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 zones.
Page 65: 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. Always refer to the relevant standards.
Page 66 Wiring/Installation In case of horizontal approach of a human body to F3SJ's detection zone Use K = 1,600mm/s and C = (1200 - 0.4 x H) in formula (1) for calculation.Note that C must not be less than 850mm. Safety distance (S) S = 1,600mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 1200 - 0.4 x H Hazard •S = Safety distance (mm)
Page 67: 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 68: 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.

Wiring/Installation Mounting Procedure Attach the top/bottom mounting brackets. Place top/bottom mounting bracket (2) in the screw hole at the top/bottom of the F3SJ, and fasten it using the included screw (M5x18). Insert the bracket's protrusion into the groove on the case when attaching.
Page 99 Wiring/Installation Attach the intermediate mounting brackets (for backside mounting). For backside mounting, first lightly attach intermediate mounting bracket (1) to the equipment, wall surface, etc. Then, attach intermediate brackets (1) and (4) to the bracket that was lightly attached to the case in step 2 above, and lightly tighten them using the included mounting screws (M4x25).
Page 100 Wiring/Installation Fasten to equipment. Attach top/bottom mounting bracket (1) to the equipment, wall surface, etc. If you are using an intermediate mounting bracket for side mounting, also attach the side-mounting intermediate bracket to the equipment, wall surface, etc. After the F3SJ is mounted, securely tighten the mounting screws (M3x10) that were lightly tightened in step 2 above.
Page 101: Adjustment Procedure
Wiring/Installation Adjustment Procedure Check the following points: - The optical surface of the emitter and receiver should be clean. - There should be no interrupting object in the detection zone of the F3SJ. Adjust the emitter's beams. Adjust the angle of the emitter while checking the incident light level indicator, and align the emitter so that it faces the center position where the incident light level indicator turns ON.
Page 102: Wiring
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. (PNPoutput) Connecting between the output and +24V line is dangerous because the operation mode is reversed to "ON when blocked".
