2-20. Response Time Adjustment
2-20-1. Overview
The Response Time Adjustment function allows the user to select the longer response time in order to
reduce the chance the safety outputs are turned OFF by an accidental block of the F3SG-R due to an
environmental factor. Environmental factors include noise, smoke, dust, and bugs.
The Response Time Adjustment is not available for the F3SG-RE.
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.
2-20-2. Factory Default Setting
In the factory default setting, the response time is configured to the normal mode.
For the response time of factory default setting, see 1-6-1. List of Models/Response Time/Current

Make sure the Responsible Person conduct a thorough risk assessment analysis before
managing and changing the settings. Unintended changes to the settings may cause a
person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.

The ON-to-OFF response time of the Slow mode is doubled compared to the Normal mode.
Make sure the Position 8 of the DIP Switch is set to Configuration Tool Enabled to activate the settings by the
Configuration Tool.
