F3EM

 Measuring lightcurtain in robust aluminium housing

Dimensions

Operation

The F3EM measuring lightcurtain features optical synchroniza-
tion. This function is provided by the upper beam located on the 
opposite side of the connector (see illustration below). During op-
eration this beam must always be kept free. Otherwise it will result 
a loss of synchronism between the transmitter and receiver.

For applications where all beams are interrupted there are special 
models with synchronization by wire. Please contact your 
OMRON representative.

Indicator LEDs

For functions of indicator LEDs please refer to the tables be-
low:

Selector switches (dip switches)

Operation mode, distance setting (analog models) and trans-
mission speed (serial models) can be changed by selector 
switches. To access selector switches unscrew the end cap 
of the receiver unit:

Note: Selector setting must only be carried out when the receiver is not con-

nected to the power supply.
