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-RR. Failure to follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation. The following word and symbols are used in this document.
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-RR in PSDI mode (initiation of cycle operations by a presence sensing device), you must configure an appropriate circuit between F3SG-RR 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-RR, 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 software, SD Manager 2 (hereinafter referred to as "Configuration Tool") may increase risks. Make sure the Responsible Person conduct a thorough risk assessment analysis before managing and changing the settings.
