Original instructions Introduction Thank you for purchasing the F3SJ-B Series Safety Light Curtain (hereinafter referred to as the "F3SJ-B"). This is the instruction manual describing the use of F3SJ-B. Always heed the following points when using the F3SJ-B: Be sure to have F3SJ-B be handled by a "Responsible Person" who is well aware of and familiar with the machine to be installed.

Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron's test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements.
Precautions on Safety Regarding the alert symbols and meanings used for the safe uses In order to use the F3SJ-B safely, the precautions listed in this manual indicated by alert symbols and descriptions must be followed. Failure to follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation.
Page 7
For installation 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. Make sure to install the F3SJ-B at the safe distance from the hazardous part of the equipment.
Page 8
Perform an inspection for all F3SJ-B as described in "Chapter 5 Checklists". For wiring Connect the load between the output and +24 V line (NPN output). Connecting the load between the output and 0 V line will result in a dangerous condition because operation is reversed to "ON when blocked".
Page 9
Other To use the F3SJ-B in PSDI mode (Reinitiation of cyclic operation by the protective equipment), you must configure an appropriate circuit between the F3SJ-B and the machine. For details about PSDI, refer to OSHA1910.217, IEC 61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
F3SJ-B from the spatter. • PC Setting Support Software "SD Manager" (F39-GWUM) and Setting Console (F39-MC21) are available only for F3SJ-A series. Do not use these setting tools for F3SJ-B series. Precautions for Correct Use Observe the precautions described below to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on product performance.

•When extending the communication line with a cable (twisted-pair wire) other than the dedicated cable (F39-JD), use a cable with the same or superior specifications. Connect the shield to the 0V line. Cable specification (extension cable) p.69 •Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals. •Be sure that there is nothing in the detection zone and the stable-state indicator is turned ON after power is turned ON.

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, set open or apply voltage of 1/2 Vs to Vs to the test input line of the emitter.
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 1/2 Vs to Vs to the reset input line (yellow) for 1 s or longer, and then apply a voltage of 0 V to 3 V 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.

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 and no blind spot is generated when working in a machine's hazardous zones.
Wiring/Installation Safety Distance The safety distance is the distance that must be set between the F3SJ-B 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 relevant standards.
Page 34
Wiring/Installation Possible circumventing by reaching over the detection zone If access to the hazardous zone by reaching over the detection zone of vertically mounted F3SJ-E/B cannot be excluded, the height and the safety distance, S, of the F3SJ-E/B shall be determined. S shall be determined by comparison of the calculated values in Detection Zone Orthogonal to Direction of Approach.

Wiring/Installation Distance from Reflective Surfaces Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by reflection from a glossy surface. 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.

Wiring/Installation Series Connection Up to three sets of F3SJ-Bs can be series-connected. Series connection allows them to be used as a safety light curtain, requiring only one set to be wired to a controller and preventing mutual interference. If any one set of series-connected F3SJ-B is blocked, both of the safety outputs turn OFF. The indication LED for each F3SJ-B turns ON separately.

Wiring/Installation Properly connect an emitter to another emitter, and a receiver to another receiver, as shown below. Do not face different models of emitters Do not series-connect an emitter and receiver. They will enter lockout state. and receivers toward each other. They will enter lockout state or will be unable to detect objects.
Wiring/Installation Connection Procedure Remove the caps from the primary sensor. Loosen the screw (M3 cross-shaped) to remove the cap. Use the F39-JBR2W series connection cable for extension to connect them. When changing the connection distance between the F3SJ-Bs, connect a F39-JDB double-ended connector cable (sold separately).

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 93
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 95
Checklists The test rod is detected when it is moved around in the detection zone as shown in the diagram below. In other words, when a test rod is inserted into the detection zone, the stable-state indicators (STB) turn off and the ON/OFF-state indicators turn red. Start Stop Neither connector nor bracket must be loose.
