Install the F3SL system so as not to be affected by the reflection from the reflective surface. Failure to do so may cause the system undetectable, resulting in severe operator injury.

F3SL. If the F3SL is used as a safety device, the user has the responsibility to insure that applicable national, fed- eral and local safety rules, codes and regulations are satisfied. In addition, the user should insure that all machine operators, maintenance personnel, electricians, supervisors, etc.
“redundant” microprocessor design combined with extensive fault mode and effects analysis provides safe, control reliable operation. A F3SL system consists of one emitter and one receiver. No interconnecting cables or separate control enclo- sure are required. 2-2 Technical Specifications...

4-1-1 Machine Run The two receiver safety outputs are in the ON state, the green machine run indicator is lit, and the auxiliary output is in a state consistent with its configuration. See Section 7-2 on page 13. The protected machine is allowed to operate.
Operating mode is selected by setting positions 1 and 2 of Switches A and B, located inside the receiver end cap. Refer to Table 4-1. Any mismatch between the settings of Switch A and B will result in an alarm condition.
Up to two channels can be disabled at any location in the detection zone (except for the synchronization beam) without the F3SL system going to the machine stop state. The disabled channels are not fixed at a single location but “float” through the detection zone.
The safety distance must be increased. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. To prevent a hand or other objects to enter the channel-selected part, provide a physical guard such as a fence. When both Exact Channel Select and Floating Blanking are selected, the floating channels are allowed to occur anywhere within the detection zone (except for the beam nearest the cable), even within the area selected by Exact Channel Select.
Exact Channel Select is activated by setting position 4 of Switches A and B, located inside the receivere end cap. Refer Figure 3-1 and Table 5-5. Any mismatch between the settings of Switches A and B will result in a alarm condition.
5-5 Activating Floating Blanking Floating Blanking (either one- or two- beam) is activated by setting positions 5 and 6 of Switches A and B located inside the receiver end cap. Refer to Figure 3-1 and Table 5-5. Any mismatch between the settings of Switch A and B will result in an alarm condition.
MPCE monitoring is activated by setting position 3 of Switches A and B located inside the receiver end cap. Re- fer to Figure 3-1 and Table 6-1. Any mismatch between the settings of Switches A and B will result in an alarm condition.
24 VDC. In the machine stop state, the outputs are not electrically conducting. Note: The safety outputs must have a minimum load or the F3SL system will enter a alarm condition. For the purpose of testing prior to final installation, this load can be supplied by a 10K ohm resistor (included in documentation kit).
A F3SL system must be mounted far enough from the machine danger zone so the machine will stop before a hand or other body part reaches the hazardous area. This distance is called the safety distance. It is a calculated number based on a formula.
100 mm. If S is found to be greater than 500 mm using the formula above, then the formula below can be used. In this case the minimum value of S shall not be less than 500 mm.

Note: If the guarded machine is not equipped with a stop time performance monitor, a percentage increase fac- tor should be applied to the stop time of the machine to allow for braking system wear. Contact your ma- chine manufacturer for information.
A reflective surface adjacent to the detection zone can deflect the optical beam and may cause an obstruction in the zone not to be detected. (See Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3.) The reflective surface may be part of the ma- chine, mechanical guard or workpiece.

9-2-1 Additional Guarding Areas of access to the point of hazardous operation not guarded by the F3SL system must be protected by suit- able means such as a fixed barrier guard, an interlocked guard or a safety mat. See Figure 9-6.
Switches to configure the F3SL system operating features are located inside the end cap of the receiver and Exact Channel Select is programmed via a push button accessed from the front of this end cap. If it will be nec- essary to change the configuration or Exact Channel Select program during operation, access to this cap must be maintained.
In this case, the guarded machine must only be restarted using a switch located outside and with a full view of the area of hazardous motion. Operation of the F3SL system in the start/restart interlock operating mode is suit- able for perimeter guarding.
Note 2: If the MPCE monitor function is not used, short circuit the MPCE monitor line (pink) to 0V power supply. Note 3: When the load is not connected to control outputs 1 and 2, this system will enter error state and not operate properly.
10-2 Connection with OMRON safety relay unit Model G9SA When using in combination with Model G9SA-301, nullify the start/restart interlock and the external relay (MPCE) monitoring features which are integrated in F3SL, before using the feature equivalent to Model G9SA-301.
