E
F Floating beam This refers to number of interrupted beams for which F3SJ does not transition to lockout or the safety
output to turn OFF, when the floating blanking function is enabled.
Floating blanking Safety output will not turn OFF unless any two or more beams are interrupted.
Floating blanking
monitoring function
This setting causes the F3SJ to enter lockout if an interrupting object is smaller than the dimensions of
each setting value when in sequential beam mode.
Floating blanking zone This refers to the zone set in the floating blanking function. One zone can be set by the setting console.
The PC tool for F3SJ can set 1 zone as well, while it can specify a zone range.
I Lighting-on pattern Sets the lighting-on/blinking patterns when an external indicator is connected.
Incidence information This information is output from the auxiliary output or external indicator when all beams necessary for
turning the safety output ON are incident. Note that the incidence information must be assigned to an
output destination.
Incident light level
indicator
This indicator can read out the incident light level of the F3SJ. For the PC tool for F3SJ, the level can be
checked using a graph.
Information trigger
information
Output from the auxiliary output or external indicator when the interlock, lockout, or muting error state
occurs. Note that the information trigger information must be assigned to an output destination.
Interlock Function that holds the safety outputs to OFF until safety is ensured and a reset input is applied.
Interlock Information Provides output through auxiliary output or external indicator if interlock input is ON. Note that interlock
information must be assigned to the destination.
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 Light level diagnosis
information
This information is output from the auxiliary output or the external indicator when the F3SJ is ON and
when the incident light level is from 100% to 130% of the ON threshold value for 10 seconds or more.
Note that the light level diagnosis information must be assigned to an output destination.
Load Switching
Frequency
Indicates load switching frequency connected to F3SJ.
Lockout Function that holds safety output OFF when an error is detected by the F3SJ.
Lower beams Indicate beams on F3SJ’s power supply end.
M Maintenance Status Status when the setting tool is connected. This status has the following difference comparing with the
normal operation status.
- Safety outputs stay OFF.
- The OFF-state indicator blinks when one or more beams are blocked.
- The ON-state indicator blinks when no beams are blocked.
- The power indicator blinks.
- Lockout state does not occur except by model error, communication error, setting value error and
internal circuit failure.
Manual reset Setting status by which the safety outputs is turned ON from the interlock state by applying a reset input
while the F3SJ is receiving light.
Master password Password to initialize (to "0000") the log-in password for administrator level.
Muting Function that temporarily disables the safety function of the F3SJ, keeping the safety output ON even if
beams are being blocked.
Muting end wait time This is the OFF delay time from when the F3SJ is incident until the muting state is cancelled.
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.
