Features
High reliability and flexibility:
Test input: Function of multi-beam sensor can be tested by transmitter cut off on test signal. A subsequent receiver cut off can be
monitored by control unit.
Ray failure toleration: As soon as one channel is not switching for more than 60 seconds, the F3E identifies a defect and deactivates this channel. The sensor then functions normally again showing the defect channel by a red error LED.
Easy parameterization: By test input of transmitter a parameterization of L-ON/D-ON operation and shading of LED areas is possible. No complicated programming or remote control needed
Potential free output: The F3E provides a wear-free electronic relay output for highest connection flexibility and life-time.

High resolution is realized by triple crossing of light
beams.
Automatic sensitivity control ensures steady and op-
timum light power. Even when sensors are operated
in dirty environment or at highest distances, no adjustment is necessary. Sensitivity control ensures
that the high resolution is maintained at small distances close to "zero".

Precautions
@ WARNING
The F3E multi-beam photoelectric sensor is not a
safety component for ensuring the safety of people
which is defined in EC directive (2006/42/EC) or by
any other regulations or standards.
Power Supply Voltage and
Output Load Power Supply Voltage
Do not connect an AC power supply to the Sensor. If AC power (100 VAC or more) is supplied to the Sensor, it may explode or burn. Make sure that the power supply to the Sensor
is within the rated voltage range. If a voltage exceeding the
rated voltage range is supplied to the Sensor, it may explode
or burn.
Operating Environment
Do not use the Sensor in locations with explosive or flammable gas. Make sure that the product is operated in accordance
with IP54 standards.
Do not subject the multi-beam sensor to excessive shock
when mounting.
When you use the multi-beam sensor in the vicinity of an inverter motor, be sure to connect the protective earth ground
wire of the motor to earth. Failure to ground the motor may result in malfunction of the sensor.
Mounting the Sensor
Do not strike the Photoelectric Sensor with a hammer or any
other tool during the installation of the Sensor.
Cleaning
Never use paint thinners or other organic solvents to clean the
surface of the product
M8 Connector
Always turn OFF the power supply to the Sensor before connecting or disconnecting the metal connector. Hold the connector cover to connect or disconnect it.
Secure the connector cover by hand. Do not use pliers; otherwise the connector may be damaged.
If the connector is not connected securely, it may be disconnected by vibration or the proper degree of protection of the
Sensor may not be maintained.
In the interest of product improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.Cat. No. E48E-EN-01A
