F3SJ-E/B
iv User’s Manual
Introduction
For installation
Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ-E/B after installation to verify that the F3SJ-E/B
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.
Make sure to install the F3SJ-E/B at the safe distance from the hazardous part of the equipment.
Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in
serious injury.
Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached by a
person that passes through the sensor's detection zone. Install the sensors so that part of the
person is always present in the detection zone when working in a machine's hazardous zones,
eliminating areas where the sensors do not reach. If a person is able step into the hazardous
zone of a machine and remain behind the F3SJ-E/B's detection zone, configure the system with
an interlock function that prevents the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous
zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone.
The F3SJ-E/B cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the hazardous zone. Install
protective cover(s) or fence(s).
Install the F3SJ-E/B so that it is not affected by a reflective surface. Failure to do so may hinder
detection, resulting in serious injury. Details on installation distance from the reflective surface,
see "Distance from Reflective Surfaces" on page 45.
When using more than one set of F3SJ-E/Bs, install them so that mutual interference does not
occur, such as by configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adjacent
sets.
Make sure that the F3SJ-E/B is securely mounted and its cables and connectors are properly
secured.
Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration as shown below.
Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-
degree angle.

F3SJ-E/B
User’s Manual v
Introduction
Perform an inspection for all F3SJ-E/B as described in "Chapter 5 Checklists".
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is being allowed to be
passed through the detection zone and a person. If the muting function is activated by the
detection of a person, it may result in serious injury.
Use independent two input devices for muting inputs.
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must ensure
safety using other method when these functions are operating.
Install the switch that uses hold-to-run device such as a spring-return key switch and is installed
in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous zone and where it cannot be
activated from within the hazardous zone. Make sure that nobody is in the hazardous zone
before activating the override function.
For wiring
Connect the load between the output and 0 V line (PNP output). Connecting the load between
the output and +24 V line will result in a dangerous condition because operation is reversed to
"ON when blocked".
Do not short-circuit the output line to the +24 V line. Otherwise, the output is always ON. Also,
the 0 V of the power supply must be grounded so that output does not turn ON due to grounding
of the output line.
Configure the system by using the optimal number of safety outputs that satisfy the requirements
of the necessary safety category.
Do not connect each line of F3SJ-E/B to a DC power supply of more than 24 VDC+20%. Also, do
not connect to an AC power supply. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or breakdown of
the device.
Make sure to perform wiring while the power supply is OFF.
Do not use the auxiliary output for safety applications. Human body may not be detected when
F3SJ-B fails, resulting in serious injury.

 Self-test Function
Easy Type 

If an error is found in the self-test, the F3SJ-E/B enters lockout state, keeps the safety output in the
OFF state, and indicates the error at the same time.
 Self-test details
The self-test detects the types of errors described below.
Emitter
• Failure of emitter element or circuit
• CPU failure
• Disconnected or short-circuited cable
Receiver
• Abnormal external power supply voltage
• Failure of internal power supply circuit
• Failure of receiver element or detection circuit
• CPU failure
• Memory failure
• Incidence of disturbance light
• Failure of safety output circuit
• Disconnected or short-circuited cable
 Waveform of safety outputs

When the F3SJ-E/B is receiving light, the safety outputs cyclically turn OFF as shown below to test the
output circuit. When this OFF signal is fed back, the output circuit is diagnosed as normal. If the output
signal does not include an OFF pulse signal due to short-circuit, etc, the receiver diagnoses a failure in
the output circuit or wiring, and it enters lockout state.

 Lockout Reset Function

Easy Type 
When the cause of the lockout is removed, you can release the lockout by using either of the following
Chapter
methods. *1
•Cycle the power back ON
•Reset input
2
Resetting methods differ as follows depending on the system used.

System Lockout reset

Apply a voltage of Vs-3 V to Vs to the test input line (black) for 1 s or longer, and then
Easy Type
open the input line or apply 0 V to 1/2 Vs again.
Basic Type (basic system) Apply a voltage of Vs-3 V to Vs to the reset input line (yellow) for 1 s or longer, and

and then turn ON the power again.
F3SJ-E/B
20 User’s Manual
 Interlock Function
Easy Type
The F3SJ-B turns the safety outputs OFF when its power is turned on or its beam is interrupted and
Chapter
holds this state until reset input is applied. This state is called "interlock".
Two methods can be used to reset the interlock state: "auto reset" and "manual reset." "Auto reset"
automatically turns safety outputs ON when the interrupting object is removed. "Manual reset" keeps
2
safety outputs OFF until a reset signal is provided, if the interrupting object is removed.
 Auto reset
When the interrupting object is removed from the detection zone, the safety outputs automatically turn
ON. Auto reset is used on machines where a worker is not able to enter the area between the
detection zone and the hazardous part of the machine.
- Wiring for auto reset mode and external device monitoring function p.15
- Wiring for auto reset mode and deactivated external device monitoring function p.16
 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 (EN 1037).

Interlock state Interlock Release
There are two types of interlock as follows:

•The power is turned ON (start interlock).This is useful if you want to keep the machine stopped until
start inspection is completed after the power is turned ON.
•The F3SJ-B is blocked (restart interlock). After the F3SJ-B is blocked and the machine stops, manual
reset is effective when you want to restart the machine after an operator confirms a safe condition.
- Wiring when using manual reset mode and external device monitoring p.14
- Wiring for manual reset mode and deactivated external device monitoring function p.15
To reset:
1. After applying a voltage of Vs-3 V to Vs for 300 ms or longer to the reset input line, set it to open or to
0 to 1/2 VsV.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire
hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone.

 External Device Monitoring Function

Easy Type
The external device monitoring function cannot be used when the muting system is used.
Chapter
This function detects malfunctions, such as welding, in external relays (or contactors) that control the
hazardous part of a machine.
This function constantly monitors that a specified voltage is applied to the receiver's external device
2
monitoring input line, and the system enters lockout state when an error occurs. The relay's
operational delay can be up to 0.3 s without being evaluated as an error.
For example, if the normally closed N.C. contact does not close within 0.3 s after the safety outputs
turn from ON to OFF, and a specified voltage is not applied to the external device monitoring line , it is
evaluated as an error and the system enters a lockout state.
To utilize this function properly, use safety relays and contactors that have force guided or
mechanically linked contact structure.
 Wiring
Perform wiring so that a voltage of Vs-3 V to Vs is applied to the external device monitoring line via the
external relay's normally closed N.C. contact.
When external device monitoring is not being used, apply the auxiliary output to the external device
monitoring input.

The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must
ensure safety using other method when these functions are operating.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is being
allowed to be passed through the detection zone and a person.
If the muting function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious
injury.

(Case color: Black)
- When mounting a Cap or Muting Key Cap, securely tighten the screw (M3 cross-shaped) with the recommended
torque of 0.54 N•m. Failure to do so may cause the cap to come loose, leading to deterioration of the protective
functions.
- Attaching/detaching of a Cap or Muting Key Cap may cause misalignment of rubber grommet in a connector
assembly. Press the grommet to the bottom of the connector and attach the connector to the F3SJ-B again.
<Muting sensor>
The muting sensor is the sensor that is the trigger for temporarily disabling the safety functions of the
F3SJ-B. You can use a photoelectric switch of transmission type or reflective type proximity switch, or
limit switch. (Recommendation: OMRON E3Z series, E2E series (3-wire type), D4N series) Use a 3-
wire type PNP output or N.O. type contact. Two-wire type sensor cannot be used.
<Muting lamp>
You may need a muting lamp depending on your application or as a result of a risk assessment. Before
determining the use of the muting lamp, check laws and regulations of the country or region where the
F3SJ-B is used and make sure of full compliance with them.
The muting lamp can be connected to the auxiliary output.

 Using muting function

Turning muting inputs 1 and 2 ON sequentially enables muting function.
When a muting lamp is required as a result of a risk assessment, connect a muting lamp to the
auxiliary output line.
<Start conditions>
If both of the following conditions are present for the F3SJ-B, muting is activated.
Chapter
1. No interrupting object is found in the F3SJ-B's detection zone, and safety output is ON.
2. After muting input 1 is turned ON (connected to Vs-3 V to Vs), muting input 2 is turned ON
2
(connected to Vs-3 V to Vs) within the muting input time limit of T1min to T1max (0.1 to 3 s).
Muting function can be enabled in up to 0.15 s after condition 2 is satisfied. When condition 1 is
satisfied but time condition of 2 is not, a muting sequence error occurs and emitter's muting error
indicator blinks. However, when there is a muting error, the F3SJ-B safety function operates and
normal operation continues.
For muting error indication, see page 123 .
Muting error can be released by any of following conditions:

1. Correct muting initial condition continues for 0.1 s or longer. *1
2. Power cycle under muting input 1 and 2 OFF state.
*1. The correct initial muting condition is shown as follows.

• Safety output of the light curtain is ON.
• Muting input 1 and 2 are OFF.
<End conditions>
If either of the following conditions is satisfied, the muting state is released.
1. Muting input 1 or 2 turns OFF for T3 (0.1 s) or longer.

 Installation standard for muting sensors

•Set the muting sensors so that they can detect all of the passing detection objects (palettes,
automobiles, etc.). Do not install in a position so that only the front or rear end of the detection object
is detected.
•Set the muting sensors so that they detect the objects even when they are loaded on palettes or other
transport devices.
•Also, install the F3SJ-B and muting sensors so that each object passes through all muting sensors
before the next object arrives at the first muting sensor. Also, install all F3SJ-Bs and muting sensors
so that no person is able to accidentally enter the hazardous zone while the muting function is
enabled.
•If objects' speeds can vary, the allocation of muting sensors must be taken into consideration.
•Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is being allowed to be
passed through the detection zone and a person.

 Detection Zone and Approach
Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached
by passing through the sensor's detection zone. Install the sensors so that part of the
person is always present in the detection zone and no blind spot is generated when
working in a machine's hazardous zones.
If a person is able to step into the hazardous zone of a machine and remain behind the
F3SJ-E/B's detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that prevents
Chapter
the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot be stopped by electrical control. For
3
example, do not use it for a pressing machine that uses a full-rotation clutch. Otherwise, the
machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
To use the F3SJ-E/B in PSDI mode (Reinitiation of cyclic operation by the protective equipment),
you must configure an appropriate circuit between the F3SJ-E/B and the machine. For details
about PSDI, refer to OSHA 1910.217, IEC 61496-1, and other relevant standards and regulations.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire
hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone.
Do not use the F3SJ-E/B in environments where flammable or explosive gases are
present. Doing so may cause an explosion.
The F3SJ-E/B cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the hazardous zone.
Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).
Make sure that the F3SJ-E/B is securely mounted and its cables and connectors are
properly secured.

 Safety Distance
The safety distance is the distance that must be set between the F3SJ-E/B and a machine's hazardous
part to stop the hazardous part before a person or object reaches it. The safety distance varies
according to the standards of each country and the individual specifications of each machine. Always
refer to relevant standards.
Make sure to secure the safety distance (S) between the F3SJ-E/B and the hazardous
part. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part,
resulting in serious injury.
Chapter
The response time of a machine is the time period from when the machine receives a stop signal to when the
3
machine's hazardous part stops. Measure the response time on the actual system. Also, periodically check to make
sure that the response time of the machine has not changed.
 How to calculate the safety distance specified by International Standard ISO 13855
(European Standard EN ISO 13855) (Reference)
If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ-E/B perpendicularly
S = K x T + C . . . Formula (1) Safety distance (S)
•S: Safety distance
•K: Approach speed to the detection zone
•T: Total response time of the machine and F3SJ-E/B
•C: Additional distance calculated by the detection capability Hazard
of the F3SJ-E/B
<System that has detection capability of 30 mm or less>

Use K = 2,000 mm/s and C = 8 x (d - 14 mm) in formula (1)
for the calculation.
S = 2,000 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 8 x (d - 14 mm)
•S = Safety distance (mm)
•Tm = Machine's response time (s)
•Ts = Response time of the F3SJ-E/B from ON to OFF (s)
•d = Detection capability of the F3SJ-E/B (mm)
[Calculation example]
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.015 s, and d = 25 mm:
S = 2,000 mm/s x (0.05 s + 0.015 s) + 8 x (25 mm - 14 mm)
= 218 mm
If the result is less than 100 mm, use S = 100 mm.
If the result exceeds 500 mm, use the following formula where K = 1,600 mm/s.
S = 1,600 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 8 x (d - 14 mm) . . . Formula (2)
If the result of this formula (2) is less than 500 mm, use S = 500 mm.

Note 1.Upper edge of the detection zone below 900 mm is not included since they do not offer
sufficient protection against circumventing or stepping over.
Note 2.When determining the values of this table, it shall not be interpolated. If the known values a, b
or Cro are between two values of this table, the greater safety distance shall be used.
•T: Tm + Ts (s)
•Tm: Machine's response time (s)
•Ts: Response time of the F3SJ-E/B from ON to OFF (s)
• a: Height of machine hazardous zone (mm)
• b: Height of upper edge of detection zone (mm)
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.01 s, a = 1,400 mm, b = 1,500 m:

From the table above, Cro = 850 mm. Since b is between 1,400 mm and 1,600 mm, b = 1,400 mm
which has the greater Cro value, shall be used.
S = 2,000 mm/s × (0.05 s + 0.01 s) + 850 mm
= 970 mm
Since 970 mm is greater than 500 mm, use K = 1,600 mm/s and recalculate it.
S = 1,600 m/s × (0.05 s + 0.01 s) + 850 mm
= 946 mm
Compare S = 946 mm with the calculation in "If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ
perpendicularly", and choose the larger value as the safety distance.
For the system with a detection capability of 40 mm max., the safety distance S is 946 mm since this
is larger than S = 120 mm calculated in the calculation example of "If a person approaches the
detection zone of the F3SJ perpendicularly".
For the system with a detection capability larger than 40 mm, the safety distance S is 946 mm since
this is the same value as S = 946 mm calculated in the calculation example of "If a person
approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ perpendicularly".

User’s Manual 43
Wiring/Installation
If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ-E/B horizontally
Use K = 1,600 mm/s and C = (1200 - 0.4 x H) in

formula (1) for calculation.
Note that C must not be less than 850 mm.
Safety distance (S)
S = 1,600 mm/s x (Tm + Ts) + 1200 - 0.4 x H Hazard
•S = Safety distance (mm)
•Tm = Machine's response time (s)
•Ts = Response time of the F3SJ-E/B from ON to
H
OFF (s)
Chapter
•H = Installation height of the F3SJ-E/B (mm)

Note that H must satisfy:
1000 >= H >= 15 (d - 50 mm)
3
Also, you must include a hazardous condition under which a person may go carelessly through under
a detection zone if it exceeds 300 mm (200 mm for other purpose than industrial use) into risk
assessment.
When Tm = 0.05 s, Ts = 0.015 s, d = 25 mm, and H = 500 mm:
S = 1,600 mm/s x (0.05 s + 0.015 s) + 1200 - 0.4 x 500 mm
= 1,104 mm
 How to calculate the safety distance specified by American Standard ANSI B11.19
(reference)
If a person approaches the detection zone of the F3SJ-E/B perpendicularly, calculate the safety
distance as shown below.
S = K x (Ts + Tc + Tr + Tbm) + Dpf
•K: Approach speed to the detection zone (the value recommended by OSHA standard is 1,600 mm/s)
Approach speed K is not specified in the ANSI B.11.19 standard. To determine the value of K to apply,
consider all factors, including the operator's physical ability.
•Ts = Machine's stopping time (s)
•Ts = Response time of the F3SJ-E/B from ON to OFF (s)
•Tc = Machine control circuit's maximum response time required to activate its brake (s)
•Tbm = Additional time (s)
If a machine has a brake monitor, "Tbm = Brake monitor setting time - (Ts + Tc)". If it has no brake
monitor, we recommend using 20% or more of (Ts + Tc) as additional time.
•Dpf = Additional distance
According to ANSI's formula, Dpf is calculated as shown below:
Dpf = 3.4 x (d - 7.0): Where d is the detection capability of the F3SJ-E/B (unit: mm)
When K = 1,600 mm/s, Ts + Tc = 0.06 s, brake monitor setting time = 0.1 s,
Tr = 0.015 s, and d = 25 mm:
Tbm = 0.1 - 0.06 = 0.04 s
Dpf = 3.4 x (25 - 7) = 61.2 mm
S = 1,600 mm/s x (0.06 s + 0.015 s + 0.04 s) + 61.2 mm = 245.2 mm

 Mutual Interference Prevention

Mutual interference is prevented in up to three sets, using interference light detection and cycle shift
algorithm.
If four or more sets of F3SJ-E/Bs are installed, arrange them so that mutual interference does not
occur. If two sets are installed near each other, reflection from the surface of the F3SJ-E/B may cause
mutual interference. When mutual interference occurs, the safety outputs are turned OFF in a moment
or the F3SJ-E/B enters lockout state.
Combining countermeasures 1 to 3 shown below is effective.

 Wiring Precautions
Apply double or enhanced insulation from hazardous voltage to all input and output lines.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Connect the load between the output and 0 V line (PNP output).
Chapter
Connecting the load between the output and +24 V line will result in a dangerous
condition because operation is reversed to "ON when blocked".
3
Do not short-circuit the output line to the +24 V line.

Wiring
Otherwise, the output is always ON. Also, the 0 V of the power supply must be grounded
so that output does not turn ON due to grounding of the output line.
Configure the system by using the optimal number of safety outputs that satisfy the
requirements of the necessary safety category.
Do not connect each line of F3SJ-E/B to a DC power supply higher than 24 V+20%. Also,
do not connect to an AC power supply.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or breakdown of the device.

comply to the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive.)
(Remarks)
To prevent a fire, the secondary circuit of the power supply must satisfy either of the following conditions in
accordance with UL 508:
•As with secondary winding of isolation transformer, there must be a limited current voltage circuit to
which isolated power supply provides power, and the "current is limited to 8 A max. (including short-
circuit)" or "circuit protection such as a fuse is used to limit the current, which has a rating of 4.2 A
max." (24 VDC power supply).
Recommended power supply: OMRON S8VS (30 W, 60 W)
These products are approved by UL listing (UL 508, class 2 power supply), CE marking compatible
(EMC/Low Voltage Directive).
•Class 2 power supply unit complying with UL 1310, or a circuit using class 2 transformer complying
with UL 1585 as a power supply.

Description Cause and measures

The power supply voltage may have dropped temporarily when the F3SJ-E/B is in operation.
Check for temporary power supply voltage drop (by about 12 VDC) by the influence of the
inductive load, etc.
If the exclusive power supply is not used, check the power consumption of other connected
devices for enough capacity.
Effect of noise may be excessive.
If other devices using the same power supply generate noise, do not share the same power supply
with other devices, and use a separate power supply exclusively for the safety components.
The inductive noise tends to be induced especially if the power supply line of the machine guarded
and the power supply line of the F3SJ-E/B are arranged in parallel.
Safety output error due to power Arrange the exclusive power supply near the F3SJ-E/B or lay the power supply line of the F3SJ-E/
supply voltage or noise B away from the power supply line of the machine guarded.
If the power supply for the F3SJ-E/B is located near the power supply of the machine guarded and
it uses the same ground, it is subject to the influence of common mode noise from the ground.
Separate the grounding point or use it as the exclusive ground.
Power supply voltage may be outside the rated range.
Connect the F3SJ-E/B to a 24 VDC±20% power supply voltage.
Voltage fluctuation may have occurred due to insufficient power supply capacity.
Replace the power supply with one that has a larger capacity.
Instantaneous break or instantaneous stop may have occurred due to power sharing with other
