PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to General precautions, and to the “Operation Guide” on our
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
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.

or more, cable. However, in order to reduce noise,
make the wiring as short as possible.

interference can be prevented by setting
different emission frequency. However, when
emission frequency 0 is set, interference
cannot be prevented. Response time
corresponds to emission frequency.
