301B/G/H), note the following.
• Communication is possible when the previous version units and
the updated version units are used in an arrangement such as
that shown in Figure A below.
• If the previous version units and the updated version units are used in
an arrangement such as that shown in Figure B below, the interference
prevention function and the PRO4 function cannot be used.
• In order to use the interference prevention function and the PRO4 function when
using previous version units and the updated version units together, it is
recommended that you use an arrangement such as that shown in Figure C below.

External Input Unit for Digital Sensor / FX-CH2
Conforming to
EMC Directive
Support for stable sensing and
smooth setup changes!
Teaching and data bank switching for up to a maximum of
16 digital fiber sensors (FX-301 and FX-305) can be
carried out all at once using an external device such as a
PLC, touch screen or switch.
Applications involving smooth setup operations
Setup changes (external automatic teaching / data bank switching)
Digital fiber settings can be changed using input from a touch screen or switch, so that
production line setup changes can be carried out more easily.
External teaching
Full-auto teaching is recommended for teaching when the sensing object is changed
without stopping the line.
Data bank switching
Settings such as output operations (L-ON / D-ON) and timer operations can be recorded
in the digital fiber sensor’s data bank and switching can be carried out externally.
m Up to 3 files can be stored.
FX-CH2 function list
Teaching input
Key lock setting input
The following types of external teaching can be carried out.
● Full-auto teaching ● Limit teaching ‘’
● Limit teaching ‘’ ● 2-level teaching
The key lock function that prevents incorrect operations by operators can
be set on and off.
Data bank switching input
Switching between 3 channels of data banks and loading and saving of
all channels at once can be carried out.

Limit teaching ‘’ is the opposite of limit teaching ‘’, so that
the threshold value setting is shifted toward a higher setting to
make it more than the incident light intensity during teaching.
When limit teaching is not used
If dust or other particles cause changes
in the incident light intensity with
respect to the initial threshold setting
value, sensing can become unstable
and incorrect operations can occur.
