WARNING

♦Machine designers, responsible persons for installation, responsible persons for use,

and machine users

● Machine designers, responsible persons for installation, responsible persons for use, and

machine users must observe applicable laws and regulations relating to installation and

use of the device, and follow the instructions in the manual for installation, maintenance,

and inspection.

●Whether this device functions as designed, and whether system devices, including this

one, comply with safety standards, depends on the suitability of the application, installa-

tion, maintenance, inspection, and method of operation of the device. The machine de-

signer, responsible person for installation, responsible person for use, and machine user

are responsible for these matters.

♦Expert engineer

● An expert engineer is a person such as a machine designer, responsible person for instal-

lation, or responsible person for use who has been professionally trained, has comprehen-

sive knowledge and experience, and is able to solve the various problems that may occur

as work is performed.

♦Operator

●To enable correct operation of the device, the operator should read and understand the

contents of this manual and perform work according to the procedures described therein.

●In the event that the device does not operate correctly, the operator should immediately

stop operation and report the problem to the responsible person for use. Do not operate

the machine until it has been veried that normal operation has been restored.

Introduction

WARNING

♦Fixed blanking and oating blanking functions

●When the sensing area is invalidated by the xed blanking function, set up a protective

structure that will prevent humans and physical objects from passing through the invali-

dated sensing area and reaching dangerous parts of the machine.

Risk of death or serious injury if a human body is not detected.

● The oating blanking function is used to change the size of the smallest detectable object

of the SF4D series light curtain ("light curtain" below) on which the function is set. When

setting or changing the function, recalculate and remeasure the safety distance, and verify

that the distance between the dangerous part of the machine and the sensing area of the

light curtain on which the function is set is always greater than the safety distance.

If a su󰀩cient distance is not established, the machine will not be able to stop before a hu-

man body or object arrives at a dangerous part, creating a risk of death or serious injury.

● Always ensure that applicable laws and regulations are observed when setting or chang-

ing the function.

♦Muting setting change function

●The muting setting change function temporarily invalidates the safety functions of the light

curtain. Check all applicable laws and regulations, and install and operate correctly. Risk

of serious injury to the operator if these requirements are not satised.

♦Operating environment

●Do not use a cell-phone or radio equipment near the device.

●Do not install the device in the following locations:

1) A location directly exposed to sunlight

2) A location subject to condensation due to sudden temperature changes

3) A location where corrosive or ammable gas is present in the air

4) A location with signicant dust, metal powder, or salt

5) A location where organic solvents such as benzene, thinner or alcohol, or strong alka-

lines such as ammonia or caustic soda, may splash on the product or are present in the

air

6) A location subject to vibration or shock, or where water droplets may come in contact

with the product

7) A location near (minimum distance 100mm) high-voltage lines, high-voltage equipment,

power lines, power equipment, equipment with an amateur radio or other transmitter, or

equipment that generates large switching surges

♦Wiring

● Before installing electrical wiring, be sure to turn OFF the power supply.

●All electrical wiring must installed by a qualied electrician or technician in accordance with

applicable local electrical regulations and laws.

●Do not wire in parallel with a high-voltage line or power line, or run through the same con-

duit. Risk of malfunctioning due to induction.

♦Maintenance

● When cleaning the device, use a clean cloth. Never use volatile chemicals.

♦Other matters

● Never modify the device. Risk of death or serious injury due to impaired functionality.
