Precautions Precautions WARNING The F3ET2 multi-beam photoelectric sensor with beam evaluation function is not a safety component for ensuring the safety of people which is defined in EC directive (2006/42/EC) or by any other regulations or standards. GENERAL INFORMATION The instructions in this manual must be followed in order to safeguard correct installation. The barrier does not contain any parts that are subject to maintenance;...
Overview F3ET2 is a multi-beam light curtain for easy area detection for various applications. Due to its robust housing F3ET2 is also suitable for hash environments in industrial automation. F3ET2 is provided with PNP and NPN transistor output. F3ET2 is available in two resolutions: Model Sensing distance Pitch resolution...
2-1 General 2-1 General The light curtain consists of one bar with light emitting optical elements and of one with receiving optical elements. The photosensitive elements are scanned in sequence, thus broken rays are detected. F3ET2 features optical synchronisation and does not require synchronization wire between transmitter and receiver.
2-2 Mechanical installation 2-2 Mechanical installation Mounting accessories The F3ET2 system is mechanically installed by using the T-slots on the two sides or the back- side of the housing. Use the movable bolts, washers, growers and nuts to fix the mounting brackets as shown in the picture Description movable M6 bolt...
2-3 Operating environment Mechanical Mounting Please mount the light curtains in proper alignment as shown in the pictures below by using the brackets provided with the light curtains. If F3ET2 is installed at long distances the laser alignment aid F39-TGR-LLK2-CL provides a visible laser spot for simplified installation.
2-5 Wiring & output circuit 2-5 Wiring & output circuit Please connect the light curtain as described below: Variable Power Supply RECEIVER Earth Ground +24 VDC 0 VDC EMITTER Connector PIN assignment - Receiver Type Internal wiring Colour Signal name Brown White not used...
2-6 Setting the internal selector-switches 2-6 Setting the internal selector- switches Precautions for Correct Use All the operations listed below must only be carried out when the receiver is disconnected to the power supply. L-ON/D-ON setting and distance setting can be changed by selector switches. To access the selector switches unscrew the end cap of the receiver and transmitter unit: There are two lines of dip switches in each transmitter and receiver.
