Commercially-available connectors are used so that lead time and spare part numbers
can both be reduced
The connectors used are commercially-available connectors,
so that processing costs and lead time required for carrying
out processing after purchase of the sensors can be greatly
reduced. The same connection parts as the DP-100 series
of digital pressure sensors and the PM-64 series of micro
photoelectric sensors can be used.

Very slim at only 9 mm 0.354 in. This is much thinner
than existing ber sensors. Even if the difference is small
when only using one unit, when using many units this
makes a very large difference.
Utilizes the standard Panasonic Electric Works SUNX
digital ber sensor element “Four-chemical emitting
element” for light emission. The light emission is
guaranteed to be stable over long periods of time.
Simple operation due to clear operation system
We are using the operation system of digital pressure sensor DP-100, which has been highly praised since it went
on sale. We have separated the settings levels into three levels: RUN mode, SET mode, and PRO mode, making
operation simpler and easier.
Quick code input function RUN mode
Simply imputing the default setting “Code (number)”
will enable sensor settings. Even if the settings are
accidentally changed, imputing the code will restore the
default settings.
Conrmation can be carried out smoothly via telephone
by simply quoting numbers. This can be of great
assistance when dealing with foreign country customers.

SET mode
Simply press the ON button when an object is present
and OFF when it is not. There is no need to switch
settings or make judgments between Light-ON ( )
and Dark-ON ( ).

Limit teaching function
This carries out teaching and sets threshold values only
when no object is present (when the incident light amount
is stable). This is useful when sensing objects if there
are other objects in the background and when sensing
minute objects. Teaching can also be carried out using
external input.

GETA function PRO mode
Variations in the amount of light received
Unify at 500 using
the GETA function
This function seeks changes in the light emitting amount
resulting from changes in the environment over long
periods (such as dust levels), so that the incident light
intensity can be checked at desired intervals and the
threshold values can be reset automatically. Reduces
the number of man-hours needed for maintenance.

Teaching is possible even without work.
Even when performing the same sensing operation,
there may be variances in the digital values of the ber
amp. There is no problem with the sensor itself, but the
operator may nd it troubling.
Given value can be corrected with the GETA function, so
the apparent variation can be eliminated and the creation
of operation manuals can proceed smoothly.

If the light receiving level becomes saturated when
sensing over short distances or when sensing
transparent objects or minute objects, the light emitting
amount can be reduced so that stable sensing can be
provided without needing to change the response time.
On previous models, there was only one light reduction
level, but now there are 3 levels plus an automatic mode.
As before, even when the ber and distance settings
needed to be altered for proper sensing, this function can
allow simple settings alterations.

The emitted light and output indicator flash
at the same frequency.
The emission frequencies can be set separately for
each unit in order to avoid interference. The emitted light
ashes while setting is in progress, so that you can see
at a glance which ber sensor is currently being set.
There is no need to place the ampliers close together
like there was before, and so the ampliers can be set
up apart from each other.
FX-101□: Interference prevention for up to 3 units
FX-102□: Interference prevention for up to 4 units
* When the emission frequencies are changed, the response times will
also change.

By attaching a ber sensor to each device that is to
be the ber sensor master, the master sensor settings
can be copied along with data transmissions. By
synchronizing the settings on all the devices, trouble from
setting errors can be prevented, meaning fewer changes
to the instruction manuals even when equipment design
is changed.

Notes: 1) Note that the sensing range of the free-cut type ber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the ber is cut.
The sensing range of FR-WKZ11 is specied for the RF-13. The sensing range of FR-KZ21, FR-KZ21E is specied for the attached reector RF-003.
The sensing range of FR-KV1 is specied for the attached reector.
Refer to p.166 for sensing range when FR-WKZ11 is used in combination with a reector (optional).
2) The sensing range of retroreective type is the possible setting range for the attached reector. The ber can detect an object less than setting range for
the reector. However, note that if there are any white or highly-reective surfaces near the ber head, reected incident light may affect the ber head.
If this occurs, adjust the threshold value of the amplier unit before use.

Notes: 1) Be careful when installing the thru-beam type ber equipped with the expansion lens, as the beam envelope becomes narrow and alignment is difcult.
Especially when installing a ber with many cores (sharp bending bers and heat-resistant glass ber), please be sure to use it only after you have
adjusted it sufciently.
2) The ber cable length practically limits the sensing range to 3,500 mm 137.795 in long (FT-H20W-M1, FT-P81X and FT-H20-M1: 1,600 mm 62.992 in).
3) The ber cable length for the FT-H30-M1V-S is 1 m 3.281 ft. The sensing ranges in FX-102□ (long sensing range type) take into account the length of
the FT-J8 atmospheric side ber.
4) For details on the ambient temperatures for the bers which being combined, refer to p.76~.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE Refer to General precautions, and to the “Operation Guide” on our
website for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplier.
• 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.
• The FX-100 series does not use the horizontal
connectors that are used with the FX-300 / FX-410
series. Please note that horizontal connection cannot be
performed using a connector attached cable. In addition,
the optical communication function is not equipped on
the FX-100 series, so it is unable to perform interference
prevention for use with the FX-300 / FX-410 series.
If using the FX-100 series together with the FX-300 /
FX-410 series side-by-side, please set the same models
together in groups.
• Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or
removing the ampliers.
• 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.
