Safety Precaution
I
Laser beam!
Laser protection class 2
Do not look into the laser beam.
Pay attention to the accident prevention regulations
and the laser protection class.
Visible laser emission!
Avoid any indirect or direct radiation of
reflected or emitted laser light!
Special Hints
I
Recommended Adjustment
To assure stable working conditions the green stability LED
should be always turned ON.
The green LED displays two stability conditions:
1. Output stable ON (red LED on)
2. Output stable OFF (red LED off)
Best performance can be achieved if the sensing target is located
closer than -10 % of the setting distance or the shiny background
is fixed +10 % behind the switching position.
Correct Operation
The moving direction of the sensor or object should preferably be
along the optical axis of the light beam. Lateral approach is also
possible. To prevent malfunction, avoid movement from the top to
the bottom (or from the bottom to the top).
Sensing distance
potentiometer
To prevent mutual interference when two sensors are installed
opposite each other, ensure that their optical axes are not aligned
with each other.
Avoid influences of any strong ambient light sources that can
decrease the sensitivity of the sensor or cause unstable working
conditions.

Connections and Precautions
If the input/output lines of the photoelectric sensor are placed in
the same conduit or duct as power lines or high-voltage lines, the
photoelectric sensor could malfunction, or even be damaged by
electrical noise. Either separate the wiring or use shielded lines
as input/output lines to the photoelectric sensor.
The cable connected to the Sensor can be extended up to 50 m
provided that the diameter of each wire is 0,3 mm² minimum.
Maintenance
Clean the optical surface from time to time by using a soft cloth.
Startup Operation
A maximum of 300 ms is required from the time power is turned
on until the F3C is able to detect objects. If power is supplied to
the loads and the F3C from different sources, turn on power to the
F3C first.
Water Resistance
Do not use the F3C in water, in rain or outdoors.
