product performance.
 Storage conditions and installation environment

Responsible Person may be required to take adequate measures to reduce interference.
 Wiring and installation
• Properly perform the wiring after confirming the signal names of all the terminals.
• Be sure that there is nothing in the detection zone and the stable-state indicator is turned ON after

• When using a commercially available switching regulator power supply, make sure to ground the PE
terminal (protective earth terminal).
• Install the emitter and receiver to the same vertical direction.
• Use brackets of specified quantities and locations according to the dimensions.
If the brackets described above are not used, ratings and performance cannot be met.
• Do not install the F3SG-R close to a device that generates high-frequency noise. Otherwise, take
sufficient blocking measures.
