Make sure to install the F3S-TGR-CL system at a safe distance from the haz-
ardous part of the equipment. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a
person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serous injury.
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 sen-
sors so that part of the person is always present in the detection zone when
working in a machine's hazardous areas. If a person is able to step into the
hazardous area of a machine and remain behind the F3S-TGR-CL system's
detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that prevents
the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Install the interlock switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire
hazardous area and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous
area.
The F3S-TGR-CL system cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the
hazardous zone. Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device.
You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operat-
ing.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is
being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting
function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious
injury.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and
override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers
from all the operating positions.
A sufficiently trained and qualified person must properly configure muting
related timings for its specific application, and that person must have respon-
sibility for settings, especially when the muting time limit is infinite.
Use two independent input devices for muting inputs.
You must install F3S-TGR-CL system muting sensor, and physical barrier, and
configure time settings for muting so that an operator can not enter hazardous
zone.
Install the switch that activates the override in a location that provides a clear
view of the entire hazardous area and where it cannot be activated from within
the hazardous area. Make sure that nobody is in the hazardous area before
activating the override function.
Do not place fluorescent and/or incandescent lights within the effective aper-
ture angle of the receiver, as it may influence the F3S-TGR-CL system under
certain circumstances.
Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by any reflective surfaces.
Failure to do so may hinder detection, resulting in serious injury.
When using more than 1 set of F3S-TGR-CL system, install them so that
mutual interference does not occur, such as by configuring series connections
or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.
