Page 101: Mounting Procedure
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 (M5x20). Insert the bracket's protrusion into the groove on the case when attaching.
Page 102 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 103 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 104: 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 105: 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".
Page 106: Power Supply Unit
"circuit protection such as a fuse is used to limit the current, which has a rating of 4.2A max." (24VDC power supply). Recommended power supply: OMRON S82K (15 W, 30 W, 50 W, 90 W type), S8VS (60 W type), S82J (10 W, 25 W, 50 W type) These products are approved by UL listing (UL508, class 2 power supply), CE marking compatible (EMC/Low Voltage Directive).
