Designation

The F3SP-B1P can construct the condition conforming to cat. 4 / PLe or cat.2 / PLc requested by EN 
ISO13849-1 with combination as follows:
   - Category 4 / PLe:

Note: Category is not judeged only by the condition above, but is judged by the
          condition of the whole control system. 
- In order to be cat. 4/ PLe, or cat. 2/ PLc
   1. The NC contact from a contactor is required to feed back signal.

      (Refer to the application examples. For category 2, it is not mandatory.)

   2. PE terminal should be connected to protective earth. 
   3. In application with long term operation of devices, the F3SP-B1P must have cyclic 
       operation every 24 hours at least in order to detect failures and a failure 
       accumulation.

Specifications

● 

Characteristics

(1) When ready for wiring, the power source should be disconnected first. Further, at operating

     this unit, the terminal cover should be closed correctly in orde to prevent an electrical shock.

(2) Do not wire in case threat of Lightning. otherwise an electric shock may occur.
(3) Do not apply any excessive voltage or current to the input or output circuit the F3SP-B1P.

     Doing so may result in damage to the F3SP-B1P or cause afire.

(4) Do not apply any variable voltage, otherwise F3SP-B1P may malfunction. 
(5) Do not connect any overload to the output circuit, otherwise the F3SP-B1P in operation will 

     generate excessive heat and the output elements of the F3SP-B1P may short-circuit or fire 
     may result.

(6) The lifetime of F3SP-B1P depends on the conditions of switching of its outputs. Be sure to 

     conduct its test operation under actual operating conditions in advance and use it within 
     appropriate  switching cycles. Change the F3SP-B1P before expected  operation. Over 
     operation may cause  may short-circuit or may malfunction.

(7) Do not operate the F3SP-B1P with flammable or explosive gass. An arc with operation and

     the heat of relay will cause a fire or an explosion.

(8) Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the F3SP-B1P, otherwise an electric shock may occur or 

     the F3SP-B1P may malfunction.

(9) Use protective device (Fuse etc) for short-circuit protection and ground fault protection, 

     otherwise a fire may occur or the F3SP-B1P may malfunction.

(10) Be sure to wire correctly. The sensor connector is the same both the emitter and  the 

       receiver.

(11) Do not dismantle, repair, or modify F3SP-B1P. it may lead to loss of its safety functions. 

(1) For malfunctions in case that the power supply picks up gradually.

     Malfunctions in case that the power supply picks up gradually. In case that the input circuits 
     close before the power supplies, internal logic may malfunction. 

(2) Handling

     Do not drop the F3SP-B1P or shock or vibrate the F3SP-B1P excessively. Doing so may result 
     in damage to the F3SP-B1P or cause F3SP-B1P to malfunction.

(3) For adhesion of solvent

     Adhesion of solvent, likely Alcohol, Thinner, Trichloroethane, Gasoline, on the product should 
     be prohibited. Such solvent cause erasing the marking and being inferior of the parts.

(4) Take appropriate and sufficient countermeasures when installing systems in the following 

     locations. Inappropriate and insufficient measures may result in malfunction.

       1. Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
       2. Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
       3. Locations close to power supplies.
(5) Wiring

1. Use the following to wire the F3SP-B1P.

           - Stranded wire (Flexible wire): 0.75 to 1.5mm

2

           - Solid wire: 1.0 to 1.5mm

2

2. The F3SP-B1P may malfunction or generate heat.

           - Tighten each screw to a torque of 0.78 to 1.18N

m

       3. PE is a ground terminal. When machine is grounded at the positive, the PE terminal 
           should not be grounded.
       4. NC terminals do not have any function. Do not wire them.

The following  functions of the sensor can be used. Refer to the instruction manual of 
the sensor for detailed information.

・ 

Auto reset

/

Manual reset (Interlock function)

・ 

External device monitoring (EDM)

・

When in combination with the F3SR, "auxiliary output" can not be used.

The F3SP-B1P received the following  approvals in combination with the 
F3SN/F3SH/F3SR/F3SJ:

 ・ 

From EU accredited body TUV-SUD Product Service GmbH:

     - EC Type-examination in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive
       Approved standards: EN61496-1, CLC/TS 61496-2 (IEC61496-2)

 ・ 

From the Third Party Assessment Body UL:

     - UL Listed to U.S. and Canadian safety standards  
       Approved standards: IEC61496-1, IEC61496-2, 
                                           UL508, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.14, CAN/CSA C22.2 No.8
