J 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 Un it, 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
stand-alone types. When the detection zone of the Master Unit
or that of the Slave Unit is i nterrupted, the outputs of the Master
Unit go to the OFF-state.

Note: Slave Unit does not have indicators.

Master Unit and Slave Unit need to be ordered
separately.

D F39-E1 Interface Unit

D F39-JB1C Interface Cable

The F39-U1E Optional Function Software is the WINDOWSR
based software for use with the F39-E1 Interface Unit to program
the F3S-B Safety Light Curtain. The software is provided on one

3.5 inch floppy disk. The software has the features listed below.

Set the following functions to the F3S-B:

1. Start interlock function

2. Relay monitoring function

3. Blanking function

D Display each axis and each input line condition of the F3S-B

D Change the ON delay time

Note: The F3S-B is not in normal operation during connection

with the F39-E1. The control outputs are held in their
OFF-state. For detailed information please refer to
Details of Optional Function Ki t, E39-EU1E in this data
sheet.

!

WARNING

After setting the blanking function, check that the F3S-B
detects a test rod at any position in the F3S-B detection zone
through which a person reaches the hazardous part of the
machine. If any positions are found by check above, install
protective structures to there to prevent intrusion which the
F3S-B can not detect. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.

Perform the installation check and the periodical inspection
described in the F3S-B manual.

Disconnect the outputs of the F3S-B from the load when
programming it using the F39-U1E software and with F39-E1
Interface Unit. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Do not connect the F39-E1 to a power supply with a voltage
higher than 24 VDC +20 %. Do not connect the F39 -E1 to an
AC power supply.

Installation

J WIRING

Disconnect all sources of power before wiring the F3S-B to a machine.

D Connect the emitter extension cable (F39-JBjA--L optional, gray color outer jacket) to the emitter. (The emitter uses gray color

plastic caps.)

D Connect the receiver extension cable (F39-JBjA--D optional, black color outer jacket) to the receiver. (The receiver unit uses

black color plastic caps.)

the 3.5--inch floppy disk (enclosed with the product) onto the hard
disk of the PC.

J FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Start Interlock

When the Start interlock function is used, the F3S -B does not go
to the ON-state automatically after power ON. Interrupting one or
more axes resets the start interlock condition of the F3S--B then
starts normal operation. The duration of the interruption must be
equal or shorter as defined in the »Max. interruption time (sec)« .

Max. Interruption Time

The max interruption time can be set between 0.3and2s.

Note: In the case both the Start interlock and the Start/restart

interlock are selected, only the Start/restart interlock will
be activate.

Start/Restart interlock is a function which is selected by w iring.
Refer to the instruction manual of the F3S-B for more detailed
information.

Relay Monitoring

MPCEs (Machine Primary Control Elements) are usually relays
or contactors used to control hazardous movement directly. The
state of the MPCEs can be checked with the Relay monitoring
function.

A voltage of 17 VDC to Vs (Supplied voltage to F3S-B) has to be
applied to the Relay monitoring input through the NC contacts of
the MPCEs when the F3S -B control outputs are in the OFF--state
(see the F3S-B manual for wiring information). To ensure this
logic relation, the MPCEs must be safety approved types, with
forcibly guided contacts.

Allowed Relay Delay Time

The allowed relay delay time can be set between 20 and 300
ms. This delay time has to be set at least 20 milliseconds shorter

than the Outputs ON delay time.

Outputs ON Delay

You can set the ON delay time of control outputs between 80 and
400 ms. This corresponds to the time which the control outputs

go to ON-state after the detection zone is not interrupted.

Note: 1. When the Relay monitoring function is also used, the

ON delay time must meet the formula below.

2. ON delay time ≥ Allowed relay delay time + 20 ms
After the Relay monitoring function is set, if the ON
delay time does not meet the above formula, the
ON delay time will be changed automatically into
Allowed relay delay time +20ms.

Blanking

With the Blanking function, one or more axes can be disabled.
This function is useful in an application where a part of the F3S-B
detection zone is alw ays interrupted. The Manual setting and the
Teaching setting are available to select the blanked axes.

Note: 1. In the case the blanked zone is not filled with structure

completely and remains some opening, the opening
must be filled with the protective structure.

2. All axes can not be disabled. At least one axis needs to
be active.

Precautions

!

WARNING

1. D o not use the F3S-B on machines that can not be stopped by electrical control in case of an emergency.

2. D o not use the F3S-B in flammable or explosive environments.

3. Al ways maintain the safety distance between F3S-B and a hazardous part of the machine. Serious injury may result if the
machine does not stop before someone reaches the hazardous part.

4. Install protective structures around a machine so that you must pass through the detection zone to reach a hazardous part of
the machine.

5. Install F3S-B so that some parts of the operator’s body remain in the detection zone at all times when the operator works in that
hazardous area.

6. Fai lure to do so may result in serious injury.

J CORRECT INSTALLATION

A hazardous part of a machine can be
reached only by passing through the sensor
detection zone.

Some part of the operator’s body remains in
the detection zone while they are working.

F3S-B

J INCORRECT INSTALLATION

A hazardous part of the machine can be
reached without passing through the sensor
detected zone.

!

WARNING

1. Be sure to install the F3S-B to minimize the effects of reflections from reflective surfaces.
Failure to do so will create an inability to detect and may result in serious injury.

2. Install the F3S-B with a minimum distance D as shown below from the reflective surface (highly reflective surfaces)
like metal walls, floors, ceilings, and work pieces.
