Indicates the risk of electric shock.

Alert Statements in this Manual

For users

The F3SJ must be installed, configured, and incorporated into a machine control system by a sufficiently trained and qualified person. An unqualified person may not be able to perform these operations properly, which may cause a person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.

When changes are made to each function using the setting tool (F39-GWUM or F39-MC21), the administrator must manage the details of the changes and perform the changes. Accidental functional setting change may cause failure of human body detection, resulting in a serious injury.

For machines

Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot be stopped by electrical control. For example, do not use it for a pressing machine that uses full-rotation clutch. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.

Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety applications. Human body may not be detected when F3SJ fails, resulting in serious injury.

F3SJ-A

User’s Manual

Page 7

For installation

An actual performance is different according to the state of the installation, the user environment, and the application. Make sure to test the operation of the F3SJ after installation to verify that the F3SJ operates as intended. Make sure to stop the machine until the test is complete. Unintended function settings may cause a person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.

Make sure to install the F3SJ at the safe distance from the hazardous part of the equipment. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.

Install a protective structure so that the hazardous part of a machine can only be reached by a person that passes through the sensor's detection zone. Install the sensors so that part of the person is always present in the detection zone when working in a machine's hazardous zones. If a person is able step into the hazardous zone of a machine and remain behind the F3SJ's detection zone, configure the system with an interlock function that prevents the machine from being restarted. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Install the interlock reset switch in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone.

Introduction

The F3SJ cannot protect a person from a projectile exiting the hazardous zone. Install protective cover(s) or fence(s).

To prevent personnel approach to dangerous part of the machine through an zone disabled by the fixed blanking function, you must install a protective structure to cover the whole disabled zone. Failure to do so may cause failure of human body detection, resulting in a serious injury.

You must ensure that a test rod is detected for all detection zones except where fixed or floating blanking function is used. Failure to do so may cause failure of human body detection, resulting in a serious injury.

Detection capability gets larger when fixed/floating blanking function is used. You must use the detection capability for fixed and floating blanking functions. Failure to do so may cause failure of machine stop before reaching the machine's dangerous part, resulting in a serious injury.

You must ensure that the system works as you intended after configuring floating blanking. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

Warning zone output is non-safety output. You must not include it to calculation of safety distance.Otherwise safety distance may be reduced, resulting in serious injury.

A warning zone CANNOT be used for safety applications. Always install your system so that a detection zone should be passed before reaching a source of danger.

The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operating.

Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between the object that is being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious injury.

F3SJ-A

User’s Manual

Page 8

Introduction

Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers from all the operating positions.

Muting related time must be properly configured for its application by a sufficiently trained and qualified person, and the person must have responsibility for settings, especially when setting the muting time limit to infinite.

Use independent 2 input devices for muting inputs.

You must install F3SJ, muting sensor, and physical barrier, and configure time settings for muting so that an operator should not enter hazardous zone.

Install the switch that activates the override and that uses hold-to-run device, such as springreturn key switch, in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone. Make sure that nobody is in the hazardous zone before activating the override function.

Install the sensor system so that it is not affected by the reflective surface of the F3SJ.

When using more than 1 set of F3SJ, install them so that mutual interference does not occur, such as by configuring series connections or using physical barriers between adjacent sets.

Make sure that the F3SJ is securely mounted and its cables and connectors are properly secured.

Make sure that foreign material such as water, oil, or dust does not enter the F3SJ or the connector while the cap is removed.

Do not use the sensor system with mirrors in a retro-reflective configuration as shown below.Doing so may hinder detection. It is possible to use mirrors to "bend" the detection zone to a 90-degree angle.

Perform an inspection for all F3SJ as described in "Chapter 6 Checklists". When using series connections, perform inspections for every connected F3SJ.

For wiring

Connect the load between the output and +24V line (NPN output). Connecting the load between the output and 0V line will result in a dangerous condition because operation is reversed to "ON when blocked".

Do not short-circuit the output line to the 0V line. Otherwise, the output is always ON. Also, the +24V of the power supply must be grounded so that output does not turn ON due to grounding of the output line.

Configure the system by using the optimal number of safety outputs that satisfy the requirements of the necessary safety category.

Do not connect each line of F3SJ to a DC power supply of more than 24VDC+20%. Also, do not connect to an AC power supply. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Introduction

For the F3SJ to comply with IEC 61496-1 and UL 508, the DC power supply unit must satisfy all of the following conditions:

• Must be within the rated power voltage (24V DC

• Must have tolerance against the total rated current of devices if it is connected to multiple

devices

• Must comply with EMC directives (industrial environment)

• Double or reinforced insulation must be applied between the primary and secondary circuits

• Automatic recovery of overcurrent protection characteristics (reversed L sagging)

• Output holding time must be 20ms or longer

• Must satisfy output characteristic requirements for class 2 circuit or limited voltage current

circuit defined by UL508. Refer to p.158 for details.

• Must comply with laws and regulations, regarding EMC and electrical equipment safety, of the

country or region where the F3SJ is used (Ex: In EU, the power supply must comply with the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage Directive.)

Double or reinforced insulation from hazardous voltage must be applied to all input and output lines. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Extension of the cable must be within a specified length. If it isn't, safety function may not work properly, resulting in danger.

Application Examples

Detect the Approach to a Hazardous Zone



The F3SJ should be installed where workers require frequent access in order to perform tasks such as maintenance, and where physical barriers are difficult to install.

Chapter1 Application Examples

Overview and Specifications

 Using Multiple Sets in Combination

By installing sensors on both sides of a machine as well as in front, you can move workpieces in and out more efficiently than when a physical barrier is installed. If the sensors are aligned in a U-shape, series-connection cables can be used between sets (up to 4 sets), so that only one control device is used, drastically reducing the amount of wiring in the panel.

 For a System in which a Workpiece Crosses Detection Zone

(Muting Function)

Enter of a workpiece can be detected by a sensor and the detection zone can be temporarily disabled only while the workpiece is crossing the whole or specified zone. This function is called muting. Muting is when a work piece is allowed to enter into a dangerous zone without tripping the F3SJ and stopping the process. Muting sensors are installed and arranged as to detect the work piece and not a human entering the zone.

Overview and Specifications

 For a System that Has a Machine Within a Detection Zone

 When the Zone Is Fixed (Fixed Blanking Function):

For a system in which a fixed facility such as a worktable or a conveyor interrupts specific beams, the fixed blanking function can be used to disable the specific beams.

 When the Zone Is Movable (Floating Blanking Function):

If a part of the machine can move within the detection zone, the floating blanking function can be used to disable a part of the detection zone. You can configure a number of beams to be interrupted by an object so that the safety function works only if more beams than the number are interrupted.

 Providing Tools for Setting

Two types of tools are provided to change functional setting of F3SJ. (Accessories sold separately) These tools allow you to change functions or check status of F3SJ, taking more advantage of F3SJ.

 Additional Safety Functions

•External test (light emission stop)

•External device monitoring function

•Interlock function

•Fixed/Floating Blanking Function

(Configuration by the setting tool is required)

 Enhanced Mutual Interference Prevention

When the series connection function is used, mutual interference is prevented in up to 400 beams in 4 sets. When F3SJ are used individually, the newly designed interference light detection and cycle shift algorithm prevents mutual interference in up to 3 sets. The effect of interference between the F3SJ and other photoelectric sensors can be reduced by using the setting tool to shorten the operating range.

 Interlock Function

 Auto Reset

1. Open the interlock selection input line, or short-circuit it to 9 to 24V (pin 1/white).

2. Short-circuit the reset input line to 0 to 1.5V (pin 4/yellow).

3. Turn ON the power to the F3SJ.

The F3SJ turns the safety outputs OFF when its power is turned on or its beam is interrupted and holds this state until reset input is applied. This state is called "interlock". Two methods can be used to reset the interlock state: "auto reset that automatically turns control outputs ON when the interrupting object is removed" and "manual reset mode that keeps control outputs OFF until a reset signal is provided, if the interrupting object is removed".

When the interrupting object is removed from the detection zone, the safety outputs automatically turn ON. Auto reset is used on machines where a worker is not able to enter the zone between the detection zone and the hazardous part of the machine.

System Configuration and Functions

 Manual Reset

When a reset input is given while no interrupting object exists in a detection zone, the safety outputs turn ON. This allows the machine to be manually reset using a reset switch after ensuring safety, preventing unexpected startup (EN1037).

A sensor enters interlock state when:

•The power is turned ON (start interlock). This is useful if you want to keep the machine stopped until start inspection is completed after the power is turned ON.

•F3SJ is blocked (restart interlock). After the F3SJ is blocked and the machine stops, the machine can be restarted after safety is ensured.

Manual reset wiring procedure:

1. Connect the interlock selection input line to 0 to 1.5V. (pin 1/ white)

2. Connect the reset input line to 0 to 1.5V via a reset switch (N.O. contact). (pin 4/ yellow)

3. Keep the reset switch contact open, and turn ON the power to the F3SJ.

Wiring for manual reset mode p.27

To reset:

1. Cycle the reset switch to apply a voltage of 0 to 1.5V for 250ms or longer to the reset input, and then

open the switch to apply a 9 to 24V signal or open circuit.

A reset switch must be installed outside of the hazardous zone in a location that provides a clear view of the hazardous zone.

How to reset lockout: See p.33 for basic system and p.55 for muting system

For information about lockout, see p.196

 Waveform of Safety Outputs

When the F3SJ is receiving light, the safety outputs cyclically turn OFF as shown below to test the output circuit. When this OFF signal is fed back, the output circuit is diagnosed as normal. If the output signal does not include an OFF pulse signal, the receiver diagnoses a failure in the output circuit or wiring, and it enters lockout state. (See the table below.)

 Auxiliary Output (Non-Safety Output)

The auxiliary output is used to monitor the status of the F3SJ. This output can be connected to a device such as a relay, indication lamp, programmable controller, etc.

Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety applications. Human body may not be detected when F3SJ fails, resulting in serious injury.

There are 2 auxiliary outputs: auxiliary outputs 1 and 2.Initial setting is assigned as shown below.

•Auxiliary output 1: Inverse of safety output signals

•Auxiliary output 2: Turns ON when 30,000 hours of power-on time passes

 Resetting Lockout

When the cause of the lockout is removed, the lockout condition can be released by using either of the following methods.

•Cycle the power back ON

•Reset input

For manual reset, apply 0 to 1.5V to the reset input line for 100ms or longer, and then open the switch to apply a 9 to 24V signal or open circuit (pin 4/yellow). For auto reset, set the reset line open or to 9 to 24V for 100ms or longer, and then apply 0 to 1.5V again (pin 4/yellow).

Lockout due to an interlock wiring error and an ABC blinking error may not be released by a reset input.

System Configuration and Functions

 External Device Monitoring Function

This function detects malfunctions, such as welding, in external relays (or contactors) that control the hazardous zone of a machine. This function constantly monitors that a specified voltage is applied to the receiver's external device monitoring input line, and enters lockout state when an error occurs. The relay's operational delay can be up to 0.3s(can be changed by the setting tool) without being evaluated as an error. For example, if the (N.C.) contact is not closed and a specified voltage is not applied to the external device monitoring line within 0.3s after the safety outputs turn from ON to OFF, it is evaluated as an error and enters a lockout state. To utilize this function properly, use safety relays and contactors that have forcibly guided or mechanically linked contact structure.

 Wiring

Perform wiring so that 0 to 1.5V is applied to the external device monitoring line via the external relay's normally closed (N.C.) contact. When external device monitoring function is not being used, apply auxiliary output 1 (output operation mode is safety output information and reverse output mode is being enabled) for which setting is not changed to the external device monitoring input or disable external device monitoring function by the setting tool.

- Wiring when external device monitoring function is used p.27

- Wiring when external device monitoring function is not used p.28

 Timing Chart

The F3SJ reads out a device monitoring input value 0.5s or later after the power of the F3SJ is turned ON. If the status of the safety outputs is changed back to the original status within the allowable delay time, the F3SJ will not enter the lockout state.

Muting System

The muting function temporarily disables the safety function of the F3SJ, keeping the safety outputs ON even if beams are blocked. This makes it possible to install safety light curtains for AGV passage, enabling both safety and productivity. When muting, the muting indicator blinks to notify people in the surrounding zone that the safety functions are disabled. Interlock function is being disabled for factory shipment. Using the setting tool allows you to change the setting and enable the interlock function.

Chapter2 Muting System

The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operating.

Muting sensors must be installed so that they can distinguish between the object that is being allowed to pass through the detection zone and a person. If the muting function is activated by detection of a person, it may result in serious injury.

Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers from all the operating positions.

 Muting Sensor

The muting sensor is the sensor that is the trigger for temporarily disabling the F3SJ's safety functions. Through-beam or retro-reflective photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors, or limit switches can be used as muting sensors. (recommendation: OMRON E3Z series, E2E series(3-wire type), D4N series)Use 3-wire type NPN output or N.O. type contact. Two-wire type sensor cannot be used.

 Muting Lamp (External Indicator)

You may need a muting lamp depending on your application or as a result of a risk assessment. Before determining the use of the muting lamp, check laws and regulations of the country or region where the F3SJ-A is used and make sure of full compliance with them. For the muting lamp, use F39-A01P- PAC, or a F39-JJ3N universal indicator cable and a commercially available external indicator. Enabling external indicator output diagnosis function allows breakage and short circuit detection of external indicator or muting lamp connected to the output.

Operation mode configured for F3SJ factory shipment.Turning muting inputs 1 and 2 ON with time difference enables muting function. For details of setting change, see Muting in Chapter 3.

Muting Function p.80

 Start Conditions

If both of the following 2 conditions are present for the F3SJ, muting is activated.

1. No interrupting object is found in the F3SJ's detection zone, and safety outputs are ON.

2. After muting input 1 is turned ON (connected to 0 to 1.5V), muting input 2 is turned ON (connected

to 0 to 1.5V) within the muting input time limit of T1min to T1max (0.03 to 3s).

Muting function can be enabled in up to 0.15s

after the condition 2 is satisfied. If condition 1 is satisfied but the time requirement of condition 2 is not, a muting error occurs, and the receiver's muting error indicator turns ON. However, when there is a muting error, the F3SJ safety function operates and normal operation continues. Muting error can be released by any of following conditions:

•When muting is started by the proper muting sequence (start conditions 1 and 2 are performed in

order).

•Power cycle under muting input 1 and 2 OFF state.

 End Conditions

If either of the following conditions are satisfied, the muting state is released.

•Muting input 1 or 2 turns OFF at T3 or later (0.1s or later).

•The muting continuation time exceeds the muting time limit of T2 (60s). (The PC tool for F3SJ or

setting console can be used to change this time to between 1 and 600 sec., or it can be set to have no time limit.)

System Configuration and Functions

 Installation Standard for Muting Sensors

•Set the muting sensors so that they can detect all of the passing detection objects (palettes, automobiles, etc.). Do not install in a position so that only the front or rear end of the detection object is detected.

•Set the muting sensors so that they detect the objects even when they are loaded on palettes or other transport devices.

•Also, install the F3SJ and muting sensors so that each object passes through all muting sensors before the next object arrives at the first muting sensor. Also, install all F3SJ and muting sensors so that no person is able to accidentally enter the hazardous zone while the muting function is enabled.

•If objects' speeds can vary, muting time limit must be taken into consideration.

 Installation Example 1 of Standard Muting Mode (using 2

muting sensors)

This is an example of 2 retro-reflective type photoelectric sensors used as muting sensors installed in a cross pattern. Use 2 sensors when the length L of the workpieces are not constant or are insufficient.

1. Before a workpiece passes through

The output state of muting sensors A1 and B1 are both OFF (contacts A1 and B1 are open due to muting output), and the safety function of the F3SJ is working. In this example where 2 muting sensors are used, the crossover point of muting sensors A1 and B1 must be located in the hazardous zone. This configuration prevents the muting function from being enabled by a person passing through the crossover point.

System Configuration and Functions

 Override Function

The override function forcibly turns the safety outputs ON when the muting start condition is not satisfied. If a workpiece stops while passing through the detection zone of the F3SJ, as shown below, causing a muting error, the normal state cannot be recovered unless the workpiece is removed from the muting sensors and the detection zone of the F3SJ. However, the override function will mute the safety outputs of the F3SJ so that the conveyor can be restarted to move the workpiece out of the muting sensors and F3SJ detection zone.

The override function can be enabled for up to 60s. (The setting tool can be used to change this time to between 1 and 600 sec.) The muting lamp (external indicator) blinks while overriding. (The setting tool can be used to change this setting.)

The muting and override functions disable the safety functions of the device. You must ensure safety using other method when these functions are operating.

Muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate the state of the muting and override functions must be installed where they are clearly visible to workers from all the operating positions.

Install the switch that uses hold-to-run device such as a spring-return key switch and is installed in a location that provides a clear view of the entire hazardous zone and where it cannot be activated from within the hazardous zone. Make sure that nobody is in the hazardous zone before activating the override function.

 Override Start Conditions

If all of the following conditions are present in the F3SJ, the override function starts. The override function can be put into effect even when there is a muting error.

1. If either muting input 1 or 2 is ON (1 or more muting sensors are turned ON by a workpiece)

2. The F3SJ is blocked and the output is OFF

3. Under the conditions of 1 and 2 shown above, the reset input changes from ON to OFF and the test

input changes from OFF to ON at the same time. The changing time of these 2 inputs must be 0.3s or less.

Fixed Blanking Function

 Overview

Disables F3SJ’s specified beams.

Install protective structure for all zones of disabled zone so that a worker should not be able to approach hazardous zone of a machine without passing through zones disabled by the fixed blanking function. Otherwise it may result in serious injury.

If allowable beams are designated for fixed blanking, detection capability gets larger near an object that interrupts beams. Calculate a safety distance based on the setting. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.

You must ensure that a test rod should be detected in all zones where it should be detected after setting the fixed blanking function. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

 Example

•A belt conveyor must be ignored which always sits in a detection zone.

 Functional Description

• Fixed Blanking Function

A function that disables a part of F3SJ's detection zone. Safety output will be kept ON status even if an object exists in the disabled zone. For beams with fixed blanking designation, one zone is set for beams in concatenation, and up to 5 zones can be set as fixed blanking zones.

• Fixed Blanking Zone Setting

An zone for fixed blanking zone must be configured. It is possible to perform teaching and set the designated beams manually with the interrupting object placed in the appropriate position. In this example shown below, the 5th and 10th beams are set as bottom and top beams respectively.

• Fixed Blanking Monitoring Function

For safety reasons, F3SJ transitions to lockout state*1 if part of an zone configured for fixed blanking receives light. If blanking zone cancellation*2 is set, fixed blanking function is canceled if part of an zone configured for fixed blanking receives light. That is, F3SJ’s all detection zones are enabled. In this case, power cycle enables fixed blanking function again with the same setting as previous one. Turn off the power and on again while all fixed blanking zones are interrupted.

*1 Allowable beams configured on both ends of fixed blanking zone are not monitored. *2 Can be set only by the PC tool for F3SJ

• Allowable Beam

Allowable beam represents a beam out of the target of fixed blanking monitoring. This should be configured for a fixed blanking beam that irregularly switches between light incidence and interruption due to an interrupting object’s oscillation. It can be set for either both or single end of a fixed blanking zone.

See below for an example. In this case, 5th, 6th, and 10th beams are set as allowable beams. These beams repeatedly switch between light incidence and interruption due to an interrupting object's oscillation, but F3SJ keeps safety output ON while fixed blanking function does not work.

 Floating Blanking Function

 Overview

Turns safety output OFF when F3SJ’s detection capability is enlarged or more than one object is detected.

When floating blanking is used, detection capability gets larger. To calculate safety distance, you must use the detection capability under floating blanking. Otherwise a machine may not be stopped before a human body reaches to the hazardous zone, resulting in serious injury.

You must ensure that the system works as you intended after configuring floating blanking. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

 Example

Detection function can be disabled for a moving object with a given width which you do not want to be detected in the detection zone.

 Functional Description

• Floating Blanking Function

Enlarges detection capability to allow an object with a certain size to enter or more than one interruption at the same time.

• Floating Blanking Zone Setting

In the setting console, all beams are set as a floating blanking zone. With the PC tool for F3SJ it is possible to set 1 zone, and a zone range can be specified. In the diagram shown below, the 5th beam is set as the bottom beam and the 10th beam is set as the top beam for a floating blanking zone. Also, with the interrupting object placed in the appropriate position, it is possible to perform teaching and set the designated beams manually.

• Floating Blanking Monitoring Function (Sequential Beam Mode Only)

F3SJ monitors an interrupting object in a floating blanking zone. (If the object is removed or gets smaller, human entry may not be detected by F3SJ, resulting in serious injury) F3SJ enters lockout when an interrupting object is removed. For F3SJ’s operation when an interrupting object is removed, setting is available from disabling monitoring function By setting allowable beams, the monitoring function is enabled and lockout occurs when an interrupting object is smaller than the value that is set. From the graph below, check number of the floating beams as well as that of allowable beams that allow operation without putting the F3SJ into lockout or turning the control output OFF.

Even if the interrupting object is removed, F3SJ will not turn OFF the output or enter lockout. This

function is for PC tool for F3SJ only.

For F3SJ-AN14 with an interrupting object of diameter 20mm, following combinations are available.

•Number of floating beams is 3, monitoring disabled

•Number of floating beams is 3, monitoring enabled (number of allowable beams is 2)

•Number of floating beams is 4, monitoring enabled (number of allowable beams is 3)

If number of floating beams is 3 and monitoring enabled (number of allowable beams is 2) is set, the sensor turns safety output OFF when 22mm or longer zone is interrupted, and locks out when under 14mm is interrupted. (If blanking monitoring function is set to lockout)

 Warning Zone Function

 Overview

Detection zone can be divided into original detection zone and warning zone.

Warning zone output is non-safety output. You must not include it to calculation of safety distance. Otherwise safety distance may be reduced, resulting in serious injury.

A warning zone CANNOT be used for safety applications. Always install your system so that a detection zone should be passed before reaching a source of danger.

Warning zone function can be used only when F3SJ is installed horizontally. It CANNOT be used when F3SJ is installed vertically.

 Functional Description

• Warning Zone Function

Incidence or interruption to a warning zone will not affect safety output operation. When an output operation mode of auxiliary output or external indicator output is configured as a warning zone, its unblocked/blocked status can be output.

- Auxiliary Output (Non-Safety Output) p.94

- External Indicator Output (Non-Safety Output) p.98

• Warning Zone Setting

You can teach a warning zone by interrupting beams to be set as the zone, or manually specify number of beams from top or bottom beam. (figure 1 & 2) For manual specification, configure beam number in case of the PC tool for F3SJ, or number of beams in case of the setting console.

Configuration cannot be executed for cases shown below.

•All beams are configured as a warning zone (figure 4).

•A warning zone is specified without including any of end beams (figure 5)

Note that a warning zone can be configured for all beams if series connected F3SJs have one or more normal beam. (Figure 3)

 Muting Function

 Overview

Configures muting function.

The muting function disables safety functions of the device. You must ensure safety using other measures during this function is enabled.

Install muting sensors so that they can distinguish between a person and an object that is being allowed to pass through the detection zone. If the muting function is activated by the detection of a person, it may result in serious injury.

All muting lamps (external indicators) that indicate state of muting function must be installed where workers can see them from all the operating positions.

Use independent 2 input devices for muting input.

You must install F3SJ, muting sensor, and physical barrier, and configure time settings for muting so that an operator should not enter hazardous zone.

 Example

•Only workpieces should pass through a conveyor entry

•Muting function should work for only a specified zone

•Other muting mode should be configured than standard muting which is not suitable for your application

 Functional Description

• Muting Function

Muting System p.35

• Operation Mode

PC tool for F3SJ allows selection of 3 operation modes for muting function:

1. Standard Muting Mode

2. Exit Only Muting Mode
