Precautions For Correct Use - Omron F3SG RE Series Quick Installation Manual

1. Precautions for Correct Use

Observe the precautions described below to prevent operation failure, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on
product performance.
■
Storage conditions and installation environment
• Do not install, use, or store the F3SG-R for a long time at a temperature or humidity out of the specified
range.
• This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio interference, in which case the
Responsible Person may be required to take adequate measures to reduce interference.
■
Wiring and installation
• Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals.
• Be sure that there is nothing in the detection zone and the stable-state indicator is turned ON after power is
turned ON.
• Do not operate the control system until 2 seconds or more after turning ON the power of the F3SG-R.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply, make sure to ground the PE
terminal (protective earth terminal).
• Install the emitter and receiver to the same vertical direction.
Use brackets of specified quantities and locations according to the dimensions.
If the brackets described above are not used, ratings and performance cannot be met.
• Do not install the F3SG-R close to a device that generates high-frequency noise. Otherwise, take sufficient
blocking measures.
• Sharing the power supply with other devices may cause the F3SG-R to be affected by noise or voltage
drop. It is recommended that the F3SG-R use a power supply dedicated for safety components, not shared
with other devices.
■
Cleaning
• Do not use thinner, benzene, or acetone for cleaning. They affect the product's resin parts and paint on the
housing.
• Use a soft cloth which is dry or wetted with clean water for cleaning. Do not use solvents.
■
Object detection
• The F3SG-R cannot detect transparent and/or translucent objects.
