2-21. Response Time Adjustment
To change the response time, calculate the safety distance based on the setting. Otherwise, the
machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
2-21-1. Overview
The Response Time Adjustment function allows the user to select the longer response time in order to
reduce the chance the safety outputs are turned OFF by an accidental block of the F3SG-SR due to an
environmental factor. Environmental factors include noise, smoke, dust, and bugs.
2-21-2. Factory Default Setting
The response time is configured to the normal mode.
For the response time of factory default setting, see 1-6-1. List of Models and Response Times
2-21-3. Setting with Intelligent Tap
The user cannot make any changes to the settings of this function by the Intelligent Tap.
2-21-4. Setting with SD Manager 3
The user can make changes to the settings of this function by the SD Manager 3.
The ON-to-OFF response time of the Slow mode is doubled compared to the Normal mode.
It is recommended that the Position 2 of the DIP Switch be set at OFF (DIP Switch Disabled).
Refer to Chapter 4 Setting with SD Manager 3 for more information on changing functions by SD Manager 3.
