„ DIN rail mount type, expansion unit (IG-1050)

Up to 3 expansion units can be connected to one main unit.

1

Remove the expansion protective cover from the IG-1000 (main unit).

2

Install the amplifiers (main and expansion units) onto the DIN rail.

3

Push the expansion unit into the main unit connector until a clicking sound can be heard.

4

Install the end units (OP-26751: 2 units per set) (sold separately) on both sides of the
amplifiers (main or expansion units). Secure the end units in place with screws on top
(2 on each end unit).
The end units are mounted in the same way as the amplifiers.

„ Panel mount type, main unit (IG-1500)

1

Make a hole on the panel to attach according to the measurement below.

2

Insert the back side of amplifier to the hole of the panel.

3

Arrange the panel mounting tool in the direction below, mount to the amplifier from the
back and attach the front protection cover to the amplifier.

To remove the panel mounting tool, widen the

claws at both ends of the panel mounting tool using

a slotted screwdriver, as demonstrated in the

pictorial on the right.

„ Panel mount type, expansion unit (IG-1550)

Up to 3 expansion units can be connected to one main unit.

1

Make the appropriate number of hole in the panel according to the number of
amplifiers required (main and connected expansion units).
For the panel cutting measurement, refer to the “Panel mount type, main unit”.

2

Install the amplifiers (expansion units) on the panel.
For the amplifier mounting method, refer to the “Panel mount type, main unit”.

3

Connect the amplifiers (main and expansion units) using the expansion cable (50 mm)
supplied with the expansion unit.

Mounting the Sensor Head

If the mounting distance between the transmitter and receiver is as follows, the optical axis

alignment is not required when mounting within the “parallel acceptable range” and “tilt

acceptable range”.

• IG-010 : 3 to 500 mm

• IG-028 : 50 to 500mm

However if the distance is out of the above range(s), adjust the optical axis after mounting.

CAUTION

• When connecting multiple amplifiers (expansion units), first check to make sure

that the power is turned off to all of the main and expansion units. Connecting

the units with the power turned on could damage them.

• Push the amplifiers (expansion units) as far as possible into the main unit. If they

are connected at an angle or not inserted securely, the units could get damaged.

Note

• When connecting the expansion units, make sure to initialize the

expansion units and set the output polarity.

(1) When turning on the amplifier for the first time after connecting the sensor head

please reference

“Operation When the Power is Turned on for the First Time” (page 6)

(2) When initializing the unit please reference

“Initial Reset (Initialize)” (page 7)

• Expansion units with different setting of output polarity (such as an NPN output

expansion unit to a PNP output main unit) cannot be connected together.

• Expansion units using DIN rail mount cannot be connected to a panel

mount style main unit.

Note

Mount the amplifiers securely using the end units (OP-26751: 2 units

per set) (sold separately) or a commercially available DIN rail mounting

tool to prevent the amplifiers from slipping and coming off from the DIN

rail due to machine vibration.

CAUTION

• When connecting the expansion cable, make sure to turn off the power

beforehand. Inserting or removing the cable with the power turned on may

cause damage to the units.

• Push the expansion cable connector securely all the way. If it is connected

at an angle or not inserted securely, the units could get damaged.

Note

• When connecting the expansion units, make sure to initialize the

connected expansion units and set the output polarity.

(1) When turning on the amplifier for the first time after connecting the sensor head

please reference

“Operation When the Power is Turned on for the First Time” (page 6)

(2) When initializing the unit please reference

“Initial Reset (Initialize)” (page 7)

• Expansion units with different setting of output polarity (such as an NPN output

expansion unit to a PNP output main unit) cannot be connected together.

• Expansion units using panel mount cannot be connected to a DIN rail

mounted main unit.

Reference

When arranging the

amplifiers as depicted in

the pictorial on the left, the

300 mm expansion cable

(OP-35361) is required.

Note

The minimum detectable object, linearity and temperature characteristics

found in the specifications are valid only if the sensor head is mounted within

the “parallel acceptable range” and “tilt acceptable range”.
