Greater Resistance to External Light Interference. Significantly Less Interference with Other Sensors.

 

Operating Range of 3.5 m and Hand Protection (Minimum Detectable Object: 25-mm Dia.)

  • Interference reduced both between Sensors of the same type and Sensors of different types.

  • Setting Console optimizes light sensitivity for specific ranges.

  • Ideal where installation space is limited.

  • Conforms to International Safety Standards.

  • Korean standard "S-mark" models are also available.

Features

 

New Emitter Mechanism Eliminates Excessive Light

 

Conventional Models

Conventional models had an operating range that was too long. This meant that they picked up light from sensors in unexpected locations and they interfered with other sensors.

 

F3SN-A[]SS Series

The operating range for the F3SN-A[]SS Series is limited to 3.5 m as opposed to 10 m for conventional models. This dramatically reduces the negative impact on adjacent light curtains and surrounding photoelectric sensors even in applications where parallel light curtains are installed for multiple devices. It also eliminates additional work such as installing special wiring to prevent interference.

 

The amount of light from the Emitter was reduced and the rate operating range was shortened to 3.5 m. This way light from Emitter 1 does not reach Receiver 2.

 

 

 

Setting Console Optimizes Light Sensitivity for Specific Ranges

 

A Setting Console can vary the threshold value

 

 

Ideal Where Installation Space Is Limited

 

Back-mounted Connector Cable Models and Optional Right-angle Cables

 

Use back-mounted Connector Cable models like the F3SN-A[]SS-02 and the F3SN-A[]SS-04 for installations where space is a premium and where the dimensions at the bottom of the light curtain are restricted. (The F3SN-A[]SS-04 also has a Connector Cable on top for series connections.) In addition to conventional Straight Connector Cables, we also have optional F39-JC[]E[] Right-angle Connector Cables that connect on the left side or right side from the lens surface for installations where very little room is left behind the Light Curtain.

 

The F3SN-A[]P14 finger protection model is ideal for the more compact machines available today.

 

Emitter and Receiver

 

 

Integrated Control for Multiple Light Curtains

 

We recommend using an F3SX Safety Controller with the Light Curtains.

 

When two or more Light Curtains are used to detect intrusion in a dangerous zone, the F3SX Safety Controller can be used with them to easily create complex safety circuits.

 

Refer to the F3SX Safety Controllers Catalog for specific product details.

 

Integration of F3SX Safety Controller and Safety Light Curtain

 

Other ways to easily create safety circuits: Saving space by using the external Relay Monitor Function built into the sensor and two G7SA Safety Relays to achieve a category 4 rating. Reduce wiring by using the F3SP-B1P Control Unit to reduce amount of wiring required.

 

 

Conforms to International Safety Standards

 

The F3SN-A[]SS is a Type 4 sensor with a category 4 rating. This means that it conforms to the highest standards of safety for a Safety Light Curtain. The F3SN-A[]SS conforms to all the following standards.

 

International standards

IEC61496-1, IEC61496-2

EU and EN standards

Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, EN61496-1, and prEN61496-2

North American standards

UL61496-1, UL61496-2, UL508, UL1998, CAN/CSA22.2 NO.14, CAN/CSA22.2 NO.0.8

JIS standards

JIS B9704-1, B9704-2

 

The F3SN-A[]SS can be used in machines covered by the 29 CFR1910.212 OSHA standard in the United States. It also satisfies requirements from the ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 American National Standard for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems.


Standards: CE, cUL(US), IEC, OSHA, ANSI/RIA, JIS
