F3SJ Ver.2
The updated F3SJ is even easier to use.
• The lineup also includes models with S-mark certification.
• New models for body protection or presence detection.
Features
Choose from two new tools for setting parameters and checking the system status.
The "SD Manager" PC Setting Support Software helps reduce the time required for installing and troubleshooting the Safety Light Curtain.
Note: The range of parameter setting and system status checking capabilities is different for the PC Setting Support Software and the Setting
Console.
Be sure to read the “Safety Precautions” on page 67
and the “Precautions for All Safety Sensors” .
All parameters can be set and the system status can be checked
with a personal computer. In addition to making it easy to monitor
the beam alignment, the ambient incident light intensity can be
displayed in bar graph form for an easy check of the system status.

F3SJ Ver.2
New functions respond to a variety of safety needs.
Two new functions have been added to the muting function.
Partial muting
Partial muting raises safety by muting only the beams of the Safety
Light Curtain in the area where the workpiece passes through, while
preventing muting in all other areas.
Position detection muting
This is used in applications where the workpiece is set in position
each time by an operator, and then a turntable or positioning robot
moves the workpiece to the area where the work is done. A limit
switch or other means is used to detect when the robot is in a safe
position, and muting is then applied.
The blanking function disables specific beams of the Safety Light Curtain.
Fixed blanking Floating blanking
A warning zone can be set to alert people before they enter a danger zone.
Dividing the zone between series-connected
sensors
A single sensor can also be divided
The Safety Light Curtain
beams in all areas other
than where the workpiece
passes through are
constantly ON.
Only the beams of the Safety Light
Curtain that would be interrupted by
the workpiece are muted.
The beam that would otherwise be constantly
interrupted by the workbench is disabled.
In this case, 2-beam floating blanking
is set. If three or more beams are
interrupted, the output goes OFF.

Selecting a device is as easy as 1-2-3.
The F3SJ Safety Light Curtain is a Type 4 safety sensor that can be used to configure a Category 4 safety circuit.
This means that there is no need to worry about the safety of the resulting circuit. Use the following three easy steps to select the best model for
your system design.
Select the required sensor length.
The F3SJ incorporates the "perfect fit" concept that is a feature of
OMRON's other Safety Light Curtains. With a line-up of products in
1-beam increments, you can find the sensor that fits your setup
perfectly. Refer to the list of sensor models on pages 8, 8 and 10 to
select the minimum sensor length required to cover the area you want
to protect.
Note: We can also manufacture sensors with lengths not included in
the list of models. For details, please consult your OMRON
sales representative.
Select the output transistor.
Choose the PNP type when installing in safety system configurations
that comply with the Machinery Directive or when using with a
dedicated controller (F3SP-B1P or F3SX). NPN types are also
available as standard products when replacing existing area sensors.
Select the application.
In addition to finger protection, hand protection, and hand/arm
protection models, new models have been added that detects a leg or
the presence of a person.
For areas where there is only a short distance to the source of danger,
select a finger protection model. For areas where there is some
distance to the hazardous point and where the machinery stops with
sufficient time to spare, choose an economical hand/arm/body
protection model.

F3SJ Ver.2
Easier to install, easier to use.
The thin sensor saves valuable space.
The sensor is 6 mm thinner than our previous models.
When you include the newly designed mounting brackets, which also
enable beams to be aligned after the sensor is mounted, the total
thickness is 26 mm - a reduction of 19 mm compared to previous
models. The low profile means the sensor will not get in the way when
adding safety applications to existing equipment.
Flexible cable with a 5 mm bending radius makes
wiring a snap.
The F3SJ cables (0.3 m) have M12 connectors and can be routed in
any direction. Problems with connector compatibility have been
eliminated.
The included standard mounting brackets are
easier than ever to use.
The included mounting brackets, which are suitable for general use,
have been redesigned with ease of use in mind.
The new design allows easy screwdriver access, even when
mounting in tight spaces. Also, after aligning the beams, screws can
be tightened while oriented perpendicular to the lens surface, just like
the panel mounting screws.
On previous models, the carefully adjusted beam angles would
sometimes come out of alignment when tightening the final screws.
This problem has been solved with the F3SJ, because the
screw-tightening direction is different from the angle adjustment
direction. The result is reduced installation time.
Side-mounting in tight spaces is simple.
When using standard mounting brackets to mount a sensor on its
side, the bracket protrudes outward in front of the lens surface. When
this protrusion is of concern, use the F39-LJ2 side-mounting brackets
(sold separately).
Easy to change from previous models.
When replacing your previous standard multiple-beam area sensor,
use the F39-LJ4 top / bottom mounting bracket B (sold separately),
which features enlarged mounting holes.

Many Innovations for Easy Installation and Application.
Resistant to mutual interference. No wiring
between sensors and no interference for up to
three sets.
OMRON has developed a unique interference light prevention
algorithm that automatically prevents malfunction, even when light
is received from three sets.
This feature is ideal for applications where it is not possible to
perform wiring with an interference sensor, such as between an
AGV and installed equipment.
Also, the Setting Tool can be used to adjust the emitted light
intensity to minimize the effect of light on other devices.

Maximum protective height of 2,500 mm.
Series connection is more convenient than ever.
Sensors with protective heights of up to nearly 2.5 meters are available for applications that involve
large-sized workpieces. And if you happen to make changes in the future, you can always extend the
protective height with series connections. Up to four sets, or 400 beams, can be series-connected, and
with series connection cables up to 15 meters in length, applications can cover a wide area.

New functions for extra reliability.
Combine safety and productivity with a controller-less muting function.
The muting function temporarily disables the light curtain when an object must pass
through the detection zone, such as when supplying a workpiece to your equipment.
In the past, this function required a dedicated muting controller, but now it is built into
the F3SJ.
To use the muting function, purchase the F39-CN6 Key Cap for Muting (sold
separately). The muting function is enabled simply by replacing the Unit's cap with this
Key Cap. In addition, a muting sensor that determines the muting timing, as well as a
muting lamp that communicates the muting status to other operators, should be
connected to the F3SJ.
A measure to prevent you from forgetting to connect a series
connection cable.
The connectors for series connection feature an intelligent design. To connect a series
connection cable to the F3SJ, remove the Key Cap that is required when the sensor is
used by itself.
If you should happen to forget to connect the series connection cable, the sensor will not
operate by itself without the Key Cap.
This solves the problem of sensors operating independently when a series connection
cable is accidentally left unconnected, such as when equipment is moved.
Complies with the latest international safety standards and
regulations.
Like previous Type 4 Safety Light Curtains, the F3SJ conforms to the latest required
safety standards and regulations. Since the F3SJ also complies with IEC61508, the
international standard for functional safety, safety is ensured regardless of where it is
used.

Note: 1. Vibration
When using Curtains with a protective height of 605 mm or more, the vibration performance of the applicable sensor is reduced.
Do not use these Curtains in locations that are subject to vibration.
2. Protective height
When using these cases, the protective height of the applicable sensor is reduced.
Check the rating and performance prior to use.
3. Mounting direction
When using Curtains with a protective height of 605 mm or more,
some slackness occurs due to the weight of the Curtain.
For this reason, mount these Curtains only in the vertical direction.

Safety-related Functions
Interlock Function
The F3SJ turns the safety outputs OFF when the power is turned ON
or when a beam is interrupted, and maintains this state until a reset
signal is applied. This state is called "interlock".
You can reset this interlock by 2 methods; “auto reset that
automatically turns safety output ON when an interrupting object is
removed” and “manual reset mode that keeps safety output OFF until
a reset signal is provided if the interrupting object is removed”.
Auto Reset Mode
When an interrupting object is removed, safety output automatically
turns ON. Auto reset is used on machines where a worker is not able
to enter the area between the detection zone and the hazardous part
of the machine.
Note: Auto reset is always used in the F3SJ-A@-TS series.
Auto reset wiring procedure:
Manual Reset Mode
When a reset input is given while no interrupting object exists in a
detection zone, the safety outputs turn ON. This allows the machine
to be manually reset using a reset switch after ensuring safety,
preventing unexpected startup.
A sensor enters interlock state when:
•The power is turned ON (start interlock). This is useful if you want
to keep the machine stopped until start inspection is completed
after the power is turned ON.
•F3SJ is interrupted (restart interlock). After F3SJ is interrupted and
the machine stops, the machine can be restarted after safety is
ensured.
Manual Reset Wiring Procedure:
To reset:
Note: Install the reset switch outside the hazardous area, where the
operator can clearly see the hazardous area.
Interlock Function in a Muting System
Because the interlock selection input line is used as muting input 1
when using the muting function, the default setting is auto reset. Use
a setting tool for manual reset.
For PNP output For NPN output
1. Open the interlock selection
input line, or short-circuit it to
0 to 1.5 V (pin 1/white).
2. Short-circuit the reset input
line to 9 to 24 V (pin 4/yellow).
3. Turn ON the power of F3SJ.
1. Open the interlock selection
input line, or short-circuit it to
9 to 24 V (pin 1/white).
2.
Short-circuit the reset input
line to 0 to 1.5 V (pin 4/yellow).

F3SJ Ver.2
Diagnostic Functions
Self-test
A self-test is performed to check for errors when the power is turned
ON (within 2 seconds / within 2.2 seconds when series connected).
Also, the self-test is regularly performed (within the response time)
while operating.
Waveform of Control Outputs
When the F3SJ is receiving light, the control outputs cyclically turn
OFF as shown below to test the output circuit. When this OFF signal
is fed back, the output circuit is diagnosed as normal. If the output
signal does not include an OFF pulse signal, the receiver determines
that a failure has occurred with the output circuit or wiring, and enters
lockout state. (Refer to the following illustration.)
External Test
This function performs a test to ensure that the safety system stops
properly when the F3SJ is interrupted, by using an external signal to
forcibly stop emission.
To stop emission, apply 9 to 24 V for PNP output types or 0 to 1.5 V
for NPN output types to the test input line of the emitter. Apply the
voltage for a minimum of 4 x the safety output response time.
Lockout
If an error is found in the self-test, the sensor enters lockout state,
keeps the safety output in the OFF state, and indicates the error at the
same time.
Resetting Lockout
When a cause of lockout is removed, you can release the lockout by
using either of the following methods.
•Cycle the power back ON
•Reset input
[For PNP output]
After manual reset, apply voltage of 9 to 24 V for 100 ms or longer to
the reset input line, and set it open or apply 0 to 1.5 V.
After auto reset, apply voltage of 0 to 1.5 V for 100 ms or longer to the
reset input line, and set it open or apply 9 to 24 V.
[For NPN output]
After manual reset, apply voltage of 0 to 1.5 V for 100 ms or longer to
the reset input line, and set it open or apply 9 to 24 V.
After auto reset, apply voltage of 9 to 24 V for 100 ms or longer to the
reset input line, and set it open or apply 0 to 1.5 V.
External Device Monitoring Function
This function detects malfunctions, such as welded contacts in
external relays (or contactors) that control the hazardous area of a
machine.
This function constantly monitors that a specified voltage is applied to
the receiver's external device monitoring input line, and enters lockout
state when an error occurs. The relay's operational delay can be up
to 300 ms without being evaluated as an error.
For example, if a specified voltage is not applied to the external device
monitoring line because the normally closed (NC) contact is not
closed within 300 ms after the control outputs turn from ON to OFF, it
is evaluated as an error and enters a lockout state.
To utilize this function properly, use safety relays and contactors that
have forcibly guided or mechanically linked contact structure.
Other Functions
Auxiliary Output (Non-safety output)
The auxiliary output is used to monitor the status of the F3SJ.
This output can be connected to a device such as a relay, indication
lamp, programmable controller, etc.
There are two auxiliary outputs: Auxiliary output 1 and auxiliary output 2.
•Auxiliary output 1: Control output inversion signal
•Auxiliary output 2: Turns ON when the point of 30,000 operating
hours is reached
The auxiliary output modes can be changed with a setting tool. See
the User's Manual for details on the modes that can be set.
!WARNING
Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety
applications.
Failure of these outputs may prevent detection of people and result in
serious injury.
Note: 1. Auxiliary output 1 has a load current of 300 mA max., and
auxiliary output 2 has a load current of 50 mA.
2. The timing when auxiliary output 1 is set as a control output
inversion signal is shown in the diagram below.
Toff:Response time of control output's ON to OFF, Ton: Response
time of control output's OFF to ON
*When auxiliary output 2 is set as a control output inversion signal,
the response delay for control output becomes Toff x 3 max.

Guide to Replacing F3SN Models with F3SJ Models
F3SN replacement correspondence table (F3SN mounting holes can be used without modification)
When replacing F3SN-@@@@P(N)14 with F3SJ-A@@@@P(N)14
(1) For F3SN models with a protective height of 225 mm max.
(2) For F3SN models with a protective height of 234 mm min.
Add 11 to the F3SN's 4-digit number and apply it as the F3SJ's 4-digit number, and then replace with the standard brackets included with the product.
[Selection example] F3SN-A0315P(N)14 becomes F3SJ-A0326P(N)14 (replace with standard brackets)
Note: 1. The protective height becomes 11 mm longer.
2. Replace with outward-facing mounting of F39-LJ5 when you want to set the detection surface height to be same as the F3SN.
However, the F39-LJ5 and intermediate mounting brackets cannot be mounted simultaneously, so set the protective height to 600 mm or less.
When replacing F3SN-@@@@P (N)25 with F3SJ-A@@@@P (N)20
(1) For F3SN models with a protective height of 247 mm max.
(2) For F3SN models with a protective height of 262 mm min.
Subtract 17 from the F3SN's 4-digit number and apply it as the F3SJ's 4-digit number, and then replace with the standard brackets included with
the product.
[Selection example] F3SN-A0322P(N)25 becomes F3SJ-A0305P(N)20 (replace with standard brackets)
Note: 1. The protective height gets 17 mm shorter.
2. Replace with outward-facing mounting of F39-LJ5 when you want to set the detection surface height to be same as the F3SN.
However, the F39-LJ5 and intermediate mounting brackets cannot be mounted simultaneously, so set the protective height to 600 mm or less.
When using intermediate mounting brackets to replace a rear mounted F3SN with an F3SJ
Because the pitch of the mounting holes for the intermediate mounting brackets are different (F3SN: 15 mm, F3SJ: 42 mm), use F39-LJ3-SN
Spacers for F3SN intermediate mounting bracket replacement.

For F3SN models with a protective height
of 234 mm min.
Add 11 to the F3SN's 4-digit number and
apply it as the F3SJ's 4-digit number, and
then replace with the standard brackets
included with the product.
[Selection example] F3SN-A0315P(N)14
becomes F3SJ-A0326P(N)14 (replace with
standard brackets)
Note: 1. The protective height becomes
11 mm longer.
2. Replace with outward-facing
mounting of F39-LJ5 when you
want to set the detection surface
height to be same as the F3SN.
However, the F39-LJ5 and
intermediate mounting brackets
cannot be mounted
simultaneously, so set the
protective height to 600 mm or
less.
For F3SN models with a protective height
of 262 mm min.
Subtract 17 from the F3SN's 4-digit number
and apply it as the F3SJ's 4-digit number,
and then replace with the standard brackets
included with the product.
[Selection example] F3SN-A0322P(N)25
becomes F3SJ-A0305P(N)20 (replace with
standard brackets)
Note: 1. The protective height becomes
17 mm shorter.
2. Replace with outward-facing
mounting of F39-LJ5 when you
want to set the detection surface
height to be same as the F3SN.
However, the F39-LJ5 and
intermediate mounting brackets
cannot be mounted
simultaneously, so set the
protective height to 600 mm or

F3SJ Ver.2
System Configuration and Connection (Muting system)
Muting System
The muting function temporarily disables the safety function of the
F3SJ, keeping the control outputs ON even if beams are interrupted.
This makes it possible to install safety light curtains for AGV passage,
enabling both safety and productivity.
When muting, the muting lamp (external indicator) blinks to notify
people in the surrounding area that the safety functions are disabled.
For each operation modes, refer to page 73.
!WARNING
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the
device. Additional safety measures must be taken to ensure safety
while these functions are working.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object
that is being allowed to be 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.
Upgrading F3SJ for Muting System
1. Remove the caps of the emitter and receiver.
(A screwdriver is included with the key cap for muting.)
2. Install a muting lamp (external indicator) on either the emitter or
receiver.
3. Attach the key cap for muting to the emitter/receiver on which the
muting lamp (external indicator) was not installed.
Muting Sensor
A muting sensor is the sensor that is the trigger for temporarily
disabling the safety functions of F3SJ. You can use a through-beam
or retro-reflective photoelectric switch, a proximity sensor, or a limit
switch as the muting sensor. (OMRON's E3Z-series, E2E-series
(3-wire), E2VX-series, and D4N-series Sensors are recommended.)
For an F3SJ model with PNP output, use a sensor with a 3-wire PNP
transistor output or a NO contact output. For an F3SJ model with NPN
output, use a sensor with a 3-wire NPN transistor output or a NO
contact output.
Two-wire sensors cannot be used.
Muting Lamp (External indicator)
To notify workers that the muting function is working, external lamp(s)
must be installed. Use the F39-A01P@-PAC external indicator set or
an F39-JJ3N universal indicator cable with a commercially available
external indicator.
F3SJ Internal Indicators
•The muting input 1 indicator turns ON when input is applied to
muting input 1.
•The muting input 2 indicator turns ON when input is applied to
muting input 2.
•The muting input 1 indicator and muting input 2 indicator blink
under muting override.
•The muting error indicator on the receiver side turns ON when
there is a muting error.
Attachment Positions for Included Labels
Internal indicator labels are included with the F39-CN6 Key Cap for
Muting. When using a muting system, attach the internal indicator
labels so the arrows will be in line with the positions of the indicators,
as shown by the shading below.

Standard Muting Mode
The F3SJ is set to this operation mode when it is shipped from the
factory. The muting function is enabled by providing a time lag
between muting inputs 1 and 2. Use a separately purchased setting
tool to change parameters related to muting time, or to select other
muting operation modes.
Start Conditions
If both of the following 2 conditions are present, muting is activated.
1. No interrupting object is found in the F3SJ's detection zone, and
control output is ON.
2. After muting input 1 is turned ON (connected to 9 to 24 V for PNP
types, or to 0 to 1.5 V for NPN types), muting input 2 is turned ON
(connected to 9 to 24 V for PNP types, or to 0 to 1.5 V for NPN
types) within the muting input time limit T1 min. to T1 max. (0.03 to
3 s).
Once the conditions in item 2 above are met, the muting function will
be enabled in 0.15 s max.
When condition 1 is satisfied but time condition of 2 is not, a muting
sequence error occurs and receiver’s muting error indicator turns ON.
However, the F3SJ safety functions will continue operating and the
F3SJ will operate normally even during a muting error.
A muting error is released when either of the following occurs:
•When muting is started using a proper procedure
•When power is turned on while muting inputs 1 and 2 are OFF
End Conditions
If either of the following conditions are satisfied, the muting state is
released.
1. Muting input 1 or 2 turns OFF for T3 (0.1 s) or longer.
2. When the muting continuation time exceeds the muting time limit
of T2 (60 s) (a setting tool can be used to change the limit in the
range of 1 to 600 s, or to eliminate the time limit)
*This value is the time when the F3SJ is used singly. When used in
a series, this time is as shown in the table below.
•T1 min: Muting input time limit (min.)
This is the minimum input time lag between muting inputs 1 and 2,
and is set to 0.03 s. If the time lag between muting inputs 1 and 2
are shorter than this value, a muting error is generated.
•T1 max: Muting input time limit (max.)
This is the maximum input time lag between muting inputs 1 and 2,
and is set to 3 s. The minimum value must be less than the
maximum value (min. < max.).
•T2: Muting time limit
This is the continuous time of the muting function, and is set to
60 s. If the muting status exceeds this time, muting is cancelled.
•T3: Allowable pulse-change time for muting input signals
This is the maximum time allowed for a change in the waveform
pulse of muting inputs 1 and 2 while in the muting status.
Note: The muting status can be released even when the system
enters lockout.
The following values can be changed using the Setting Support
Software for the F3SJ:
•T1 min: Muting input time limit (min.)
•T1 max: Muting input time limit (max.)
•T2: Muting time limit
The following values can be changed using the Setting Console:
•T2: Muting time limit
Installation Standard for Muting Sensors
•Set the muting sensors so that they can detect all of the passing
detection objects (palettes, automobiles, etc.). Do not install in a
position so that only the front or rear end of the detection object is
detected.
•Set the muting sensors so that they detect the objects even when
they are loaded on palettes or other transport devices.
•Install the F3SJ and muting sensors so that each object passes
through all muting sensors before the next object arrives at the first
muting sensor. Also, install all F3SJ and muting sensors so that no
person is able to accidentally enter the hazardous area while the
muting function is enabled.
•When objects pass through the muting area at different speeds,
consider limiting the muting time.
•For a muting sensor installation example, see the instruction
manual.
•For details about the override function, see the instruction manual.

Precautions for Safe Use
Indication and meaning for safe use
Meanings of Signal Words
To ensure safe use of the F3SJ-A, signal words and an alert symbol
are used in this catalog to indicate safety-related instructions.
Because these instructions describe details very important to your
safety, it is extremely important that you understand and follow the
instructions. The signal words and alert symbol used in this catalog
are shown below.
!WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in minor or moderate injury, or may result in serious injury or
death. Additionally, there may by significant property damage.
!CAUTION

Definition of Symbol
Warning Labels
For users
!WARNING
The FS3J must be installed, set, and integrated into the mechanical
control system by a qualified technician who has received the
appropriate training. Failure to make correct settings may prevent
detection of people and result in serious injury.
When changing parameters with a setting tool (F39-GWUM or F39-
MC21), the change must be made and the contents of the change
must be managed by the person in charge of the system.
Unintentional or mistaken parameter changes may prevent detection
of people and result in serious injury.
For machines
!WARNING
Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot possibly 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.
Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety
applications. Failure of the F3SJ may cause a person to go
undetected, resulting in serious injury.
Prohibited
Indicates a prohibited action.
68
F3SJ Ver.2
For mounting
!WARNING
Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ after installation to verify
that the F3SJ operates as intended. Do not operate the machine until
the test has been completed and F3SJ operation has been verified.
Unintended function settings may cause a person to go undetected,
resulting in serious injury.
Make sure to secure the safety distance between the F3SJ and the
hazardous parts. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a
person reaches the hazardous part, 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 to 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.
Otherwise it may result in heavy 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).
When detection of an area has been disabled by the fixed blanking
function, provide a protective structure around the entire area that will
prevent a person from passing through it and reaching the hazardous
part of the machinery. Failure to do so may prevent detection of
people and result in serious injury.
After setting the fixed blanking function, be sure to confirm that a test
rod is detected within all areas that require detection. Failure to do so
may prevent detection of people and result in serious injury.
When the fixed blanking function or the floating blanking function is
used, the diameter for the smallest detectable object becomes larger.
Be sure to use the diameter for the smallest detectable object for the
fixed blanking function or the floating blanking function when
calculating the safety distance. Failure to do so may prevent the
machinery from stopping before a person reaches the hazardous part
of the machinery, and result in serious injury.
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the
device. Additional safety measures must be taken to ensure safety
while these functions are working.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object
that is being allowed to be 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.
Muting times must be precisely set according to the application by
qualified personnel who have received appropriate training. In
particular, if the muting time limit is to be set to infinity, the person who
makes the setting must bear responsibility.
Use two independent input devices for the muting inputs.
Install the F3SJ, Muting Sensors, or a protective wall so that workers
cannot enter hazardous areas while muting is in effect, and set muting
times.
Position the switch that is used to activate the override function in a
location where the entire hazardous area can be seen, and where the
switch cannot be operated from inside the hazardous area. Make sure
that nobody is in the hazardous area before activating the override
function.
Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by reflective
surfaces. Failure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious
injury.
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.
Make sure that the F3SJ is securely mounted and its cables and
connectors are properly connected.
Make sure that no foreign material, such as water, oil or dust, enters
the inside of the F3SJ while the cap is removed.
Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in as retro-reflective
configuration. Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use
mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-degree angle.
When using series connections, perform inspection of all connected
F3SJs as instructed in the User's Manual.
For wiring
!WARNING
For PNP output, connect the load between the output and 0 V line.
For NPN output, connect the load between the output and +24 V line.
Connecting the load between the +24 V and 0 V lines results in a
dangerous condition because the operation mode is reversed to "ON
when light is interrupted".
[For PNP output]
Do not short-circuit an output line to +24 V line. Otherwise, the output
is always ON, creating a dangerous situation. Also, 0 V of the power
supply must be grounded so that output should not turn ON due to
grounding of the output line.
[For NPN output]
Do not short-circuit an output line to 0 V line. Otherwise, the output is
always ON, creating a dangerous situation. Also, the +24 V line 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 control outputs
that satisfy the requirements of the necessary safety category.
Do not connect each line of F3SJ to a DC power supply higher than
24 V+20%. Also, do not connect to an AC power supply.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
For 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 rated power voltage (24 VDC±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 enhanced insulation must be applied between the
primary and secondary circuits.
•Automatic recovery of overcurrent protection characteristics
(reversed L sagging)
•Output holding time must be 20 ms or longer.
•Must satisfy output characteristic requirements for class 2 circuit or
limited voltage current circuit defined by UL508.
•Must comply with EMC, laws, and regulations of a country or a
region where F3SJ is used. (Ex: In EU, the power supply must
comply with EMC Low Voltage Directive.)
Double or enhanced insulation from hazardous voltage must be
applied to all input and output lines. Failure to do so may result in
electric shock.
The cable extension length must be no greater than the specified
length. Otherwise, the safety functions may fail to work properly,
resulting in danger.
Installation Conditions
Refer to “Precautions for All Safety Sensors” for installation
conditions.
!WARNING
Make sure to secure the safety distance (S) between the F3SJ and
the hazardous part. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a
person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Note: The response time of a machine is the time period from when
the machine receives a stop signal to when the machine's
hazardous part stops.
Measure the response time on the actual system. Also,
periodically check that the response time of the machine has
not changed.
Refer to the “Precautions for All Safety Sensors” for calculating the
Safety distance.
Prevention of Mutual Interference
Mutual interference from other F3SJ is prevented in up to 3 sets
without series connection.
For series connection
Series connections can prevent mutual interference when multiple
sensors are used. Up to 4 sets, 400 beams, can be connected
(except for the F3SJ-A@-TS Series, for which up to 3 sets,
240 beams, can be connected). The emission of series-connected
F3SJ is time-divided, so mutual interference does not occur and
safety is ensured.
No Series Connections
Refer to “Precautions for All Safety Sensors” for information on
preventing mutual interference of Safety Light Curtains that are not
connected in series.
Do not use a sensor system in a reflective configuration.
Doing so may hinder detection.
Mirrors can be used change the optical route.
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.

Applications Supported by the Setting Tools
Fixed Blanking Function
Summary
Disables specific F3SJ light beams.
!WARNING
When the fixed blanking function is used to disable detection in an
area, install blocking structures or shielding to prevent passage into
the entire hazardous area where detection has been disabled.
Failure to do so may prevent detection of people and result in serious
injury.
When an allowable range of light beams has been set for fixed
blanking, the size of the smallest detectable object will be larger in the
vicinity of interrupting objects. Calculate the safety distance to match
the settings.
After setting the fixed blanking function, you must verify that the F3SJ
detects a test rod at any position in the entire area where intrusion
must be detected. Failure to do so may prevent detection of people
and result in serious injury.
Example Application
In this example, there is always an object such as a conveyor belt in
the detection area, and we want to ignore the conveyor belt.
Description of Functions
Fixed Blanking Function
This function disables part of the F3SJ's detection area and maintains
the control output's ON status even if there is an object in the disabled
area.
The light beams set for fixed blanking must be one area of
consecutive light beams and up to five areas can be set (areas 1 to
5). Fixed blanking cannot be set for all of the light beams.
Setting the Fixed Blanking Area
Set the area that will be subject to fixed blanking.
An interrupting object can be placed in the detection area to perform
teaching and specify light beams for manual settings.
Note: 1. When the Setting Console is being used, only one area can
be set as a fixed blanking area.
2. When the SD Manager Setting Support Software is being
used, up to five areas can be set as fixed blanking areas.
Floating Blanking Function
Summary
Increases the diameter of the F3SJ's smallest detectable object and
turns OFF the control output when multiple objects are detected.
!WARNING
When the floating blanking function is used, it increases the diameter
of the F3SJ's smallest detectable object. Always use the larger
diameter when calculating the safety distance. If the incorrect
diameter is used in the calculation, the machinery may fail to stop
before an operator reaches the hazardous area, resulting in serious
injury.
After setting the floating blanking function, always verify that the F3SJ
system operates as expected. Serious injury may result if an
individual is not detected.
Example Application
When there is a moving object with a fixed width in the detection area
that we do not want to detect, the detection function can be disabled.
Description of Functions
Floating Blanking Function
This function increases the diameter of the smallest detectable object
to allow passage of objects of a certain size or allow interrupting
objects in multiple locations.
Setting the Floating Blanking Area
When the Setting Console is being used, all of the light beams are set
as the floating blanking area. When the SD Manager Setting Support
Software is being used, just one area can be set but the range of the
area can be specified. In the following example, the floating blanking
area is set from the 5th light beam to the 10th light beam (counting
from the bottom). An interrupting object can be placed in the detection
area to perform teaching and specify light beams for manual settings.
Floating Light Beams
The following charts show the relationship between the number of
floating light beams and the safety output operation (safety output not
going OFF). Measure the size of the interrupting object (maximum
diameter) and set the number of floating light beams so that the
object's size is less than the corresponding dimension shown in the
chart.

Example Setting
When an F3SJ-A@14 is being used with an interrupting object that is
20 mm in diameter, set three light beams as floating light beams. With
this setting, the F3SJ's safety output will not turn OFF even if there is
an interrupting object up to 22-mm wide in the floating blanking area.

Floating Blanking Mode
The floating blanking function has two operation modes.
1. Continuous Light Beam Mode
The safety output will not go OFF if the interrupting object is smaller
than the set size, although the safety output will go OFF if objects
pass through several areas in the detection area.
The floating blanking monitor function can be set in this mode.
Refer to the User's Manual for details.
2. Discontinuous Light Beam Mode
A light blockage is detected when the number of light beams
blocked in the area is equal to or greater than the preset number of
light beams.

Warning Zone Function
Summary
The detection zone can be divided into the detection zone and a
warning zone.
!WARNING
The warning zone output is not a safety output. Do not include this
area in the safety distance calculation. Shortening the safety distance
may result in serious injury.
The warning zone cannot be used for safety purposes. Always install
the system so that the hazard is reached by passing through the
detection zone.
The warning zone function can be
used only when the F3SJ is
installed horizontally. This function
cannot be used when the F3SJ is
installed vertically.
Example Application
When an individual enters, a warning lamp lights or buzzer sounds
without stopping the equipment.
Description of Function
Warning Zone Function
Use teaching to set the light beams that you want to set as the
warning zone or manually specify the light beams from the lowest or
highest beam. (See figures 1 and 2.)
To indicate that the warning zone is blocked, allocate the auxiliary
output or external indicator output as the warning zone information.
The following settings cannot be made:
•Setting all light beams as the warning zone (figure 4)
•Setting a warning zone that does not include one of the outer light
beams (figure 5)
If Safety Light Curtains are connected in series, and at least one of an
F3SJ's light beams is a normal light beam, all of a Light Curtain's light
beams can be set as a warning zone (figure 3).

Muting Function
Summary
Makes settings related to the muting function.
!WARNING
The muting function disables the safety functions of the device.
Additional safety measures must be taken to ensure safety while this
function is working.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object
that is being allowed to be pass through the detection zone and a
person.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the status of the
muting function must be installed where they are clearly visible to
workers from all the operating positions.
Muting times must be precisely set according to the application by
qualified personnel who have received appropriate training. In
particular, if the muting time limit is to be set to infinity, the person who
makes the setting must bear responsibility.
Use two independent input devices for the muting inputs. (For the
PNP output-type F3SJ, use a sensor with a PNP transistor output or
N.O. contact. For the NPN output-type F3SJ, use a sensor with an
NPN transistor output or N.O. type contact.)
To prevent a worker from entering the hazardous area while the
muting function is engaged, install the F3SJ, muting sensor, and then
a protective barrier and set a limited muting time.
Example Applications
•Allowing only work pieces to pass into the conveyor entrance
•Operating the muting function in a specific area only
•Setting a different muting mode when standard muting is not
appropriate for the application
Description of Functions (See User's Manual for details.)
Operation Modes
When the SD Manager Setting Support Software is being used, any
one of the following three operation modes can be selected for the
muting function.
1. Standard Muting Mode
This is the default operation mode, which is set when the F3SJ is
shipped from the factory.
The muting function is enabled by turning ON muting inputs 1 and
2 with a time lag.
Note: Settings such as the muting time limit value can be changed.
2. Specialized Exit Muting Mode (Can be set with the SD Manager
Setting Support Software only.)
The muting function is enabled by turning ON muting inputs 1 and
2 with a time lag.
Installation of the muting input sensors is simpler than standard
mode because the Safety Light Curtain's blocked light status is
used to end muting.
3. Position Detection Muting Mode (Can be set with the SD Manager
Setting Support Software only.)
Sensors such as limit switches are used for the muting inputs and
the muting function is enabled by turning muting input from OFF to
ON and then turning muting input 2 from ON to OFF within time
difference T1 max. Use hybrid redundant inputs such as a
combination of an N.O. contact input and an N.C. contact input.
(When using a PNP-output photoelectric switch, use L/ON
operation on one side and D/ON operation on the other side.)
This mode is useful when you want to disable the F3SJ
temporarily, such as when a person is placing an object at the
conveyor entrance.
Partial Muting (Muting area) Settings
The light beams controlled by the muting function can be specified
with a setting tool. (When the F3SJ is shipped, all light beams are set.)
The light beams can be specified by teaching/recording the blocked
light beams as muting light beams or manually specifying the desired
light beams.

Indicator and I/O Settings
Auxiliary Output (Non-safety) and External Indicator Output (Non-safety)
Summary
A setting tool can be used to change the allocation of auxiliary outputs
1 and 2, and external indicator outputs 1 and 2.
!WARNING
Do not use the auxiliary outputs or external indicator outputs for safety
purposes. Serious injury may result if an output fails and a person is
not detected.
Example Applications
•Allocating a lockout output or warning zone output to an auxiliary
output
•Connecting an external indicator to an auxiliary output and making
it flash
An auxiliary output or external indicator output can be connected to
an incandescent light to function as a broken-wire or short-circuit
detector. Refer to the User's Manual for details.
Output Operation Modes (when allocated to an auxiliary output or external indicator output)
Note: When "specified light beam output" is allocated as the output operation mode for auxiliary output 1 or 2 or external indicator output 1 or 2,
that mode cannot be allocated to the other output operations.
*1. A light blockage was detected even though the output is not turned OFF because the blockage occurred at a light beam subject to fixed
blanking, floating blanking, or muting. Blockages are also not processed during overrides.
*2. The fixed blanking light beams or floating blanking light beams must be set.
*3. The specified light beam must be set.

Changing the Detection Distance
Change detection distance function
Summary
The F3SJ's detection distance can be shortened.
Example Application
The F3SJ's detection distance can be shortened to avoid affecting
other photoelectric sensors.
When devices are installed close together, shortening the detection
distance can reduce mutual interference.
Description of Function
The detection distance can be set to 0.5 m, 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 5 m, or
