FX-301-F7
The FX-301-F7 (Note 1) dedicated for the leak detection fiber FD-F71
and the FX-301-F dedicated for the liquid detection fiber FT-F93 are
available. Optimal setting is possible with easy operation.
Threshold value will
be set automatically to
-20 % of the incident
light intensity during
the teaching to steadily
detect the leak. It is also
possible to change the
threshold value to -15 %
or -30 %.

(During teaching)
Note: The FX-301-F can be also used by setting it to leak detection mode. However, the
functions are different from the FX-301-F7 dedicated for the leak detection fiber,
so it is recommended to use the FX-301-F7 when using the leak detection fiber.

Easy maintenance, as main and sub units are identical
Both main and sub units utilize the same amplifier body. This
feature allows for easy mounting in the side-by-side configuration.
The main and sub unit

functions are distinguished
only by the proper use of
3-core main cable and the
1-core sub cable.

Flashing function incorporated
When the leak detection fiber is connected (F7 mode), if
a leak is detected, you will recognize which fiber detects
the leak at a single glance because the emitter will start
flashing.
Long life and stable operational settings due
to the newly developed emitting element
The newly developed “four-chemical emitting element”
used for FX-301-F7 / FX-301-F can suppress the
secular change of the light emitting element to minimum,
allowing stable detection for long period of time.

Individual teaching mode (TEACH)
Optimal threshold value is set automatically on

and pressing the jog switch.
The threshold value is set after selecting the liquid
detection fiber for FX-301-F.

Collective teaching mode (ALL)
Teaching is performed collectively for all the connected
amplifiers with an optical communication function when
the MODE indicator is set to “ALL”. Each amplifier will be
set with an optimal threshold value.
At the same time, other setting in the master unit will
be copied to the slave unit.

Labor-saving design
• Because all you need to install is one screw, one-touch
mounting of the fiber head is possible.
• Replacement parts even for resetting after a leak are
unnecessary.
• Because the fiber head is simply designed, wiping off
leaks is rendered easy.
SEMI S2 compliant!
Superb explosion resistance / chemical resistance
Leak detection fiber cannot be used in combination
with the FX-100/300/311/410 series.
Explosion resistance is enhanced by adopting the fiber
method (SEMI S2 compliant). The head unit made
of fluorocarbon polymers also has superb chemical
resistance.
Stable detection performance
The unique effect of capillarity enables reliable detection
of small leaks and viscous liquids.

Even when the shape and thickness of the pipe vary, this
fiber head uses a method where the beam axis follows
the diameter of the pipe, and so when compared to
conventional methods, the shape and thickness of the
pipe have no influence over the performance of this fiber
head.
Reliable detection not affected by bubbles or droplets
Latest optical fiber techniques have solved problems
caused by bubbles, droplets or liquid leakage that arise
in conventional pipe-mountable fiber heads.
