Muting Function
Muting function temporarily disables safety function of the F3SJ-B, keeping safety output ON even if
beams are interrupted. This makes it possible to install safety light curtains for AGV passage, enabling
both safety and productivity. When muting, the top-beam-state indicator (TOP), bottom-beam-state
indicator (BTM) and external indicator (if wired) connected to the auxiliary output blink to notify people
in the surrounding zone that the safety functions are disabled.
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 be passed 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.
