(Grey) Communication line (+) (Pink) Communication line (-) : External test switch (connect to 0V if a switch is not required) : Lockout reset switch (connect to 24V if a switch is not required) : Load or PLC, etc.
System Configuration and Functions Ref.: Minimum Wiring Required to Check the Operation of the F3SJ (Wiring for auto reset mode and deactivated external device monitoring function) (Grey) Communication line (+) (Pink) Communication line (-) +24V DC Power supply Interlock Function The F3SJ turns the safety outputs OFF when its power is turned on or its beam is interrupted and holds this state until reset input is applied.
Page 40
System Configuration and Functions Manual Reset When a reset input is given while no interrupting object exists in a detection zone, the safety outputs turn ON. This allows the machine to be manually reset using a reset switch after ensuring safety, preventing unexpected startup (EN1037).
System Configuration and Functions External Test Function This function forcibly stops the emission using an external signal. It can be used to verify that a safety system should properly stop when F3SJ is interrupted. To stop the emission, apply 9 to 24V to the emitter's test input line. The voltage must be applied for a period 4 times that of Toff or longer.

Wiring/Installation Mutual Interference Prevention Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration. Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90- degree angle. When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual interference does not occur, such as by configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adja- cent sets.
Page 112
Wiring/Installation No Connection Mutual interference is prevented in up to 3 sets, using interference light avoidance algorithm. If 4 or more sets of F3SJ are installed and are not connected to each other, arrange them so that mutual interference does not occur. If 2 sets are installed near each other, reflection from the surface of the F3SJ may cause mutual interference.

Wiring/Installation Series Connection From 2 to 4 sets of F3SJ can be series-connected. Series connection allows them to be used as a multi-beam safety sensor, requiring only 1 set to be wired to a controller and preventing mutual interference. If any 1 set of series-connected F3SJ is blocked, both of the safety outputs turn OFF. The indication LED for each F3SJ turns ON separately.

Page 137
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 138
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.
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.
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".
Wiring/Installation Power Supply Unit For the F3SJ to comply with IEC 61496-1 and UL 508, the DC power supply unit must sat- isfy all of the following conditions: ± •Must be within the rated power voltage (24V DC 20%) •Must have tolerance against the total rated current of devices if it is connected to multiple devices •Must comply with EMC directives (industrial environment)
Wiring/Installation Wiring Procedure Connect an emitter cable (F39-JD-L, grey, sold separately) to the emitter's connection cable (grey). Connect a receiver cable (F39-JD-D, black, sold separately) to the receiver's connection cable (black). Connect the 0V line of the power supply directly to the protective earth (PE). To ensure proper wiring, check that the color of the cable matches the color of the connector's resin cover (emitter: grey, receiver: black).

Checklists Pre-Operation Checklists Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ after installation to verify that the F3SJ 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 163
Checklists A secondary sensor farthest from its power supply has either of the followings: - Cap - Key cap for muting - Muting lamp (set of lamp and cable) Neither connector, cap, or bracket must be loose. Auxiliary outputs 1 and 2, and external indicator outputs 1 and 2 must not be used as safety output. Power supply's 0V must be grounded.
Page 164
Checklists Checking that Hazardous Parts Stop While the Machine Operates The hazardous parts stop immediately when a checkup detection object interrupted any beam at 3 positions: "directly in front of the emitter", "directly in front of the receiver", and "between the emitter and receiver".
Checklists Maintenance Checklists Perform daily and 6-month inspection for the F3SJ. Otherwise, the system may fail to work prop- erly, 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 166
Checklists When a checkup detection object is inserted along the beam center line mark ( mark ) so that it should interrupt beams, the sensor must be under interrupted status (all 5 incident light level indicators turn OFF, and the OFF output indicator turns ON). Detection must be checked for 3 points shown below: - Right in front of an emitter (A) - Right in front of a receiver (B)
Appendix Troubleshooting Lockout State If F3SJ detects any failure, it keeps safety output OFF and transitions to lockout state.
