Control Output Diagram

Judgment (HIGH, GO, LOW) and alarm output

• OCP (Over Current Protection), SCP (Short Circuit Protection)
• The control output is abnormal when the control output circuit is shorted or over current is supplied.

Installation Step 1. Installation Precautions

• Do not supply the power when adding amplifier unit.

• Supply power to each connected amplifier unit at the same time.

• Up to 8 amplifier units can be connected

• The function can be set using the master amplifier unit, and measurements are made according to the corresponding setting value.

• Only 1 calculation function can be performed per 1 group of mutually connected amplifiers.
  When the calculation function is activated, the SV of the slave units are disable and the mutual interference prevention function for sensor heads is executed automatically.

• Check the compatible firmware version when connecting the sensor head or communication converter to the amplifier unit.

Installation Step 2. Connect amplifier unit

Connecting amplifier units mutually

1. Remove the side cover at the connecting side.
2. Connect the side connector to the units.
3. After mounting amplifier unit on DIN rail, push it to arrow direction tightly.
   • In case of disconnecting, follow the upper sequence reversely.

Distinguishing master/slave amplifier units
When the power cable direction is down, the amplifier at the left end is the master unit, and the channel number of slaves increases sequentially to the right.

Installation Step 3. Installation

DIN rail installation

Installation

1. Insert the bottom holder of amplifier unit to 35 mm width DIN rail.
2. Push the front part of the unit to arrow direction to mount.

Remove

1. Side amplifier unit to ① direction.
2. Pull the assembly part to ② direction to detach.

Mounting with bolt

• Mounting is possible by using bracket. The method of mounting and detaching is as same as DIN rail.

Installation Step 4. Connection

• Supply power after installation.

Error

In error status, ‘ERROR’ is displayed on PV display.
Deal with an error by referring to the below solution of each setting value SV display.

Check the connection between sensor head and amplifier unit.
Check the disconnection of sensor head cable. Perform the above items and supply the power again.
If the problem is not resolved after the above items are performed, it is judged that the sensor head is defective and needs to be replaced.
| | Malfunction of emission
|

–

| Not existing the object or background in maximum measurement range| Adjust the distance between sensor head and object in the maximum measurement range.
|

–

| Over receive the light
|

–

| In status of display unavailable| Return to status of present value display available.
| | Amplifier unit memory malfunction
(EEPROM cannot be refreshed due to exceeding the number of recording over 1 million times)| Turn off the power; check the connection of sensor head, and supply the power again.
Executes the initialize function in parameter group 4. If the problem is not resolved after the above items are performed, it is judged that the amplifier unit is defective and needs to be replaced.
| | Sensor head memory malfunction| Turn off the power; check the connection of sensor head, and supply the power again.
If the problem is not resolved after the above item is performed, it is judged that the amplifier unit is defective and needs to be replaced.
| | Poor connection between amplifier units| After turn off the power, check the connection between amplifier units, and supply the power again.
| | Firmware version incompatible| Check the firmware version and needs to update to compatible version.
| | Disconnection of the judgment output| After turn off the power, check connection of HIGH (black) / GO (gray) / LOW (orange) wire, and supply the power again.
| | Amplifier unit error| After turn off the power, check the connection of sensor head, and supply the power again.
If the problem is not resolved after the above items are performed, it is judged that the amplifier unit is defective and needs to be replaced.
| | Over current of output terminal| Check the load of output is specification range. Check the output is contacted other wire or frame.
| | Poor connection between amplifier units or communication module| After turn off the power, check the connection between amplifier units or communication module, and supply the power again.
