This can cause malfunction due to induction.● The specification may not be satisfied in a strong magnetic field.● Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frameground (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.) terminalof the equipment to an actual ground.● The ultra long distance (U-LG, HYPR) mode is more likely to be affected byextraneous noise since the sensitivity of that is higher than the other modes.Make sure to check the environment before use.● Do not use during the initial transient time (H-SP, FAST, STD: 0.5 sec., LONG,U-LG, HYPR: 1 sec.) after the power supply is switched ON.● Be sure to using the quick connection cable (optional) as cable. When you ex-tend the cable, be sure to use cables which have 0.3mm 2 or more of conductorcross-section area. Extension up to total 100m is possible. However, in orderto reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.● Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensorcable joint and fiber cable.● This product is suitable for indoor use only.● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.● Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, organicsolvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or ex-plosive gasses.● Never disassemble or modify the product.● This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done 100 thousand timesor more because of the EEPROM’s lifetime.13 OPTICAL COMMUNICATION● When the setting of data bank loading / saving, copy setting, or copy actionsetting is conducted via optical communications, cascade the sub amplifiersright side to the main amplifier as follows.However, in case using data bank loading / saving, use FX-502□ or FX-505□-C2as main amplifier.● If an amplifier is under any of the following conditions, the setting of data bankloading / saving, or copy setting cannot be carried out.• Copy lock setting is set to copy lock ON “ .”• Digital display is blinking• External input setting of main amplifier is set to “ .” (Only data-bank loading / saving)● When communication protocol of asub amplifier is set to communicationemission halt “ ” the set-ting of data bank loading / saving, orcopy setting cannot be carried out tosub amplifiers subsequent to the men-tioned amplifier.● Make sure to mount closely like fol-lows since interference preventionfunction is conducted by optical com-munication.● When this product and other products (e.g. fiber sensor amplifiers, pressuresensor controllers, etc.) are connected together in cascade, install those prod-ucts so that they are in order of Group A, B, D and C as shown in the right fig-ure.
