*1.The 4 digits in [][][][] in the model number represent the protective height. Use the formula given in the information on protective height specifications to calculate the height.
For example, if the beam gap is 9 mm, and the No. of beams is 21, the protective height will be 9 × 21 = 189 mm. The model with this protective height is F3SN-A0189P14.
*2.F3SN-A[][][][]P14-01 is a customized model. Consult with your dealer or OMRON representative when ordering this model.
*3.Only models ending in -01, -03, -04, or -05 have this output and functionality.
*4.For the factory setting, the manual reset mode is set to the “start/restart” interlock.
Using the F39-MC11 can select either the start interlock or the restart interlock.
*5.For the factory setting, the function is not set. It can be enabled with the F39-MC11.
*6.Not provided with the F3SN-A[][][][]P70 and F3SH-A.
