Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not wire the amplifier line along with power lines or high-tension lines, as the
sensor may malfunction or be damaged due to noise.
When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the frame ground
terminal and ground terminal.
Do not use the FS series outdoors, or in a place where extraneous light can enter
the light receiving element directly.
Due to individual dispersion characteristics and the difference in fiber unit models,
the maximum sensing distance or displayed value may not be the same on all
units.
If the sensor is used for a long time with the APC function enabled and the LED is
imposed with a heavy load, the current consumption of the sensor for light
emission will become constant and 'END APC' will be displayed. The sensor can
still be used in this case. However, replace the sensor if even small changes in
received light intensity should be detected for precise detection.

Switching Output
When the current received light intensity is displayed, press the [MODE] button.
The current output condition (L-on or D-
on) is displayed.*1
Basic Operation
Press the
button to switch the output condition, and then press the
[MODE] button.
Select "D-on" if you want to output the ON
signal when the beam is blocked (a workpiece is present.) for a thrubeam or retro-reflective model.
Select "L-on" if you want to output the ON signal when the beam is received (a
workpiece is present.) for the reflective model.
The output condition is switched, and the current received light intensity is displayed.*2
*1 If you do nothing for 3 seconds or more or press the [MODE] button, the received
light intensity display is automatically restored.
*2 When using the sub-display, the screen will switch between the current received

Adjusting Sensitivity
This manual refers to the values that select ON/OFF output of the sensor amplifiers as
"Set values." In addition, the manual refers to the adjustment of set values as "Adjusting
Sensitivity." This section describes the sensitivity adjusting method.
Calibration
Sensitivity can be adjusted by a simple operation. This function does not correct the
received light intensity.
This function is applied for using the received light intensity without correction or for
high-precision detection.
Calibration is also available in a preset state.

Basic Operation
Preset
Simple operation allows sensitivity adjustment concurrently with correction of the
received light intensity to "100.0" or "0.0"
This function helps preventive maintenance by eliminating dispersion of the received
light intensity due to the contents of detection or individual workpieces.
However, this is not suitable for detection of transparent workpiece because there is a
small difference in the received light intensity between presence and absence of a
workpiece.

Basic Operation

When a fiber unit having strong power (longer detection range) is used at a close
range, the received light intensity may remain unchanged from the maximum value in
the display-enabled range (saturated) regardless of whether a workpiece is present or
not. (Example: Numerical value does not change from 9999)
In such a case, the light emission and the received light intensity can be automatically
corrected to optimal state by using the saturation Canceling function.
Basic Operation
Press the [SET] button while holding down the [MODE] button.
The received light intensity corresponding to the power mode is set within the

Description
To detect a falling workpiece.
The falling edge of the received light intensity is
detected, and output as one-shot.
The received light intensity hold value can be confirmed by pressing the [MODE] button twice on the
output 1 screen.
To use the external input and periodically compensate for the reduction in received light intensity due
to contamination on sensor head face.
A decrease in the light-ON mode's received light
intensity can be detected and output to an external
source by using the 2-output type's output 2.
To use the external input and "0" the light intensity
received without a workpiece present.
The background received light intensity is set as 0
even when calibrating with the buttons on the display.
(Zero Shift calibration)
To 0 the lower of level received light intensity values
in order to display higher values of received light
intensity.
The display can be extended up to 5 digits by pressing the [MODE] button twice on the output 1 screen.
This is recommended when outputting within a specific received light intensity range. When the [SET]
button is pressed once at the reference received light
intensity, the upper/lower setting value limits will be
set at 10% from the reference received light intensity.
This is recommended when detecting a transparent
workpiece. The received light intensity at the state
with no workpiece is set as ".0", and the displayed
value is increased as the amount of light blocked by
the workpiece increases.
When the [SET] button is pressed or when calibrated
with external inputs, the received light intensity -5%
at that point is set as the setting value.

Malfunction may result from "interference", a phenomenon in which light transmission
occurs simultaneously with any other sensor amplifier.
However, when the number of sensor amplifiers increases, the light transmission
timing automatically shifts and prevents this interference.

Action
Press and hold the [MODE] button and check

Solution
Check the load and return the current within the
rated range.
Check that the output wire is not contacting any
other wire or frame.
Turn the power OFF and ON. If the data is not
recovered, initialize the settings.*
"Initialization of Settings (Reset to Initial
Values)" (page 3-21)
Because the unit is in a state where the APC
function cannot be used further, replace the
sensor if high-level detection is needed.
Disable the key lock.
If the key lock cannot be disabled, it may be
locked with a password, or locked by the NU
Series communication unit.

In the edge detection mode, the bar display, even if SEtP/OSEt is selected for the

Positioning calibration is not possible in the DATUM1 or DATUM2 modes. This
will operate as two-point calibration.
If the [PRESET] button is pressed in the DATUM1/DATUM2 mode, the received
light intensity will be forcibly calibrated to 100.0/.0. "---- ----" appears and no
change is seen when the [PRESET] button is pressed in the edge detection

The zero shift operation does not function when the DATUM1/DATUM2 or edge
