For installation
Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ after installation to verify that the F3SJ operates as intended.
Make sure to stop the machine until the test is complete. Unintended function settings may cause a person to
go undetected, resulting in serious injury.
Make sure to secure the safety distance between the F3SJ and the hazardous parts. Otherwise, the machine
may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached by passing through
the sensor's detection zone. Install the sensors so that part of the person is always present in the detection
zone when working in a machine's hazardous areas. If a person is able step into the hazardous area of a
machine and remain behind the F3SJ's detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that
prevents the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous area and where
it cannot be activated from within the hazardous area.
The F3SJ cannot protect a person from an object flying from a hazardous area. Install protective cover(s) or
fence(s).
The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must ensure safety using
other method when these functions are operating.
Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is being allowed to pass through
the detection zone and a person. If the muting function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result
in serious injury.
Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and override functions must be
installed where they are clearly visible to workers from all the operating positions.
Install the switch that activates the override in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous
area and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous area. Make sure that nobody is in the
hazardous area before activating the override function.
Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by reflective surfaces. Failure to do so may hinder detection,
resulting in serious injury.
When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual interference does not occur, such as by
configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.
Make sure that the F3SJ is securely mounted and its cables and connectors are properly connected.
Make sure that foreign objects such as water, oil, or dust do not enter the inside of the F3SJ while the cap is
removed.
