*1. Models ending in -01 and -04 only.
*2. The glossary and functions are the same as those for the F3SN-A Series. Refer to F3SN-A/F3SN-B, F3SH-A.
*3. The default setting of the manual reset mode is for both “Start” and “Restart” interlocks. Use the F39-MC11 to select start interlock only or restart interlock only.
*4. The function is not factory set. It can be set with the F39-MC11.
*5. The test indicator (orange) on the Emitter and the blanking indicator (green) on the Receiver will flash to indicate the need for preventive maintenance when the total ON time exceeds 30,000 hours. (Models without this flashing function are also available as options. An “-NT” to the model number. Ask your OMRON representative for details.)
*6. Use the following equations to determine series connection response time.
Series connection with two sets
Response time (ON→ OFF): Sensor 1 response time + Sensor 2 response time + 3 ms
Response time (OFF→ ON): Sensor 1 response time + Sensor 2 response time + 12 ms
Series connection with three sets
Response time (ON→ OFF): Sensor 1 response time + Sensor 2 response time + Sensor 3 response time + 4 ms
Response time (OFF→ ON): Sensor 1 response time + Sensor 2 response time + Sensor 3 response time + 16 ms
*7. Intermediate mounting brackets are supplied with the following models:
When the overall Light Curtain length is 640 to 1280 mm or less: 1 set included
When the overall Light Curtain length is over 1280 mm: 2 sets included
Caution: In the interenst of product improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.
