Combine safety and productivity with a controller-less muting function.
The muting function temporarily disables the light curtain when an object must pass through the detection zone, such as when supplying a workpiece to your equipment. In the past, this function required a dedicated muting controller, but now it is built into the F3SJ. To use the muting function, purchase the F39-CN6 Key Cap for Muting (sold
separately). The muting function is enabled simply by replacing the Unit's cap with this Key Cap. In addition, a muting sensor that determines the muting timing, as well as a muting lamp that communicates the muting status to other operators, should be connected to the F3SJ.
A measure to prevent you from forgetting to connect a series
connection cable.
The connectors for series connection feature an intelligent design. To connect a series connection cable to the F3SJ, remove the Key Cap that is required when the sensor is used by itself. If you should happen to forget to connect the series connection cable, the sensor will not operate by itself without the Key Cap. This solves the problem of sensors operating independently when a series connection cable is accidentally left unconnected, such as when equipment is moved.
Complies with the latest international safety standards and
regulations.
Like previous Type 4 Safety Light Curtains, the F3SJ conforms to the latest required safety standards and regulations. Since the F3SJ also complies with IEC61508, the international standard for functional safety, safety is ensured regardless of where it is used.
