•
Notes:1) When LS-400 series is connected
with the digital fiber amplifier in
cascade, be sure to locate LS-400
series at the left-most position (when
viewed from the connector side).
Every time the jog switch and the MODE key are pressed simul-
taneously, the indicated No.will change from ‘5’n‘0’n‘0’n‘3’n‘5’in turn.
Notes: 2)
When the optical communications spec. is set to ‘3 (the optical communications
spec. of the group A)’, be sure to mount the units close together. Furthermore,
take care of the following.
The optical communications function may not be usable due to the environment. etc.
Do not carry out the collective channel load or save.

Settings for NAVI Mode
4-1. NAVI Mode Functions and Settings
4
In [NAVI mode], frequently changed settings can be easily configured.
Settings for four functions can be configured.
RUN : Normal Sensing Operation
TEACH : Teaching Mode
This indicates normal sensing operation. Incident light intensity is displayed in real
time. The factory setting is that the ‘threshold value’cannot be changed directly.
When the ‘Adjust Lock Function’in ‘PRO5 Mode’is disabled, manual fine adjustment
of the ‘threshold value’can be performed during normal sensing operation.
The threshold value can be confirmed by turning the jog switch (Refer to p.59). In
addition, key lock function can also be set (Refer to p.59).
This mode sets the ‘threshold value’by utilizing teaching.
When using FX-301(P)(-HS) or FX-305(P) normal mode
The ‘threshold value’can be set with any of the 3 teaching methods, ‘2-level
teaching’, ‘limit teaching’and ‘full-auto teaching’.
2-level teaching is a method of setting the threshold value by teaching the
amplifier unit two different status conditions - sensing object present and sensing
object absent.
The ‘threshold value’is usually set using this method.
Sensing operation * Sensing operation when ‘threshold value’
can be fine adjusted
Refer to the section entitled ‘9-3. Adjust Lock

2-level Teaching
Thru-beam type Reflective type
Sensing object present Sensing object absent Sensing object present Sensing object absent
Teaches only the status condition in which no sensing object is within sensing
range (status in which incident light intensity is stable). This method is used to set
a ‘threshold value’for conducting sensing in the presence of a background, or
when extremely small objects are to be detected.
P.11
Limit Teaching
P.12
Full-auto Teaching
This method is used to set the threshold value while the sensing objects are still
moving on the production line, without stopping the production line.

Refer to p.13 ~ for setting procedure

1-level Teaching
When using FX-305(P) window comparator mode
The ‘threshold value’can be set with any of the 3 teaching methods, ‘1-level
teaching’, ‘2-level teaching’and ‘3-level teaching’. By setting two ‘threshold
values’, both ON and OFF can occur between the two threshold value levels.
This sets the shift value to any desired value, and sets the threshold values (1_SL,
2_SL) by means of 1-level teaching.

This carries out 2-level teaching (P-1, P-2) and sets the threshold values (1_SL,
2_SL).

P.17~
3-level Teaching
This carries out 3-level teaching (P-1, P-2, P-3) and sets the threshold value
(1_SL) between A and B and the threshold value (2_SL) between B and C as
shown in the diagram below.
After teaching, P-1, P-2 and P-3 are automatically assigned in ascending order to
‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’.

this is ideal for sensing edges of object such as glass.
Set to ‘full-auto teaching’if teaching is to be carried out.(Refer to p.12 for details.)
Furthermore, if the response time has been set in STDF, LONG or U-LG mode,
mount to make the threshold values to more than the following values.
STDF mode : 40 digits
LONG mode: 60 digits
U-LG mode : 100 digits

ADJ : Threshold Value Fine Adjustment Mode
This mode allows fine adjustment of the ‘threshold value’setting.
When the incident light intensity display has been selected, the threshold value
can be adjusted in increments as low as a one digit.
When the percentage display has been selected, the threshold value can be
adjusted in increments of one digit (varies depending on the ‘threshold value’).
However, when FX-305(P) is in window comparator mode, the percentage display
function cannot be utilized.
* The factory setting is; FX-301(P): 40, FX-301(P)-HS: 80,
