Page 7: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Indications and Meanings for Safe Use The precautions listed in this document indicated by alert symbols and statements must be followed for the safe use of the F3SG-R. Failure to follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation.Thoroughly read this manual and understand the installation procedures, operation check procedures, and maintenance procedures before using F3SG-R.
Page 8 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. To use F3SG-R in PSDI mode (initiation of cycle operations by a presence sensing device), you must configure an appropriate circuit between F3SG-R and the machine.For details about PSDI, refer to OSHA1910.217, IEC61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
Page 9 Detection capability gets larger when fixed/floating blanking or reduced resolution function is used. When these functions are used, the safety distance calculation must be based on the increased detection capability for these functions. Otherwise the machine may not stop before a person reaches to the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Page 10 Install F3SG-R so that it is not affected by reflective surfaces. Failure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious injury. For an installation distance from reflective surfaces, see 4-1- 3. Distance from Reflective Surfaces. When using more than 1 set of F3SG-R in adjacent areas, the emitter of one F3SG-R may interfere with the receiver of the other, causing the safety functions to stop working properly.
Page 11 Do not connect each line of F3SG-R to a DC power supply of higher than 24 VDC+20%. Also, do not connect it to an AC power supply. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. Make sure to perform wiring while the power supply is OFF. Do not use the auxiliary output for safety applications.
Page 12 Other 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 F3SG-R in environments where flammable or explosive gases are present. Doing so may result in explosion. Perform daily and 6-month inspections for the F3SG-R as described in Chapter 6 Checklists.
Page 13: Precautions For Safe Use

Page 53: Waveform Of Safety Outputs
System Operation and Functions 2-6-1-2. Waveform of safety outputs When the safety outputs are in the ON state, they are cyclically turned OFF as shown below to test the output circuit. When this OFF signal is fed back, the output circuit is diagnosed as normal. If the output signal does not include an OFF pulse signal due to short-circuit, etc, the receiver diagnoses a failure in the output circuit or wiring, and it enters the Lockout state.
Page 54: External Test
System Operation and Functions 2-7. External Test F3SG-RA Series F3SG-RE Series 2-7-1. Overview This function stops the emission using an external signal. It can be used to verify that a safety system should properly stop (safety output turns OFF) when F3SG-RA is interrupted. To stop the emission, apply the following voltage to the emitter's TEST input line according to the DIP switch settings of the emitter.

Page 78 System Operation and Functions The muting sensor is blocked and the safety function of the F3SG-RA is disabled Hazardous zone F3SG-RA A2 Workpiece Muting sensors A1 and B1 are turned OFF but A2 and B2 are ON, so the muting state is still maintained.
Page 79 System Operation and Functions To enable the muting state, D3 and d2 must satisfy formulas (3) and (4), respectively. This distance must prevent the muting state from being enabled by a person passing through the muting sensors. Also, install the F3SG-RA and muting sensors so that each workpiece passes through all muting sensors before the next workpiece arrives at the first muting sensor.

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. After installation, the highest level administrator must use the following checklist to verify the operation, placing a check mark in each of the boxes.

Checklists When the ON/OFF indicator is green and the F3SG-RA is blocked and then returned to unblocked state, the ON/OFF indicator remains red. The RESET input turns the ON/OFF indicator to green. When muting function is used, minimum muting time limit required must be set. When muting function's operation mode is exit-only muting mode, minimum muting end wait time required must be set.
Page 231: Maintenance Checklists
Checklists 6-2. Maintenance Checklists Perform daily and 6-month inspection for the F3SG-R. Otherwise, the system may fail to work properly, resulting in serious injury. Do not try to disassemble, repair, or modify this product. Doing so may cause the safety functions to stop working properly.
Page 232: Checking That Hazardous Parts Stop While The Machine Operates
Checklists The test rod is detected when it is moved around in the detection zone as shown in the diagram below. In other words, when a test rod is inserted into the detection zone, the Stable-state indicator turns OFF and the ON/OFF indicator turns red. When fixed blanking function is used, you must ensure that all blanked zones in the detection zone are covered by a hard barrier guard and there must be no zone in the detection zone where the test rod goes undetected.
Page 233 Checklists When muting function setting is changed, a muting sensor must be installed so that muting state should not occur when a human body enters a hazardous zone of a machine. When muting function setting is changed, a muting sensor must consist of 2 independent devices. When the configuration of the cascade connection is changed, either of the following is attached on a secondary sensor farthest from its power supply: - End Cap...

Page 242: Warning
Appendix 7-1-2. Warning 7-1-2-1. Description If an error is detected that prevents the F3SG-R to continue normal operation, the STB or SEQ indicator blinks to notify warning information according to the error. The F3SG-R continues normal operation. When the cause of the error is solved, the F3SG-R automatically recovers from the warning status.

Page 252: Glossary
Appendix 7-3. Glossary Term Description Accumulated load switching frequency Total number of operations of a load to be connected to the F3SG-RA, from when the F3SG-RA is first energized until the present time. Allowable Beams Dynamic Muting: Area(s) (or beam(s)) to be added in a Dynamic Muting zone, in order to prevent an accidental interruption of the F3SG-RA due to vibration.
Page 253 Appendix Term Description Interlock reset Cancels the Interlock state. Inverted signal output mode In this mode, the logic of the Auxiliary output signal is reversed. Light level diagnosis information Information to be signaled to the Auxiliary output or Lamp when the Safety output is in the ON state and when the incident light level is from 100% to 170% of the ON-threshold value for 10 seconds or more.
Page 254 Appendix Term Description PELV Protected Extra Low Voltage. A grounded circuit separated by double insulation or equivalent from hazardous voltage. It does not generate voltage that exceeds ELV under normal conditions and under single-fault conditions. Normally, protection against direct contact is required. PNP/NPN Selection Function to select the safety output type between PNP and NPN.
