Alert Statements in this Manual
Meanings of Alert Symbols
Regarding the alert symbols and meanings used for the safe uses
In order to use the F3SJ-B safely, the precautions listed in this Instruction
Sheet indicated by alert symbols and descriptions must be followed. Failure
to follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation.
The following indications and symbols are used for the descriptions.
The F3SJ-B 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.
Thoroughly read this manual and understand the installation procedures,
operation check procedures, and maintenance procedures before using
the product.
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

a personreaches the hazardous part, 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.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
For Users
For Machines
Indicates prohibited actions.
Indicates mandatory actions.
Indicates the risk of electric shock.
Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ-B after installation to verify
that the F3SJ-B 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.
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, eliminating areas where the
sensors do not reach. If a person is able step into the hazardous zone of a
machine and remain behind the F3SJ-B'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.
Make sure to install the F3SJ-B 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 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-B cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the
hazardous zone. Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).
Install the F3SJ-B so that it is not affected by a reflective surface.
Failure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious injury.
When using more than one set of F3SJ-Bs, 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-B is securely mounted and its cables
and connectors are properly secured.
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.
Connect the load between the output and 0V line (PNP output). Connecting
the load between the output and +24 V line will result in a dangerous
condition because operation is reversed to "ON when blocked".
Do not short-circuit the output line to the +24 V line. Otherwise, the output
is always ON. Also, the 0 V 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.
Make sure to perform wiring while the power supply is OFF.
Do not connect each line of F3SJ-B to a DC power supply of more than
24 VDC+20%.Also, do not connect to an AC power supply. Failure to
do so may result in electric shock or breakdown of the device.
Do not use the auxiliary output for safety applications.A person may go
undetected even if F3SJ-B is out of order, resulting in serious injury.
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.
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-B in environments where flammable or
explosive gases are present. Doing so may result in explosion.
Perform daily and 6-month inspections for the F3SJ-B. Otherwise,
the system may fail to work properly, resulting in serious injury.
Do not use radio equipment such as cellular phones, walkie-talkies,
or transceivers near the F3SJ-B.
Extension of the cable must be within a specified length. If it isn't,
safety function may not work properly, resulting in danger.
To use the F3SJ-B in PSDI mode (Reinitiation of cyclic operation by
the protective equipment), you must configure an appropriate circuit
between the F3SJ-B and the machine. For details about PSDI, refer
to OSHA1910.217, IEC61496-1, and other relevant standards
and regulations.
For the F3SJ-B to comply with IEC61496-1 and UL508, the DC power
supply unit must satisfy all of the following conditions:
• Must be within the rated power voltage (24 V 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
• 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-B is used
(Ex: In EU, the power supply must comply with the EMC Directive
and the Low Voltage Directive.)
Perform an inspection for all F3SJ-B as described in
"Chapter 5 Checklists" in the User's Manual.
