2-16-2.Factory Default Setting; 2-16-3.Setting With Dip Switch; 2-16-4.Setting With Configuration Tool - Omron F3SG RE Series User Manual

Detection capability gets larger when the reduced resolution function is used. When this
function is used, the safety distance calculation must be based on the increased detection
capability for this function. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches
the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
If detection capability may get larger and a human body may pass a detection zone to
reach a hazardous source, additional safety protection equipment must be installed such
as a safety fence.
The F3SG-RA must be installed, configured, and incorporated into a machine control
system by a sufficiently trained and qualified person. Unqualified person may not be able
to perform these operations properly, resulting in failure of human body detection and
heavy injury.
 Detection Capability
Detection capability for F3SG-RA differs based on the number of floating beams as shown below.
