CONCEPT
Industry leading stability
Decrease the variation among fiber sensors
High stability!
“Why are the values different even for the same detection?” “If we try to forcibly unify all the display
values of incident light intensity, we will not be able to read the actual changes.”
SUNX focuses on the variation among fiber sensors and aims for absolute digitalization.
When the FX-500 series is used together with our super quality fiber, the incident light intensity
variation among units is decreased to only 1/4 of that of conventional models.
By being close to absolute values instead of modified digital values, changes in detection that could
not be found in the past can now be monitored.

Stability in incident light
intensity and confidence in
beam adjustment
In the case where multiple fiber sensors are
installed under the same operating
conditions, the incident light intensities are
nearly identical to each other, allowing for
the specification of one threshold across all
sensors.
Because the incident light intensity is
stable, the same threshold value can be
used even when an amplifier is replaced.
Also, copying of settings is easy when used
together with optical communication.
When setting up fiber sensors in a row in the
same layout, all incident light intensities will
display nearly identical values once beams are
aligned. This helps to raise installation
precision and prevent trouble from occurring
before equipment is turned on.
Improved fiber coupling efficiency
and suppressed variation among
units
In each unit we have accurately aligned the central axis of
the fiber with the central axis of the emitted light, which
creates a high coupling efficiency that helps to reduce
variation among units.

“Super quality fiber” with

A quality that surpassed standard fiber
Introducing super quality fiber
New fibers developed using a new manufacturing method adopted by our own factory along with
a persistent quality control system
The basic performance of a standard fiber is greatly enhanced!
Variation in emission intensity of the fiber
core is controlled down to less than ±10 %,
achieving a stable detection.

essentially achieved.

Industry leading sensing performance
Ultra high-speed & Ultra long range detection

provides the capability of offering high-speed response time over a longer sensing range, opening up new possibilities for
fiber sensor detection.

FX-500 with its ultra high response time improves productivity.

Small diameter fibers with a compact head can perform long

A high speed response time of 25 μs, which is 2.6
times more than previous, and a long sensing
range are now possible in high speed mode.
The active coupling emission device efficiently
focuses the beam through small diameter fibers
The super fine optical lens and emitting element are combined
into one device enabling the beam emitted from the emitting
element to be focused directly into the fiber.
Coupling efficiency is therefore increased by 50 % compared
to standard fiber (core ø1 mm ø0.039 in). In particular, the
small diameter fibers (core ø0.5 mm ø0.020 in) see a dramatic
increase in light intensity, making challenging detections
possible.

Hysteresis is the difference in incident

output turns ON and when the output
turns OFF. Hysteresis was originally
intended to be used as a measure
against vibrations, but SUNX
provides three hysteresis modes to
suit the need of fiber sensors.

Even when the received light becomes
saturated, the FX-500 series cuts down
hysteresis to the utmost limit in order to
produce the optimal margin for detection.

Stable detection while being eco-friendly
Emission power & gain setting
For cases when the incident light intensity
saturates the receiver, the light intensity
can be attenuated to the optimal level by
AUTO without changing the response
time. This allows for stable detection
while maintaining an optimal S/N ratio
and saves energy by controlling the
emitting electric current.

FUNCTION
Selectable interference prevention
In addition to the automatic interference prevention function which is enabled
through the optical communication of cascade connected amplifiers, an
alternate frequency interference prevention function is also incorporated. So
even for layouts where optical communication cannot be carried out,
switching of emission frequencies allows interference prevention.
Alternate frequency interference prevention

An optical communication function allows

The optical communication function allows the data that is currently set to

setup much smoother.

Wire-saving, space-saving
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.
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.

Notes: 1) Note that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max.
depending upon how the fiber is cut.
2) The sensing range is specified for white non-glossy paper.
3) The fiber cable length practically limits the sensing range.
4) The sensing range is the possible setting range for the attached reflector. The fiber can
detect an object less than setting range for the reflector.
5) The sensing range is specified for transparent glass 100 × 100 × t0.7 mm 3.937 × 3.937
× t0.028 in (FD-L32H: R edge, FD-L21 and FD-L21W: t2 mm t0.079 in) (FD-L20H:
white non-glossy paper, FD-L10: silicon wafers 100 × 100 mm 3.937 × 3.937 in).

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• 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.
Wiring
• Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or
removing the amplifiers.
• Note that if a voltage exceeding the reted range is
applied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected,
the product may get burnt or damaged.
• Note 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.
• 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.
• Make sure to use the quick-connection cable (optional)
for the connection of the controller.
Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with
0.3 mm2 or more, cable.
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as
short as possible.
• Make sure that stress by forcible bending or pulling is not
applied to the sensor cable joint and fiber cable.
Others
• This product has been developed / produced for industrial
use only.
• The specification may not be satisfied in a strong
magnetic field.
• 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.
• This product is suitable for indoor use only.
• Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
• Make sure 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 inflammable or explosive gases.
• Never disassemble or modify this product.
• This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done
100 thousand times or more because of the EEPROM's
lifetime.
