For installation
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.
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 a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached by a person that
passes 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 zones. If a person is able step into the hazardous
zone 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.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous zone and
where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone.
The F3SJ cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the hazardous zone. 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 operating.
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.
You must install F3SJ, muting sensor, and physical barrier so that an operator should not enter hazardous
zone.
Install the switch that activates the muting override function in a location that provides a clear view of the
entire hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone. Make sure that
nobody is in the hazardous zone before activating the override function.
Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by the reflective surface of the F3SJ.
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 secured.
Make sure that foreign material such as water, oil, or dust does not enter the F3SJ or the connector while the
cap is removed.

Introduction
F3SJ-A
User’s Manual
Introduction
Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration as shown below.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 5 Checklists". When using series connections,
perform inspections for every connected F3SJ.
For wiring
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 blocked".
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.
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 equipment safety, of the country or
region where the F3SJ is used (Ex: In EU, the power supply must comply with the EMC Directive and the
Low Voltage Directive.)
