Safety Precautions Mounting the Fiber Amplifier Units Mounting Fiber Units 1. Let the hook on the Amplifier Unit's Fiber Unit connection side catch the track and push the unit until it clicks. Mounting on DIN Track Cut a thin fiber as follows. For standard fibers, insert to the desired cutting position and cut. Use Fiber Cutter Fiber Unit Connection Side Hook Removing from DIN Track 1 2 1. Push the unit in the direction 1. 2. Lift it up in the direction 2. Refer to “I/O Circuit Diagrams” or check the side of the unit for wire color and role indications. Mounting Amplifier Units in Group (Wire-saving Connector Type Models) 1.
Mount the Fiber Amplifier units one at a time onto the DIN track and push them until they click. 2. Slide the Fiber Amplifier units in the direction 2. 3. Use End Plates (PFP-M: separately sold) at the both ends of the grouped Fiber Amplifier units to prevent them from separating due to vibration or other cause. 4. Tighten the screw on the End Plates using a driver. DIN Track 2 3 4 1. Open the protective cover. 2. Raise the lock lever. 3. Insert the Fiber Unit in the fiber unit hole to the bottom. Mount Fiber Unit 2 4 Lock Lever Lock Release Protective Cover • Under environments such as vibration, use an end plates even with a single Fiber Amplifier Unit.
• The maximum numbers of connectable Amplifier Units are given in the following table. Tighten the screw while pressing the End Plate. 1 4. Return the lock lever to the original position and fix the Fiber Unit. Fiber Unit 3 • When mounting a coaxial reflective Fiber Unit, insert the single-core Fiber Unit to the upper hole (Emitter side) and the multi-core Fiber Unit to the lower hole (Receiver side). The cables for the Single-core Fiber Units (Emitters) have identification marks. Refer to the dimensions diagrams for details. Single Core Multi Core • If Units are to be connected, the ambient temperature will change with the number of Units that are connected.
Check the Ratings and Characteristics specifications. • Always turn OFF the power before connecting or disconnecting Units. *1. The mutual interference prevention function cannot be used if the detection mode is set to super-high-speed mode (SHS). • When removing the Fiber Unit, follow the above steps in reverse order. To maintain the characteristics of the Fiber Unit, make sure the lock is released before removing the Fiber Unit. *2. Mutual interference between up to 4 channels can be prevented by setting each Amplifier Unit individually.
