The FX-301-F7 (Note 1) dedicated for the leak detection ber FD-F71
and the FX-301-F dedicated for the liquid detection ber FT-F93 are
available. Optimal setting is possible with easy operation.
Note: The FX-301-F can be also used by setting it to leak detection mode. However, the
functions are different from the FX-301-F7 dedicated for the leak detection ber,
so it is recommended to use the FX-301-F7 when using the leak detection ber.

Flashing function incorporated
When the leak detection ber is connected (F7 mode), if
a leak is detected, you will recognize which ber detects
the leak at a single glance because the emitter will start
ashing.
Main cable
Sub cable
Easy maintenance, as main and sub units are identical
Both main and sub units utilize the same amplier body. This
feature allows for easy mounting in the side-by-side conguration.
The main and sub unit
functions are distinguished
only by the proper use of
3-core main cable and the
1-core sub cable.
Moreover, by utilizing the same
body for both main and sub
units, inventory management
and maintenance is simplied.
The newly developed “four-chemical emitting element”
used for FX-301-F7 / FX-301-F can suppress the
secular change of the light emitting element to minimum,
allowing stable detection for long period of time.
Long life and stable operational settings due
to the newly developed emitting element

FX-301-F7 just by setting the MODE indicator to “TEACH”
and pressing the jog switch.
Teaching is performed collectively for all the connected
ampliers with an optical communication function when
the MODE indicator is set to “ALL”. Each amplier will be
set with an optimal threshold value.

Low prole liquid detection ber with high chemical resistance
SEMI S2 compliant!
Leak detection ber cannot be used in combination
with the FX-100/300/311/410 series.
The unique effect of capillarity enables reliable detection
of small leaks and viscous liquids.
Stable detection performance
LEAK DETECTION FIBER (FD-F71)
Compact, space-saving
This slim (10 mm 0.394 in) side-mounting ber head is
especially good for use in conned spaces.
Labor-saving design
• Because all you need to install is one screw, one-touch
mounting of the ber head is possible.
• Replacement parts even for resetting after a leak are
unnecessary.
• Because the ber head is simply designed, wiping off
leaks is rendered easy.
FD-F71
Superb explosion resistance / chemical resistance
Explosion resistance is enhanced by adopting the ber
method (SEMI S2 compliant). The head unit made
of uorocarbon polymers also has superb chemical
resistance.
The threshold value is set after selecting the liquid
detection ber for FX-301-F.At the same time, other setting in the master unit will
be copied to the slave unit.

LIQUID DETECTION FIBER (PIPE-MOUNTABLE) (FT-F93)
Stable design that doesn’t permit liquid-absent or
sensor errors
• When liquid is present, its effect on the lens causes
light to focus and enter.
Because there is no electric circuitry in the ber head, it
boasts excellent explosion resistance.
Superior explosion resistance compatible to SEMI S2
Even when the shape and thickness of the pipe vary, this
ber head uses a method where the beam axis follows
the diameter of the pipe, and so when compared to
conventional methods, the shape and thickness of the
pipe have no inuence over the performance of this ber
head.
Easy to use and reliable detection
• When abnormalities such as a severed or removed
ber or a cutoff cable occur, light does not enter and the
sensor will output the same as “liquid-absent”.
Reliable detection not affected by bubbles or droplets
Latest optical ber techniques have solved problems
caused by bubbles, droplets or liquid leakage that arise
in conventional pipe-mountable ber heads.
Stably detect the liquid inside the pipe!
SEMI S2 compliant!
Leak detection ber cannot be used in combination
with the FX-100/300/311/410 series.
