Precautions on Safety
Regarding the alert symbols and meanings used for the safe uses
In order for our customers to use the F3SJ-A in safety, precautions are indicated in this manual with the alert
symbols and statements such as the followings. Those safety precautions relate to the important descriptions
that must be obeyed for the safe uses and operations. Be sure to obey the precautions.
The following indictions and symbols are used for the descriptions.
Meanimgs of Alert Symbols
Alert Statements in this Manual
For users
The F3SJ must be installed, configured, and incorporated into a machine control system by a sufficiently
trained and qualified person. An unqualified person may not be able to perform these operations properly,
which may cause a person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.
For machines
Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot 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. Human body may not be
detected when F3SJ fails, resulting in serious injury.
Precautions on Safety
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 be significant property damage.
Indicates prohibited actions.

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 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 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. 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 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).
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.
Install the switch that activates the override in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous
area and where it cannot be activated from within 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 foreign objects such as water, oil, or dust do not enter the inside of the F3SJ 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.
When using series connections, perform inspection for all connected F3SJ as described in "Chapter 5
Checklists".
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.)
Double or reinforced insulation from hazardous voltage must be applied to all input and output lines. Failure to
do so may result in electric shock.

Extension of the cable must be within a specified length. If it isn't, safety function may not work properly,
resulting in danger.
Other
To use the F3SJ in PSDI mode (Reinitiation of cyclic operation by the protective equipment), you must
configure an appropriate circuit between the F3SJ and the machine. For details about PSDI, refer to
OSHA1910.217, IEC61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
Do not try to disassemble, repair, or modify this product. Doing so may cause the safety functions to stop
working properly.
Do not use the F3SJ in environments where flammable or explosive gases are present. Doing so may result in
explosion.
Perform daily and 6-month inspections for the F3SJ. Otherwise, the system may fail to work properly, resulting
in serious injury.

Precautions for Correct U se
Observe the precautions described below to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on
product performance.
Installation environment
Do not install the F3SJ in the following types of environments:
•Areas exposed to intense interference light, such as direct sunlight
•Areas with high humidity where condensation is likely to occur
•Areas where corrosive gases are present
•Areas exposed to vibration or shock levels higher than in the specification provisions
•Areas where the product may come into contact with water
•Areas where the product may get wet with oil that can solve adhesive
Do not use radio equipment such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies, or transceivers near the F3SJ.
Wiring and installation
•Make sure to perform wiring while the power supply is OFF. Otherwise, the F3SJ may fail to operate
due to the diagnosis function.
•When extending the communication line with a cable other than the dedicated cable (F39-JC),
use a cable with the same or superior specification. Connect the shield to the 0V line.
Cable specification (extension cable) p.12
•When replacing the cable connectors with other types of connectors, use connectors that provide a
protection grade of IP54 or higher.
•Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals.
•Do not operate the control system until 2 seconds or more (2.2 seconds or more in case of series
connection) after turning ON the power of the F3SJ.
•Be sure to route the F3SJ cable separate from high-potential power lines or through an exclusive
conduit.
•When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply, make sure to ground the FG
terminal (frame ground terminal).
•Install the emitter and receiver so that their vertical direction should match.
