Compact, Resistant to Mutual
Interference, and Ideal for Picking a
Variety of Parts.
•Mounts to a parts rack and uses indicators to show parts
picking procedures. Functions as a mistake-proofing
Sensor.
•Models with direct UNI-WIRE connection are also
available.
•Use either the built-in LED indicators or external picking
indicators.
Be sure to read Safety Precautions on
page 8.
Features
Sensing Distance of 3 m
Selectable Display Mode: All Lighting,
All Flashing, Elevator-like Lighting,
Accordion-like Lighting
•Six picking indicators provide very clear displays.
•Selectable display speed (slow/fast)
External Picking Indicators Can Be
Connected
An external indicator can be directly connected to the Picking Sensor
and mounted in an easy-to-see location.

Models with Direct UNI-WIRE Connection Enable Simplification of the Picking System Wiring
Up to 64 Picking Sensors can be connected to a single UNI-WIRE Interface Unit.
Ordering Information
Sensors
*1. The UNI-WIRE SYSTEM is a wire-saving system developed jointly by NKE Corporation and Kuroda Precision Industries, Ltd.
*2. Models with PNP outputs are also available. To order PNP Models, replace A with C in the model number for a Pre-wired Model and B with D in the model number
for a Pre-wired Connector Model (Example: F3W-D052C).
*3. The XS2F-D521-@G0 is the applicable connector cable. The colors of the external sheathes of the conductors, however, are different. Refer to the XS2.

Setting Method
NPN Open-collector Output Models
DIP Switch 1 Mode Switching
Emitters
*1. DIP Switch 1 Picking Display Mode Setting
*2. The flashing speed can be changed in picking display mode (all flashing,
elevator-like lighting, or accordion-like lighting) or in external picking display
mode. The flashing speed varies with each display mode.
*3. This setting is supported for F3W-D052@P-L Emitters only.
*4. Mutual Interference Prevention Function:
The frequency selector is used to switch the emitting frequency between A
and B. Making the emitting frequencies of two Sensors different helps
prevent malfunction caused by mutual interference.
Receivers
Models with Direct UNI-WIRE Connection
Setting Addresses
(1) Set the picking instruction input address using DIP switch 2
on the Emitter and Receiver.
(2) Set the control output addresses using DIP switch 3 on the
Receiver.
•The total number of switch addresses set to ON
determines the set address (e.g., address 22 in
the diagram at right).
•Make sure that the addresses of the picking
instruction inputs of the Emitter and the
Receiver that are used as a set are the same.
Transmission Status
The transmission indicator indicates the status of
bus transmission as follows:
Flashing: Normal operation
ON or OFF: Transmission error
Only one picking indicator flashing also indicates a transmission error.
Weight
The weight of the F3W-D052U in the UNI-WIRE SYSTEM is the
weight of one terminal consisting of the Emitter and Receiver pair.
IDs
IDs are set separately for the Emitter and the Receiver.
Emitter: The picking instruction input address setting is the ID
address.
Receiver: The control output address setting is the ID address.
Note: The ID is an identification number for broken wire position detection.
Power Supply
If a power voltage drop occurs in a remote section, consider using a
local (separate) power supply.

Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
Do not apply the F3W-D as safety mechanisms used
in pressing machines or any other safety
mechanisms for protecting the human body from
danger.
(1) Do not apply the F3W-D as safety mechanisms used in pressing
machines, shears, rolling machines, spinning machines, cotton
mill machines, or robots for the protection of an operator’s hands
and body.
(2) The F3W-D is designed for detection of the human body or moving
objects in the detection area but not for protection against danger.
(3) The F3W-D or any product incorporating the F3W-D may be
exported to any country. Should the F3W-D cause any problem
conflicting with local laws or related to product liability locally,
however, OMRON shall, without exception, assume no
responsibility for it.
Before using more than one F3W-D Sensor in parallel or series, take
necessary countermeasures against mutual interference so that the
Sensors will not malfunction. Refer to Mutual Interference Prevention
Function on the right.
●Operating Environment
•Do not use the Sensor in an environment containing flammable or
volatile gases.
•Do not use the Sensor underwater.
•Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor.
•Always turn OFF the system power before installing or replacing the
Sensor.
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed
product ratings.
●System Design
Mutual Interference Prevention Function
(1) Two Sets of Sensors:
Set these Sensors to different frequencies with the frequency
selector. Refer to DIP Switch 1 Mode Switching on page 7.
If the mutual interference prevention function is not used, and there
are two Sensors with the same frequency setting, a beam from the
Emitter of one Sensor may hit the Receiver of the other Sensor,
resulting in malfunction.
This function cannot prevent mutual interference between the F3W-D
Sensor and a Photoelectric Sensor of a different model.
(2) Three or More Sets of Sensors:
When 3 or more sets of Sensors are used in parallel, mutual
interference may result in malfunction. Take the following measures
to prevent mutual interference, and check for mutual interference.
While in LONG mode, the Sensors are more easily affected by
interference. Therefore, if the distance between the Emitter and
Receiver of a Sensor is 1 m or less, use the SHORT mode.

•The distance between two adjacent sets of Sensors must be at
least l1or l2, which does not cause mutual interference between two
Sensors with the same frequency setting. l1or l2is at least 1.5 times
the distance shown in Parallel Operating Range of the Engineering
Data.
•Install a baffle so that there will not be mutual interference between
Sensors with the same frequency setting. (See Figure 1.)
A light reflection from the wall or floor may go around a baffle and
reach the Receivers. Install a baffle so that it will also block any light
reflection. (See Figure 2.)
●Wiring Precautions
Connection
•Before turning ON the power, make sure that the supply voltage is
within the maximum allowable voltage range.
•Always connect the sync lines.
•Be very careful not to get metal chips in the connector, especially
during wiring.
•Incorrect wiring may damage the equipment. Make sure that the
cable length and routing are appropriate to prevent the connectors
and cables from getting disconnected.
•Always leave the operation cover closed during operation.
•Applying excessive force to the mode switch may result in damage.
Do not apply a force of more than 5 N.
Cables
Make sure that the bending radius is 25 mm or more.
●Installation Precautions
Installation
•Install the Sensor so that its sensing face will not receive light from
the sun, fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps, and other light
sources.
•Do not strike the Sensor with a hammer or any other tool during
installation, otherwise the internal circuits of the Sensor may be
damaged.
•Install the Emitter and Receiver in the same orientation as shown in
the following figure. (The cables must be in the same direction.)
•Use M4 screws to secure the Sensor body.
•Secure the case to a tightening torque of 1.2 N·m or less.
Reflection from Wall or Floor
If the Emitter and Receiver are installed as shown in the following
illustration, all the axes may not be interrupted due to light reflection
from the floor or wall. Make sure that the Emitter and Receiver detect
the sensing object properly before using the F3W-D in actual
operation.

Operation and Stability Status Display
•The following illustration shows the indicator status corresponding
to each incident level.
•Install the Receiver so that the green stability indicators are both
ON in light receiving status.
Error Display
F3W-D052 Picking Sensors are provided with only
one error display mode.
If an error occurs, the indicator on the Sensor’s
Receiver, as indicated by the arrow in the diagram
on the right, will flash.
The error indicated in this example is a
synchronization error.
The possible causes are as follows:
1. The sync line is not connected.
2. The sync line is shorted with another line.
3. UNI-WIRE communications are not being
performed (when an F3W-D052U UNI-WIRE
Direct Connection Model is being used).

resistant to environmental fluctuations such as temperature, voltage, dust, and
setting deviation after installation. For applications where a stable light-receiving
area is not obtained, attention must be paid to environmental fluctuations.
