5-1. Mutual Interference Prevention
■Series Connection
Series connection can prevent mutual interference when multiple sensors are used. Up to 4 sets, 400 beams,
can be connected. The emission of series-connected F3SJ-AM is time-divided, so mutual interference does
not occur and safety is ensured.
■No Connection
Mutual interference is prevented in up to 3 sets, using interference light avoidance algorithm. If 4 or more
sets of F3SJ-AM are installed and are not connected to each other, arrange them so that mutual interference
does not occur. If 2 sets are installed near each other, reflection from the surface of the F3SJ-AM may cause
mutual interference. When mutual interference occurs, the safety outputs are turned OFF in a moment or the
F3SJ-AM enters lockout. Combining countermeasures 1 to 4 shown below is effective.
1. Install a physical barrier between 2 sets
2. Alternate the direction of emission between 2 sets (alternation) If 2 sets are installed near each other,
reflection from the surfaces may cause mutual interference. For such a case, it can be improved by
reducing operating range through the setting tool (see Step 3).
3. Reducing operating range (setting change by the setting tool is required)
4. Keep sufficient distance between the F3SJ-AMs so that mutual interference does not occur
5-2. Distance from Reflective Surfaces
Install the sensor system at distance D or further from highly reflective surfaces such as metallic walls, floors,
ceilings, or workpieces, as shown below.
5-3. Safety Distance
How to calculate the safety distance specified by International Standard ISO 13855(European standard EN
ISO 13855)(Reference)
■If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ-AM perpendicularly
S = K x T + C . . . Formula (1)
• S: Safety distance
• K: Approach speed to the detection zone
• T: Total response time of the machine and F3SJ-AM
• C: Additional distance calculated by the detection capability of the F3SJ-AM
Calculate by using Formula (1) with K = 1,600mm/s
and C = 850mm:
S = 1,600mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 850 . . . formula (4)
S = Safety distance (mm)
Tm = Response time of the machine (s)
Ts = F3SJ-AM's response time from ON to OFF (s)
Please refer to the user's manual for calculation of following safety distance.
