INSTRUCTION SHEET

8. Remove the used battery out of the product as soon as possible.

  Also, if the product is not used for a long period of time, remove the

  battery out of the product.

9. Be careful to avoid pinching your hand when installing the product.

10. Dispose of this product in accordance with local and national 

  disposal regulations.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORRECT USE

1. Do not use the product in the following location:

  Places exposed to water.

2. Battery

• Do not mix batteries with new and old, different brands or different types.

• Do not charge, short circuit, disassemble, heat or throw into fire.

• In case of accidental ingestion of batteries, immediately consult a doctor for

 

the necessary treatment.

• The battery contains strong alkaline solution or electrolyte solution composed 

 

of organic solvents. If it gets into your eyes, it may cause blindness.

 

Wash your eyes with lots of water and immediately consult your doctor.

3. Battery Handling

• When replacing batteries, be sure to check the switch of the product is turned OFF. 

• When the product is not in use, turn OFF the switch.

4. Cleaning

• Avoid the use of thinner, benzine, acetone, and kerosene. Use of these solvents will 

  melt the surface of the product.

LASER SAFETY

■ 

Precautions on Handling

•  F39-PTG radiates visible-light laser. Do not directly look into beam.

Terminate the optical path of the product.

Termination material with less reflective and lusterless painted surface is the best choice.

When a specular reflector exists on an optical path, block beam to the reflective optical 

path. In the case of releasing beam, avoid the optical path to be at eye level.

■ 

Laser safety regulations vary according to the country where 

LED devices are used.

 

1. Use in Japan

JIS C 6802 regulates safety protection measures to the user according to classes 

of laser products. 

F39-PTG is classified as Class 2.

2. Use in the United States

This product is subject to FDA (Food and Drug Administration) laser regulations. 

For details on exports to foreign countries, contact OMRON representative.

3. Use in countries other than Japan and United States

•  For areas other than Japan and United States, 

  replace warning labels with the supplied English 

 labels.

•  For used in Europe, regulations differ due to 

  EN 60825-1.

  This product is classified as Class 2 according to 

  EN 60825-1 (IEC60825-1).

Certification label

•  F39-PTG is used for coarse adjustment.

Coarse adjustment means to adjust an approximate location to install a Safety Light 

Curtain. Beam adjustment cannot be performed with coarse adjustment alone.

After coarse adjustment, be sure to perform beam adjustment using Safety Light 

Curtain's light intensity level indicators according to the User's Manual.

 1. Turn ON the power of the laser module.

2. Mount a F39-PTG at the top of the emitter (or receiver) of the F3SG and 

   fixt it with a rubber band.

 3. Perform coarse adjustment so that laser beam is radiated at the center 

  of the top of the opposed receiver (or emitter). After adjustment, temporarily 

  tighten the mounting bracket on top.

 4. Turn OFF the F39-PTG and remove it.

 5. Perform coarse adjustment steps 1 to 4 as needed and temporarily tighten the 

  mounting bracket.

 6. Also perform coarse adjustment steps 2 to 4 for the receiver (or emitter).
