Term Definition
A 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.
Auxiliary output 1 Allows output appropriate for the setting. This CANNOT be used for safety applications.
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.
D Detection capability Minimum size of an object that can be detected in the protective height of the F3SJ.
E Effective aperture angle
(EAA)
Range of angles for which the F3SJ can operate.
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
Output 1
Used to turn on muting lamps, etc. by output from a receiver. This CANNOT be used for safety
applications.
External Indicator
Output 2
Used to turn on muting lamps, etc. by output from a emitter. 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.
I Interlock Function that holds the safety outputs to OFF until safety is ensured and a reset input is applied.
Interlock reset Cancels the interlock state.
K Key cap for muting Connector that is attached to the end cap of an emitter or receiver to use muting function.
L Lockout Function that holds safety output OFF when an error is detected by the F3SJ.
M Muting Function that temporarily disables the safety function of the F3SJ, keeping the safety output ON even if
beams are being blocked.
Muting error Occurs when muting input is not applied in the correct order. As long as the F3SJ is not interrupted,
safety output does not turn OFF and normal operation continues.
Muting input time limit
value (maximum value)
This is the maximum value of the time difference for the inputs of muting input 1 and 2. It is set as 3s.
Muting input time limit
value (minimum value)
This is the minimum value of the time difference for the inputs of muting input 1 and 2. It is set as 0.03s.
Muting input time with
allowable waveform
cracks
The maximum value of the time of the waveform cracks permitted by muting input 1 and muting input 2,
when muting is in effect. It is set as 0.1s.
Muting sensor Input device, such as photoelectric sensor or proximity sensor, that inputs the timing of the start and end
of the muting function.
Muting system This refers to the F3SJ when a key cap for muting is attached. The muting function and override
function can be used.
Muting time limit This is the muting function continuation time. The muting function is cancelled if the muting state
continues for longer than this time limit.
O Output operation mode Details that are output from the auxiliary output or external indicator output.
Override Function that forcibly turns the safety output ON when the muting function is not working.
P Primary sensor Name of the F3SJ connected nearest the power supply when series-connected.
R Reset Releases the interlock state/lockout state.
Response time from ON
to OFF
Time period from when the F3SJ is blocked until the safety output turns from ON to OFF.
S Safety output (OSSD) Outputs +24V when receiving light. Can be used for safety applications.
Secondary sensor Name used for F3SJ other than the primary sensor, when series-connected.
