Term Definition
A Access qualification Function that requires a password to change setting to prevent careless change of F3SJ’s functional
setting.
Accumulated load
switching frequency This value indicates the cumulative value for load switching frequency, from when power was first
supplied to the F3SJ until the present.
Administrator level Mode for F3SJ’s functional setting change. Password input is required to log in to this mode because of
access qualification.
Allowable delay time The allowable amount of time from when the safety output changes until the external device monitoring
input changes. The F3SJ enters lockout if this time is exceeded.
Auto reset Setting status by which the safety output automatically turns ON when the F3SJ receives light after the
power is turned ON and after the F3SJ is blocked.
Auxiliary output 1 Allows output appropriate for the setting. This CANNOT be used for safety applications.
Auxiliary output 2 Allows output appropriate for the setting. This CANNOT be used for safety applications. When a muting
enabling key cap (F39-CN6) is attached, this output is used as a muting input.
Auxiliary output
diagnosis function Detects breakage and short-circuits for the muting lamp or external indicator connected to auxiliary
output 1.
B Basic system This refers to the F3SJ in the state it is in when purchased. The basic system provides basic safety light
curtain functions. Most functions can be used without performing additional configuration.
Blanking zone A range of consecutive beams for which fixed or floating blanking is configured.
Breakage detection This function puts the F3SJ in lockout when there is broken connection between the output terminals for
the external indicator.
D Designated beam
interruption information ON is output when any of the designated beams are interrupted. Beams must be designated if this
output operation is selected.
Designated beam output Provides output based on incidence/interruption status of a designated beam. Destination can be
assigned to auxiliary output or external indicator output.
Detection capability Minimum size of an object that can be detected in the protective height of the F3SJ.
Disturbance light level
display This display can read out the disturbance light level of the F3SJ. For the PC tool for F3SJ, the level can
be checked using a graph.
E Effective aperture angle
(EAA) Range of angles for which the F3SJ can operate.
End beam disable mode If either end beam of the F3SJ is set as a floating beam, its status as a floating beam target is cancelled.
Error/lockout information This information is output from the auxiliary output or external indicator when an error or lockout occurs.
Note that the error/lockout information must be assigned to an output destination.
Exit only muting delay
time The OFF delay time from when the signal of muting input 1 or 2 turns OFF until the muting state is
cancelled.
Exit only muting mode Used when there is only enough space to install a muting sensor on one end of the F3SJ.
External device
monitoring function(EDM) Function that detects malfunctions, such as welding, in external relays (or contactors) that control the
hazardous zone of a machine, by monitoring the operation of N.C. contact.
External indicator
diagnosis function Detects breakage and short-circuits for the muting lamp or external indicator connected to the external
indicator output.
External Indicator
Output 1 Allows configuration of receiver's output based on settings. This CANNOT be used for safety
applications.
External Indicator
Output 2 Allows configuration of emitter's output based on settings. This CANNOT be used for safety
applications.
External test Function that stops emission at any time to check that the safety output is being properly turned OFF.
F Fixed blanking Disables part of F3SJ's operation range. Safety output will not change even if an object enters the
disabled zone.
Fixed blanking
monitoring function This function puts the F3SJ in lockout state when part of the fixed blanking zone is interrupted.
Fixed blanking zone This refers to the zone set in the fixed blanking function. One zone can be set by the setting console,
and 5 zones can be set by the PC tool for F3SJ.
