Nomenclature
Protective height
The F3S-B can detect in the area indicated by ”Protective
height” in the figure below. The protective height is from ”the
Optical-axis line mark above the indicator area” to ”the end of
the yellow metal case”.
Optical-axis line mark
The center line for optical axes is indicated by the triangle
mark. This position is a reference line for measuring safety
distance.

Stand-alone type
This is the most common configuration, and it is used to protect a hazardous part of a machine when approached from
one direction only.
Series connection types
When your application requires an additional protective zone,
for example, to prevent someone from staying behind a primary detection zone, the F3S-B may be connected in series.
The system consists of a master unit, a slave unit, and a series connection cable, type F39-JB1B.
The series connection allows up to 96 axes and 2.4 m of protective height in total.
Series connection types have the same characteristics as a
stand-alone types. When the detection zone of the master
unit or that of the slave unit is interrupted, the outputs of the
master unit go to the OFF-state.
