Analog output type for diverse applications
Analog voltage output
Slim size
It incorporates an analog voltage output of 1 to 5 V.
Being only 10 mm 0.394 in
thick, it can be mounted in a
narrow space.
Various uses
In combination with various types of fibers and the ultracompact digital panel controller, CA2 series, FX-11A
can be used for various applications, such as, height
evaluation, level detection by differential sensing, etc.

Digital panel controller
Interference prevention function
Two sets of fibers can be mounted close together or face
to face.
The saturation indicator lights up when the output
reaches 5 V. Hence, the sensitivity can be easily
adjusted even without using a tester.
Moreover, an incident beam indicator which brightens
up in proportion to the amount of incident beam (output
voltage) is also incorporated.

SENSORS
Detecting level difference
Ascertaining the number of translucent films
Measuring inner diameter of rings
When differential sensing is used, no
sensitivity readjustment is required even if
the reflectivity of the objects changes.
The number of overlapping translucent
films can be ascertained.
Rings can be sorted according to their
inner diameter.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
FX-11A
190
Refer to p.986~ for general precautions and p.105 for precautions of fibers.
• 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.
Others
LASER
SENSORS
• Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after
the power supply is switched on.
• The analog output is not incorporated with a short-circuit
protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power
supply or a capacitive load.

Response time selection
• The response time of FX-11A can be selected either
“1 ms” or “10 ms”. If your detecting application does not
need a quick response, “10 ms” is recommended as
it makes the detection secure against inductive noise
and ambient light. If you choose “1 ms”, pay attention to
electromagnetic noise and ambient light.
• The response time of FX-11A is the time required for the
output voltage to rise from 1 V (dark state voltage) to
[90 % of {light state voltage – 1 V (dark state voltage)}
+ 1 V (dark state voltage)] or the time required for the
output voltage to fall from the light state voltage to [10 %
of {light state voltage – 1 V (dark state voltage)} + 1 V
(dark state voltage)]. The response time of FX-11A is
constant regardless of the amplitude of the output voltage.
