INSTRUCTION SHEET
Regarding the alert symbols and meanings used for the safe uses
In order for our customers to use the F3SJ in safety, precautions are
indicated in this manual with the alert symbols and statements such as the
followings. Those safety precautions relate to the important descriptions
that must be obeyed for the safe uses and operations. Be sure to obey the
precautions. The following indictions and symbols are used for the
When changes are made to each function using the setting tool
(F39-GWUM or F39-MC21), the administrator must manage the details of
the changes and perform the changes. Accidental functional setting
change may cause failure of human body detection, resulting in a serious
injury.
The F3SJ must be installed, configured, and incorporated into a machine
control system by a sufficiently trained and qualified person. An
unqualified person may not be able to perform these operations
properly, which may cause a person to go undetected, resulting in
Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot be stopped by
electrical control. For example, do not use it for a pressing machine
that uses full-rotation clutch. Otherwise, the machine may not stop
before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ after installation to verify
that the F3SJ operates as intended. Make sure to stop the machine
until the test is complete. Unintended function settings may cause a
person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.
Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can
only be reached by passing through the sensor's detection zone. Install
the sensors so that part of the person is always present in the detection
zone when working in a machine's hazardous areas. If a person is able
step into the hazardous area of a machine and remain behind the F3SJ's
detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that
prevents the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety
applications. Human body may not be detected when F3SJ fails,
resulting in serious injury.
Make sure to install the F3SJ at the safe distance from the hazardous
part of the equipment. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a
person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view
of the entire hazardous area and where it cannot be activated from
within the hazardous area.
The F3SJ cannot protect a person from an object flying from a
hazardous area. Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device.
You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is
being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting
function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious injury.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting
and override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible
to workers from all the operating positions.
Use independent 2 input devices for muting inputs.
Muting related time must be properly configured for its application by a
sufficiently trained and qualified person, and the person must have
responsibility for settings, especially when setting the muting time limit to
infinite.
You must install F3SJ, muting sensor, and physical barrier, and configure
time settings for muting so that an operator should not enter hazardous zone.
Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by the reflective
surface of the F3SJ.
Make sure that the F3SJ is securely mounted and its cables and
connectors are properly connected.
Make sure that foreign material such as water, oil, or dust does not
enter the F3SJ or the connector while the cap is removed.
When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual
interference does not occur, such as by configuring series connections
or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.
Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective
configuration. Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use
mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-degree angle.
Perform an inspection for all F3SJ as described in "Chapter 6
Checklists" of User’s manual. When using series connections,perform
inspections
Connect the load between the output and 0V line (PNP output).
Connecting the load between the output and +24V line will result in a
dangerous condition because operation is reversed to ON when
Do not short-circuit the output line to the +24V line. Otherwise, the
output is always ON. Also, the 0V of the power supply must be grounded
so that output does not turn ON due to grounding of the output line.
Configure the system by using the optimal number of safety outputs
that satisfy the requirements of the necessary safety category.
Do not connect each line of F3SJ to a DC power supply of more than
24VDC+20%. Also, do not connect to an AC power supply. Failure to
do so may result in electric shock.
Double or reinforced insulation from hazardous voltage must be applied
to all input and output lines. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Do not try to disassemble, repair, or modify this product. Doing so
may cause the safety functions to stop working properly.
Do not use the F3SJ in environments where flammable or explosive
gases are present. Doing so may result in explosion.
Perform daily and 6-month inspections for the F3SJ. Otherwise, the
system may fail to work properly, resulting in serious injury.
Extension of the cable must be within a specified length. If it isn't,
safety function may not work properly, resulting in danger.
To use the F3SJ in PSDI mode (Reinitiation of cyclic operation by the
protective equipment), you must configure an appropriate circuit between
the F3SJ and the machine. For details about PSDI, refer to OSHA1910.217,
IEC61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
For the F3SJ to comply with IEC 61496-1 and UL 508, the DC power
supply unit must satisfy all of the following conditions:
• Must be within the rated power voltage (24V DC ± 20%)
• Must have tolerance against the total rated current of devices if it is
connected to multiple devices
• Must comply with EMC directives (industrial environment)
• Double or reinforced insulation must be applied between the primary
and secondary circuits
• Automatic recovery of overcurrent protection characteristics
(reversed L sagging)
• Output holding time must be 20ms or longer
• Must satisfy output characteristic requirements for class 2 circuit or
limited voltage current circuit defined by UL508
• Must comply with laws and regulations, regarding EMC and electrical

•Do not short-circuit output lines to +24V line. Otherwise a fault of F3SJ
may occur.
•When extending the communication line with a cable (twisted-pair wire)
other than the dedicated cable (F39-JD**), use a cable with the same or
superior specification. Connect the shield to the 0V line.
•When replacing the cable connectors with other types of connectors, use
connectors that provide a protection grade of IP54 or higher.
•Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the
terminals.
•Do not operate the control system until 2 seconds or more (2.2 seconds or
more in case of series connection) after turning ON the power of the F3SJ.
•Be sure to route the F3SJ cable separate from high-potential power lines or
through an exclusive conduit.
•When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply,
make sure to ground the FG terminal (frame ground terminal).
•Install the emitter and receiver so that their vertical direction should
match.
•If the protective height is 600 mm or more, use intermediate mounting
brackets of specified quantities and locations according to the dimensions.
If the brackets described above are not used, ratings and performance
cannot be not met.
