About this document
Protective field
Protective field size
Monitored areas
Warning field
Response time
Reactivation time
The safety area that, when infringed, results in the immediate shut down of the dangerous
movement is termed the protective field. If a person or object enters the protective field,
the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 provides a stop signal to the machine via the OSSD
switching outputs.
The maximum protective field size is defined by the distance of the safety laser scanner
scanning head to the most distant point of the protective field including the safety
supplement.
Monitored areas are a general term used for protective fields (up to 6 m) and/or warning
fields (up to 7.5 m). Monitored areas can have irregular shapes or shapes adapted to the
surroundings. The safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 monitors them continuously by means
of individual radial laser beams.
The warning field is described as that safety area whose infringement causes an optical or
acoustic warning signal. If a person or object enters the warning field, the safety laser
scanner F3G-C1R70 provides a signal to the monitored machine via the warning output.
The response time is maximum time between intrusion of objects in monitored areas and
making OSSDs into OFF-state (Open).
The reactivation time is time between removal of objects from monitored areas and
making OSSDs into ON-state (Close).

WARNING
Please observe the following items in order to ensure the correct and safe use of the
safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70.
Prior to commissioning the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 for the first time, please read
this instruction manual and the users manual for the CSL (Configuration Software for
Laserscanner) carefully. Get to know the system and the CSL. Please contact your nearest
OMRON representative if you have any questions. We will be pleased to provide assistance.
All appropriate legal regulations, the requirements of the trade associations and the
instructions of the manufacturer of the machine to be monitored must be observed
without fail.
The protective function of the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 depends on the correct
definition and programming of the warning field and protective field.
Installation of the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70, definition and programming of the
areas to be monitored and integration in the machine control system, must be carried out
only by authorised personnel who are appropriately trained.
After completing the programming, the arrangement of the protective and warning fields
are to be tested on the machine while it is switched on, but not running. On this topic see

(reference target)
The safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 has been designed for industrial use. Its task is to
detect access of persons to hazardous areas and stop the dangerous movement of a
machine in this area. A signal is triggered as soon as a person or object enters the
monitored area:
• If a person or object is present within the warning field, the safety laser scanner F3G-
C1R70 switches a relay contact at the corresponding signal output. This signal can be
used for acoustic and optical warnings. Warning is to indicate that the hazardous area is
to be left before the protective field is activated and the safety laser scanner F3GC1R70’s OSSDs issue a stop signal that triggers a machine stop.
• If a person or object is present within the protective field, the safety laser scanner F3G-
C1R70 switches two independent relay contacts, OSSDs. These signals must lead to an
immediate switching off of the dangerous machine movement.
The CSL (Configuration Software for Laserscanner) is included with the safety laser
scanner F3G-C1R70 for the definition and testing of the protective field and warning field.

WARNING
AGV
The following must be considered!
• In cases where it is not possible to prevent undetected personnel from standing in front
of the AGV by appropriate sizing of the protective field, then a manual restart interlock
must be included in the AGV. The switch to reset the interlock condition must be
installed so that the entire hazardous area is visible and free of personnel, also the
switch must not be able to be operated from within the hazardous area.
• The width of the accessible area that is not monitored directly in front of the AGV must
be less than 35 mm for a maximum protective field size of up to 3 m. For larger
maximum protective field sizes, the distance must be reduced to zero.
Program reactivation delay!
In case of AGV applications, you must program a reactivation delay for the safety laser
scanner F3G-C1R70. The reactivation delay defines the length of time [ms] before the
relay is reactivated after the monitored field is clear (automatic restart after time).
With automatic restart, the restart period must be set to a minimum of 2000 ms.

!
You can stipulate the reactivation delay independently for the warning field and the
protective field (Right-click on the device symbol in the navigation area > Configuration
draft > Edit parameters). The values permitted are between 200 and 5000 ms.

3.2 Operating principles of the device
Measurement principle
The safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 emits pulsed laser beams throughout a complete
360° with the help of a rotating mirror. The light pulses are reflected diffusely from objects
in the vicinity and received by a photodiode in the sensor. The safety laser scanner F3GC1R70 determines the distance to the object from the propagation time that the light
requires from emission to reception of the reflection at the sensor.

F3G-C1R70
Product description
Monitoring of protective field and warning field
Two distance limit values, representing the warning field and protective field, can be
defined for each measurement beam with the help of the CSL. While monitoring, the safety
laser scanner F3G-C1R70 compares the measured object distance with defined limit
values.

Possible configuration Impossible configuration
The tables of distance limit values are determined with a computer and laid down in the
safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70. The warning and protective field limits can be of any
shape and ideally adapted to the surroundings. The safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 must
therefore be within the limits of both the warning field and the protective field.
Self-testing
Comprehensive internal tests run continuously within the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70.
This ensures the system’s high level of operational reliability. All basic components are
either present in duplicate, or are monitored by testing logics that operate independently.
The so-called reference or test target is an important constituent of the self-testing
systems. This involves a stationary target firmly mounted on the safety laser scanner F3GC1R70, detected on each rotation. Any alteration in the measurement value indicates a
system error and leads to an error state.
During monitoring the safety laser scanner F3G-C1R70 checks that it is functioning
correctly.
The system sensitivity of the device is monitored through the measurement of the light
reflected from the reference target. Contamination of the optical surface or the reference
target can thus lead to the system error: Device insensitive/reference target error (LED
indicators). If this happens, clean the optical surface as well as the reference target as per
the instructions given in Section 9 “Maintenance and care” on page 33.
