Page 7: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions Indications and Meanings for Safe Use The precautions listed in this document indicated by alert symbols and statements must be followed for the safe use of the F3SG-R. Failure to follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation.Thoroughly read this manual and understand the installation procedures, operation check procedures, and maintenance procedures before using F3SG-R.
Page 8 For machines Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot be stopped by electrical control. For example, do not use it for a pressing machine that uses full-rotation clutch. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury. To use F3SG-R in PSDI mode (initiation of cycle operations by a presence sensing device), you must configure an appropriate circuit between F3SG-R and the machine.For details about PSDI, refer to OSHA1910.217, IEC61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
Page 9 Detection capability gets larger when fixed/floating blanking or reduced resolution function is used. When these functions are used, the safety distance calculation must be based on the increased detection capability for these functions. Otherwise the machine may not stop before a person reaches to the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Page 10 Make sure to connect an override cancel switch to the Reset line when using the override function. Otherwise the override state may not be released by the override cancel switch, resulting in serious injury. When muting error occurs with workpiece blocking the F3SG-R, there are two methods to forcibly remove the workpiece.
Page 11 For wiring When using the PNP output, connect the load between the output and 0 V line. When using the NPN output, connect the load between the output and +24 VDC line. Connecting the load between the output and a different power supply line from the above will result in a dangerous condition because the operation mode of safety output is reversed to "Dark-ON".
Page 12 Settings Some settings of functions or the setting recovery function configurable with the Configuration Tool may increase risks. Make sure the Responsible Person conduct a thorough risk assessment analysis before managing and changing the settings. Unintended changes to the settings may cause a person go to undetected, resulting in serious injury.

Page 241 Checklists When 2 or more F3SG-R systems are used, they are in cascade connection or prevented from mutual interference with each other. On a secondary sensor farthest from its power supply, either of the following is attached: - End Cap - Lamp (F39-LP and F39-BTLP, sold separately) - Bluetooth Communication Unit (F39-BT, sold separately)
Page 242 Checklists state, the ON/OFF indicator remains red. The RESET input turns the ON/OFF indicator to green. When muting function is used, minimum muting time limit required must be set. When muting function's operation mode is exit-only muting mode, minimum muting end wait time required must be set.
Page 243 Checklists 6-2. Maintenance Checklists Perform daily and 6-month inspection for the F3SG-R. 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 244 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 indicator turns OFF and the ON/OFF indicator turns red. When fixed blanking function is used, you must ensure that all blanked zones in the detection zone are covered by a hard barrier guard and there must be no zone in the detection zone where the test rod goes undetected.
Page 245 Checklists should not occur when a human body enters a hazardous zone of a machine. When muting function setting is changed, a muting sensor must consist of 2 independent devices. When the configuration of the cascade connection is changed, either of the following is attached on a secondary sensor farthest from its power supply: - End Cap - Lamp (F39-LP and F39-BTLP, sold separately)
