Page 48: External Device Monitoring Function (Edm)
System Configuration and Functions External Device Monitoring Function (EDM) This function detects malfunctions, such as welding, in external relays (or contactors) that control the hazardous area of a machine. This function constantly monitors that a specified voltage is applied to the receiver's external device monitoring input line, and enters lockout state when an error occurs.
Page 49: Muting System
System Configuration and Functions Muting System The muting function temporarily disables the safety function of the F3SJ, keeping the safety outputs ON even if beams are blocked. This makes it possible to install safety light curtains for AGV passage, enabling both safety and productivity.
Page 50: Upgrading F3Sj For Muting System
The muting sensor is the sensor that is the trigger for temporarily disabling the F3SJ's safety functions. Through-beam or retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors, or limit switches can be used as muting sensors. (recommendation: OMRON E3Z series, E2E series, D4N series)Use those with PNP outputs or N.O. type contacts.

Page 61: Override Function
System Configuration and Functions Override Function The override function forcibly turns the safety outputs ON when the muting start condition is not satisfied. If a workpiece stops while passing through the detection zone of the F3SJ, as shown below, causing a muting error, the normal state cannot be recovered unless the workpiece is removed from the muting sensors and the detection zone of the F3SJ.
Page 62 System Configuration and Functions Override end conditions When either of the following conditions is satisfied, the function is released. •When 60 seconds has elapsed under the override status •All muting sensors are turned OFF •When the reset input is turns from OFF to ON and/or the test input turns from ON to OFF Override state can be released if a sensor transitions to lockout as well.
Page 63: External Test Function
System Configuration and Functions External Test Function This function forcibly stops the emission using an external signal. It can be used to verify that the safety system should stop properly when the F3SJ is interrupted. To stop the emission, apply 9~24V to the emitter's test input line. The voltage must be applied for a period 0.3s plus 4 times of Toff or longer.
Page 64: Resetting Lockout
System Configuration and Functions Resetting Lockout When the cause of the lockout is removed, the lockout condition can be released by using either of the following methods. •Cycle the power back ON •Set the reset input line open or to 0 to 1.5V for 300ms or longer, and then apply 9 to 24V again (except for lockout due to a communication error or a wiring error).

Wiring/Installation Installation Conditions Detection Zone and Approach Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached by passing through the sensor's detection zone. Install the sensors so that part of the person is always present in the detection zone when working in a machine's hazardous areas.
Page 67: Safety Distance
Wiring/Installation Safety Distance The safety distance is the distance that must be set between the F3SJ and a machine's hazardous part to stop the hazardous part before a person or object reaches it. The safety distance varies according to the standards of each country and the individual specifications of each machine. In addition, the calculation of the safety distance differs if the direction of approach is not vertical to the detection zone of the F3SJ.

Page 69: Distance From Reflective Surfaces
Wiring/Installation Distance from Reflective Surfaces Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by reflective surfaces. Failure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious injury. Install the sensor system at distance D or further from highly reflective surfaces such as metallic walls, floors, ceilings, or workpieces, as shown below.
Page 70: Mutual Interference Prevention
Wiring/Installation Mutual Interference Prevention Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration. Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-degree angle. When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual interference does not occur, such as by configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.
Page 71 Wiring/Installation No connection Mutual interference is prevented in up to 3 sets, using interference light avoidance algorithm. If 4 or more sets of F3SJ are installed and are not connected to each other, arrange them so that mutual interference does not occur. If 2 sets are installed near each other, reflection from the surface of the F3SJ may cause mutual interference.
Page 72 Wiring/Installation Distance between emitter and Allowable installation distance D receiver (operating range L) For 0.2 to 3m 0.26m For 3m or more L x tan5 ° = L x 0.088 (m) When using 4 or more sets that are not series-connected, the installations shown below may cause mutual interference.
Page 73: Series Connection
Wiring/Installation Series Connection From 2 to 4 sets of F3SJ can be series-connected. Series connection allows them to be used as a a safety light curtain, requiring only 1 set to be wired to a controller and preventing mutual interference. If any 1 set of series-connected F3SJ is blocked, both of the safety outputs turn OFF.
Page 74: Connection Procedure
Wiring/Installation Connection Procedure When using the F39-JJR15L series connection cable for close contact (sold separately) Remove the connection cable of the F3SJ. (driver comes with F39-JJR15L) Remove the cap from the other F3SJ. Use the F39-JJR15L series connection cable for close contact to connect them. 1.

Secondary sensor 3 Secondary sensor 2 Secondary sensor 1 Primary sensor When attaching a cable or cap, tightly fasten the screws (M2, in 4 places, recommended torque: 0.15N m). Failure to do so may cause the cable/cap to come loose, leading to deterioration of the protective functions.
Page 76 Wiring/Installation When using the F39-JJR3W series connection cable for extension (sold separately) Remove the caps from the primary sensor. (driver comes with key cap for muting) Use the F39-JJR3W series connection cable for extension to connect them. When changing the connection distance between the F3SJ, connect a F39-JC B Cable with connectors on both ends (sold separately).
Page 77: Attaching External Indicators
Wiring/Installation Attaching External Indicators An external indicator can be connected and turned ON based on the operation of the F3SJ. Indicators can be attached to emitters and/or receivers. Example: • Indicate that the F3SJ is in lockout • Indicate that a machine is stopped (safety output is OFF) •...
Page 78: Output Operation
Wiring/Installation Output Operation The external indicator output 1 (on the receiver side) is configured as "safety output reverse output (ON when blocked)", while the external indicator output 2 (on the emitter side) is configured as "lockout output (ON during lockout)". When the muting function is used, both the emitter and receiver are configured as muting/override output (ON during muting and during override).

Wiring/Installation Wiring Wiring Precautions Double or reinforced insulation from hazardous voltage must be applied to all input and output lines. Failure to do so may result in electric shock. Connect the load between the output and 0V line. (PNP output) Connecting between the output and +24V line is dangerous because the operation mode is reversed to "ON when blocked".
Page 98: Power Supply Unit
"circuit protection such as a fuse is used to limit the current, which has a rating of 4.2A max." (24VDC power supply). Recommended power supply: OMRON S82K (15 W, 30 W, 50 W, 90 W type), S8VS (60 W type), S82J (10 W, 25 W, 50 W type) These products are approved by UL listing (UL508, class 2 power supply), CE marking compatible (EMC/Low Voltage Directive).
