Quick Installation Manual
1. Precautions for Correct Use
Observe the precautions described below to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on
product performance.
■Storage conditions and installation environment
• Do not install, use, or store the F3SG-R for a long time at a temperature or humidity out of the specified
range.
• This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio interference, in which case the
Responsible Person may be required to take adequate measures to reduce interference.
■Wiring and installation
• Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals.
• Be sure that there is nothing in the detection zone and the stable-state indicator is turned ON after power is
turned ON.
• Do not operate the control system until 2 seconds or more after turning ON the power of the F3SG-R.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply, make sure to ground the PE
terminal (protective earth terminal).
• Install the emitter and receiver to the same vertical direction.
Use brackets of specified quantities and locations according to the dimensions.
If the brackets described above are not used, ratings and performance cannot be met.
• Do not install the F3SG-R close to a device that generates high-frequency noise. Otherwise, take sufficient
blocking measures.
• Sharing the power supply with other devices may cause the F3SG-R to be affected by noise or voltage
drop. It is recommended that the F3SG-R use a power supply dedicated for safety components, not shared
with other devices.
■Cleaning
• Do not use thinner, benzene, or acetone for cleaning. They affect the product's resin parts and paint on the
housing.
• Use a soft cloth which is dry or wetted with clean water for cleaning. Do not use solvents.
■Object detection
• The F3SG-R cannot detect transparent and/or translucent objects.

9. Safety Distance
The safety distance is the distance that must be set between the F3SG-R and a machine's hazardous part to
stop the hazardous part before a person or object reaches it. The safety distance varies according to the
standards of each country and the individual specifications of each machine. Always refer to the relevant
standards.
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.
9-1. Safety Distance Formulas according to ISO 13855/EN ISO 13855
Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach
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 F3SG-R
• C: Additional distance calculated by the detection capability (or
object resolution) of the F3SG-R
Calculation Example for Systems with a Detection Capability
of 40 mm or Less
Use K = 2,000 mm/s and C = 8 x (d - 14 mm) in formula (1) for the cal-
culation.
S = 2,000 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 8 x (d - 14 mm)
• S = Safety distance (mm)
• Tm = Machine's response time (s)
• Ts = Response time of the F3SG-R from ON to OFF (s)
• d = Detection capability (or object resolution) of the F3SG-R (mm)
[Calculation example]
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.008 s, and d = 14 mm:
S=2,000 mm/s x (0.05 s + 0.008 s) + 8 x (14 mm - 14 mm)
= 116 mm . . . Formula (2)
If the result < 100 mm, use S = 100 mm.
If the result exceeds 500 mm, use the following expression where K = 1,600 mm/s.
S=1,600 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 8 x (d - 14 mm) . . . Formula (3)
If the result of this formula (3) < 500 mm, use S = 500 mm.
Calculation Example for Systems with Larger Detection Capability than 40 mm
Use K = 1,600mm/s and C = 850mm in formula (1) for calculation.
S = 1,600mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 850 . . . Formula (4)
• S = Safety distance (mm)
• Tm = Machine's response time (s)
• Ts = Response time of the F3SG-R from ON to OFF (s)
[Calculation example]
When Tm = 0.05 s and Ts = 0.008 s:
S = 1,600mm/s x (0.05 s + 0.008 s) + 850mm
= 942.8 mm
Make sure to secure the safety distance (S) between the F3SG-R and the hazardous part. Other-
wise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious
injury.

Quick Installation Manual
Possible Circumventing by Reaching Over the Detection Zone
If access to the hazardous zone by reaching over the detection zone of vertically mounted F3SG-R cannot be
excluded, the height and the safety distance, S, of the F3SG-R shall be determined. S shall be determined by
comparison of the calculated values in Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach . The greater
value resulting from this comparison shall be applied.
S=(K × T) + Cro . . . Formula (5)
• S: Safety distance
• K: Approach speed to the detection zone
• T: Total response time of the machine and F3SG-R
• Cro: Approach distance based on the distance which personnel
can move towards the hazardous zone of a machine by reaching
over the detection zone. The distance is determined in the table
below based on the height of the hazardous zone, a, and the
height of the upper edge of the detection zone, b.
Note:Lower edge of the detection zone above 300 mm in relation to the reference
plane does not offer sufficient protection against crawling below.
First, use K = 2,000 mm/s in formula (5) for the calculation. If the
result of this calculation is less than 100 mm, use S = 100 mm.
If the result exceeds 500 mm, use K = 1,600 mm/s to recalculate it. If
the result of the recalculation is less than 500 mm, use S = 500 mm.
Note 1.Upper edge of the detection zone below 900 mm is not included since they do not offer sufficient protection against
circumventing or stepping over.
Note 2.When determining the values of this table, it shall not be interpolated. If the known values a, b or Cro are between two values of
this table, the greater safety distance shall be used.
[Calculation example]
• T: Tm + Ts (s)
• Tm: Machine's response time (s)
• Ts: Response time of the F3SG-R from ON to OFF (s)
• a: Height of machine hazardous zone (mm)
• b: Height of upper edge of detection zone (mm)

Quick Installation Manual
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.008 s, a = 1,400 mm, b = 1,500 m:
From the table above, Cro = 850 mm. Since b is between 1,400 mm and 1,600 mm, b = 1,400 mm which has
the greater Cro value, shall be used.
S = 2,000 mm/s × (0.05 s + 0.008 s) + 850 mm
= 966 mm
Since 966 mm is greater than 500 mm, use K = 1,600 mm/s and recalculate it.
S = 1,600 m/s × (0.05 s + 0.008 s) + 850 mm
= 942.8 mm
Compare S = 942.8 mm with the calculation for Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach, and
choose the larger value as the safety distance.
For the system with a detection capability of 40 mm max., the safety distance S is 942.8 mm since this is larger
than S = 116 mm calculated in the calculation example of Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach.
For the system with a detection capability larger than 40 mm, the safety distance S is 942.8 mm since this is
the same value as S = 942.8 mm calculated in the calculation example of Detection Zone Orthogonal to
Direction of Approach.
Refer to Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach under 9-1. Safety Distance Formulas according to ISO 13855/EN
ISO 13855 .
Detection Zone Parallel to Direction of Approach
Use K = 1,600 mm/s and C = (1200 - 0.4 x H) in formula
(1) for calculation. Note that C must not be less than 850 mm.
S = 1,600 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 1200 - 0.4 x H
• S = Safety distance (mm)
• Tm = Machine's response time (s)
• Ts = Response time of F3SG-R from ON to OFF (s)
• H = Installation height (mm)
Note that H must satisfy:
1000 ≥ H ≥ 15 (d - 50 mm) ≥ 0 mm
Also, you must include a hazardous condition under which
a person may go through under a detection zone if H
exceeds 300 mm (200 mm for other purpose than indus-
trial use) into risk assessment.
[Calculation example]
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.008 s, and d = 14 mm:
S = 1,600 mm/s x (0.05 s + 0.008 s) + 1200 - 0.4 x 500 mm
= 1092.8 mm
When a warning zone is configured as in the figure, you must calculate L, a distance from an end of casing to
a detection zone, using a formula below:
L = (Total number of F3SG-R beams - number of warning
zone beams - 1) x P + 10
P: Beam Gap (mm)

9-2. Safety Distance Formulas according to ANSI B11.19
If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SG-R orthogonally, calculate the safety distance as
shown below.
S = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf
• S: Safety distance
• K: Approach speed to the detection zone (the value recommended by OSHA standard is 1,600 mm/s)
Approach speed K is not specified in the ANSI B.11.19 standard. To determine the value of K to apply, con-
sider all factors, including the operator's physical ability.
• Ts = Machine's stopping time (s)
• Tr = Response time of the F3SG-R from ON to OFF (s)
• Tc = Machine control circuit's maximum response time required to activate its brake (s)
• Tbm = Additional time (s)
If a machine has a brake monitor, "Tbm= Brake monitor setting time - (Ts + Tc)". If it has no brake monitor, we
recommend using 20% or more of (Ts + Tc) as additional time.
• Dpf = Additional distance
According to ANSI's formula, Dpf is calculated as shown below:
Dpf = 3.4 x (d - 7.0): Where d is the detection capability (or object resolution) of the F3SG-R (unit: mm)
[Calculation example]
When K = 1,600 mm/s, Ts + Tc = 0.06 s, brake monitor setting time = 0.1 s,
Tr = 0.008 s, and d = 14 mm:
Tbm = 0.1 - 0.06 = 0.04 s
Dpf = 3.4 x (14 - 7.0) = 23.8 mm
S = 1,600 x (0.06 + 0.008 + 0.04) + 23.8 = 196.6 mm
