If a meeting error occurred while a workpiece blocks F3SG, you can use either of the following
ways to remove the workpiece:
1) manually (with additional safety measures), or
2) Override function (override under normal operation or on startup)
You must use either of the above ways. You MUST NOT use both ways.
Using both ways may activate the Override function at an unintended timing for a worker.
Install the F3SG-SR/PG so that it is not affected by reflective surfaces. Failure to do so may
hinder detection, resulting in serious injury. For an installation distance from reflective surfaces,
see
5-1-3. Distance from Reflective Surfaces .
When using more than one set of F3SG-SR/PG's in adjacent areas, the emitter of one F3SG-SR/
PG may interfere with the receiver of the other, causing the safety functions to stop working
properly. Install, configure and maintain them so that mutual interference does not occur.
To change the response time, calculate the safety distance based on the setting. Otherwise, the
machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Do not use the F3SG-SR/PG with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration. Doing so may hinder
detection. It is possible to use mirrors to alter the detection zone to a 90-degree angle.
