Autonics FD-320-05 Diffuse Reflective Fiber Optic Sensor Unit
Autonics FD-320-05 is a diffuse reflective fiber optic sensing unit with a 2 m FREE-CUT cable, designed for stable object detection in compact and harsh industrial environments when used with Autonics fiber amplifiers.
The Autonics FD-320-05 is a diffuse reflective type fiber optic sensing unit from the FD/GD Series, engineered for accurate object detection in tight spaces, high-vibration areas, and harsh industrial environments.
It features a 2 m FREE-CUT plastic fiber cable, allowing installers to cut the cable to the required length on-site using a compatible cable cutter. The sensor unit must be used in combination with an Autonics fiber optic amplifier such as BF3RX, BF4R, BF5R, etc.

FAQs
Q1. Does FD-320-05 work independently?
No. It must be used with a compatible Autonics fiber optic amplifier.
Q2. What does FREE CUT mean?
FREE CUT allows the fiber cable to be cut to the required length on-site using a suitable cutter.
Q3. What is the sensing type of this model?
It is a diffuse reflective fiber optic sensing unit.
Q4. Can this be used in high-temperature areas?
Standard FD-320-05 supports up to 70°C. For higher temperatures, heat-resistant models should be selected.
Q5. Which amplifiers are compatible?
Compatible with BF3RX, BF4R, BF5R, BFX, and BFN series amplifiers.
