How to connect the ber cable
Be sure to t the attachment to the bers rst before inserting the bers into
the amplier. For details, refer to the Instruction Manual enclosed with the
bers.
1. Snap the ber lock lever down until it
stops completely.
2. Slowly insert the ber cables into the
inlets until they stop (see note).
If the ber cables are not inserted until
they stop, the sensing range reduces.
Since a exible ber is easily bent, be
careful when inserting it.
3. Return the ber lock lever to the original
position.

lowed for the environment when teaching.
2-point teaching
2-point teaching is the most common teaching method and means the
threshold value is taught using two points that correspond to the object
present and object absent conditions.
Light-ON or Dark-ON is determined automatically for the output operation
setting.

Limit teaching
Limit teaching is used to set the threshold value for the object absent
condition only, i.e. for a stable incident light condition.
Thru-beam type
Background
Reflective type
This method is used to detect objects in the presence of a background body
or to detect small objects.
In teaching mode:
●For the thru-beam type, press <OFF>. Press <OFF> again after the
reference intensity light is displayed in green and the red LED is blink-
ing.
The shift amount is xed above this value.
●For the reective type, press <ON>. Press <ON> again after the ref-
erence intensity light is displayed in green and the red LED is blinking.
The shift amount is xed below this value.
When you complete these settings, the threshold value is displayed in
green, and the shift amount is displayed briey in red, e.g. 15P = 15%.
When the margin is 200% or more, is displayed. You can specify the
shift amount in PRO MODE.
When you select “Auto” ( ) for the emission level, proper light intensity will
be set automatically.
Full auto-teaching
Full auto-teaching is used when you want to set the threshold value without
stopping the assembly line.
In teaching mode, press and hold <ON> or <OFF>. After 2s, “Auto” is dis-
played in green and the sensor starts sampling incident light intensity. The
threshold value is set when you release <ON> or <OFF>.
9PRO MODE
In RUN mode, press <MODE> for 4s to select PRO mode.
Item Factory
setting Description
Shift
For limit teaching (+, -) or the threshold value
follow-up cycle, you can shift, i.e. offset, the
threshold value by 0 to 80%.
When shift value is set to 0%, the present inci-
dent light intensity = threshold value.
External input
For external input you can select:
●Emission halt
●2-point teaching
●Limit teaching
●Full-auto teaching
●ECO (note 1)
●Incident light intensity test
* For differences between the conventional
and modied units, see UNIT VERSIONS
on page 7.
If you have selected incident light intensity test
, the output turns ON/OFF every 100ms
when the difference between the incident light
intensity and threshold value is less than half of
the shift amount.
For example, the shift amount is set to 20%. The
difference between incident light intensity (e.g.
1000) and threshold value (e.g. 1050) is less
than 10%.
Threshold value-
storage (note 2)
The threshold value set during 2-point teaching,
limit teaching, full-auto teaching by external
input is stored. If you select “Auto” for the emis-
sion level, the emission level is also stored.
Threshold value
follow-up cycle
(note 3)
The incident light intensity can be monitored for
the cycle specied, for example when variations
in incident light intensity are expected.
When the threshold value follow-up cycle is
set, the threshold value is adjusted according
to the shift based on the incident light intensity
detected.
However, the threshold value is not stored.
GETA function
(note 4, 5)
Variations can be reduced by setting the present
incident light intensity for each amplier to a
certain value. For example, if this value is set to
2,000 and the incident light intensity is 1,500,
activating the GETA function sets the incident
light intensity to 2,000.
You can set values in steps of 100 from 0 to
2,000.

1. Depending on the threshold value, output may turn ON/OFF when emission is
halted or released.
2. When emission starts, output operation is undetermined during the response time.
If the output signal is received by a PLC, for example, set the amplier’s timer
to 20ms response time or greater. Example: For the FX-101q-Z with emission
frequency 0 (response time 250µs or less), total timer period = 20ms + 0.25ms
(250µs) = 20.25ms.
3. After teaching is complete, output operation is undetermined during the response
time. If the output signal is received by a PLC, for example, set the amplier’s
timer to the amplier response time or greater. The threshold value will be set
based on the incident light intensity at the instant when teaching is veried.
4. Move the object to be sensed past the sensor once while the external input signal
is ON.
5. After teaching is complete, output operation is undetermined during the response
time. If the output signal is received by a PLC, for example, set the amplier’s

14 ERROR INDICATION
If the follow error codes are displayed, please take appropriate measures.
Display Error description Measures
EEPROM writing error Contact our ofce.
The load is short-circuited
causing overcurrent. Turn off the power, then check the load.
Communication error
Disconnection, connection
failure, etc.
Check the wiring before using the setting
copy function.
15 UNIT VERSIONS
Please note the difference between the modied unit and the conventional
unit: the modied unit has a “P” mark near the beam emitting inlet. The
conventional unit has no “P” mark.
Modified unit Conventional unit
Beam emitting inlet
“P” mark
The modied unit has some additional functionality.
●The emission level has 4 possible settings. For the conventional unit,
the emission level can only be turned ON (35%) or OFF.
●For the external input, an incident light intensity test is available.
●For teaching by external input, an additional option is available to turn
ON/OFF the output every 100ms. See PRO MODE on page 4.
●Due to more functionality, more codes are available. See CODE SET-
TING FUNCTION on page 7.
