System Configuration and Functions Description of Functions External Test Function 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 F3SJ-B is interrupted. To stop the emission, open the test input line or apply voltage of 0 V to 1/2 Vs to the emitter's test input line.
System Configuration and Functions Self-test Function The F3SJ-B performs the self-test when power is turned ON (within 2 seconds) to check for errors. Also, it regularly performs the self-test (within a response time) while operating. This function cannot be cancelled. Power supply 2 s max.
System Configuration and Functions Lockout Reset Function When the cause of the lockout is removed, you can release the lockout by using either of the following methods. •Cycle the power back ON •Reset input Open or apply 0 V to 1/2 Vs to the reset input line (yellow) for 1 s or longer, and then apply a voltage of Vs-3 V to Vs again.
System Configuration and Functions Auxiliary Output Function The auxiliary output is used to monitor the status of the F3SJ-B. This output can be connected to a device such as programmable controller. Do not use the auxiliary output for safety applications. Human body may not be detected when F3SJ-B fails, resulting in serious injury.
System Configuration and Functions External Device Monitoring Function This function detects malfunctions, such as welding, in external relays (or contactors) that control the hazardous part of a machine. This function constantly monitors that a specified voltage is applied to the receiver's external device monitoring input line, and the system enters lockout state when an error occurs.

Checklists Pre-Operation Checklists 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. After installation, the highest level administrator must use the following checklist to verify the operation, placing a check mark in each of the boxes.
Page 95
Checklists Operation check while the machine is stopped The test rod is not deformed. Use a test rod with an appropriate diameter for inspection. The sensor can detect a test rod wherever it is in the detection zone. In other words, when a test rod is inserted into the detection zone, the stable-state indicators (STB) turn off and the ON/OFF output- state indicators turn red.
Checklists Maintenance Checklists Perform daily and 6-month inspections for the F3SJ-B. 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 97
Checklists Checking that hazardous parts stop while the machine operates The hazardous parts are movable when nothing is in the detection zone. The hazardous parts stop immediately when a test rod is inserted into the detection zone at three positions: "directly in front of the emitter", "directly in front of the receiver", and "between the emitter and receiver".
