Observe the precautions described below to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on
product performance.
Storage conditions and installation environment
• Do not install, use, or store the product in the following types of environments:
- Areas with a temperature or humidity out of the specified range
- Areas submerged in water or subject to rain water
• This is a class A product (for industrial environments). In residential areas it may cause radio
interference, in which case the Responsible Person may be required to take adequate measures to
reduce interference.
• Use the sensor after water droplets have been removed when water droplets such as condensation
have adhered to the optical surface of the sensor.
Wiring and installation
• Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals.
• Do not operate the control system until 3 s or more after turning ON the power of the F3SG-SR/PG.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply, make sure to ground the PE
terminal (protective earth terminal).
• Install the emitter and receiver, emitter/receiver, and passive mirror to the same vertical direction.
• Use brackets of specified quantities and locations according to the dimensions. If the brackets
described above are not used, ratings and performance cannot be met.
• Do not install the F3SG-SR/PG close to a device that generates high-frequency noise. Otherwise,
take sufficient blocking measures.
• Sharing the power supply with other devices may cause the F3SG-SR/PG to be affected by noise or
voltage drop. It is recommended that the F3SG-SR/PG use a power supply dedicated for safety
components, not shared with other devices.
• Do not change the scan code during normal operation. The F3SG-SR/PG transitions to lockout.
• Do not apply load to the connectors.
• When attached with the spatter protection cover, the operating range of the F3SG-SR and F3SG-
PGA-L/-A safety light curtain is 10% shorter than the rating and that of the F3SG-PGA-C is 20%
shorter than the rating. In addition, the operating range of the IP69K model is about 20% lower than
that of the standard model. Install the product in consideration with the decrease of the operating
range.
Cleaning
• Do not use thinner, benzene, or acetone for cleaning. They affect the product's resin parts and paint
on the housing.
• Use a soft cloth which is dry or wetted with clean water for cleaning. Do not use solvents.
Object detection
• The F3SG-SR cannot detect transparent and/or translucent objects.
Settings
• Do not operate the DIP Switch on the F39-SGIT-IL3 during normal operation of the F3SG-SR/PG.
Otherwise, the F3SG-SR/PG enters the LOCKOUT state.
• Do not operate the DIP Switch and Push Switch on the F39-SGIT-IL3 with tools that may damage the
product.
• Be sure that the F3SG-SR/PG is in the SETTING state when making a change to the setting.
For more information on the SETTING state, refer to
