Mutual Interference Prevention
Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration. Doing so may hinder
detection. It is possible to use mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-degree angle.
When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual interference does not occur, such as
by configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.
Series Connection
Series connection can prevent mutual interference when multiple sensors are used. Up to 3 sets, 240
beams, can be connected. The emission of series-connected F3SJ is time-divided, so mutual
interference does not occur and safety is ensured.
How to perform series connection p.52
No Connection
Mutual interference is prevented in up to 3 sets, using interference light avoidance algorithm. If 4 or
more sets of F3SJ are installed and are not connected to each other, arrange them so that mutual
interference does not occur. If 2 sets are installed near each other, reflection from the surface of the
F3SJ may cause mutual interference. When mutual interference occurs, the F3SJ enters lockout.
Combining countermeasures 1 to 4 shown below is effective.
1. Install a physical barrier between 2 sets
