x User in charge
㨯 The user in charge has responsible to indicate the person to take the training required for the safety system,
using method, installation, operation, and maintenance.
㨯 This device is used and managed by the specialist, never use this device by other operator.
x Specialist
㨯 A person who is appropriately educated, has widespread knowledge and experience, and can solve
various problems which may arise during work.
x Operator
㨯 The operator should read this instruction manual thoroughly, understand its contents, and perform
operations following the procedures described in this manual, for the correct operation of this device.
㨯 In case this device does not perform properly, the operator should report this to the person in charge and
stop the machine operation immediately. The machine must not be operated until correct performance of
this device has been confirmed.
x Fixed blanking function, floating blanking function
㨯 With the fixed blanking function, this device prevents the person or object from entering into the dangerous
parts through the invalid detecting area. However, even though this device can prevent the interference of
the person or object into the invalid detecting area with the fixed blanking function, there might exist the
more space between the sensor and already-existence object. Therefore, set the protecting structure so as
not to exist any space in the dangerous detecting area. Detecting human body in the detecting area could
result in serious injury or death.
㨯 With the floating blanking function, this device changes the size of the min. detectable object of the light
curtain that is pre-set the function. When setting or changing the function, calculate and measure the safety
distance again, and check that the device has the wider space than the safety distance between the
dangerous zone and the detecting are of the light curtain.
If the sufficient distance is not maintained, the machine will not stop before its dangerous parts are reached,
which can result in serious injury or death.
㨯 Set and change the function of the device following the relative laws, regulation, and standard without fail.

CHAPTER 3 FUNCTIONS
3-1 Functional Descriptions <When Using with Light Curtain SF4B Series Only>
This section describes each function.
When using with SF-C14EX, refer to ‘3-2 Functional Descriptions <When Using in Combination
with Application Expansion Unit SF-C14EX>’.
If configuration of the system is changed (change of the SF-C14EX to be used / not to be used,
replace the sensor etc.), set the function setting again.
3-1-1 Fixed Blanking Function
This is a function that the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of SF4B series is not turned off, even if the
specified beam channel(s) is blocked off.
This is useful when an obstacle always blocks off the specific beam channel(s).
There are ‘CLR’, ‘AUTO’ and ‘MANUAL’ for the setting method.
CLR setting : The fixed blanking function is to be invalid (Factory setting).
AUTO setting : The currently blocked off beam channels are set as ‘effective beam channels’ in the
fixed blanking function. Be sure to set this function in the state where the emitter emits
light. Furthermore, this function cannot be set in the state where all beam channels
receive lights / are blocked.
Manual setting : Each beam channel can be set to ‘effective / ineffective’ in the fixed blanking function
respectively.
When the fixed blanking function is used, the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of SF4B series
is not turned off even if the particular beam channels are blocked. By using a protection
structure etc., make the hazardous area of the press machine inaccessible to personnel
through the sensing area of the particular beam channels.
When the effective beam channel(s) in the fixed blanking function receive(s) the beam(s) from
the emitter, the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of the SF4B series is fixed to ‘OFF’. In this
case, check the mounting condition and turn the power on again.
(Even if the power is turned on again, the fixed blanking function still stays effective.)
When the fixed blanking function is used, the received light intensity indicator of SF4B series
is turned off regardless of the received light intensity.
SUNX Limited MJE-SFBHC No.6085-02
11
3-1-2 Floating Blanking Function
s
This function is set in each sensor.
If the number of the blocked beam channels is less than the set number of the beam channels, the control
output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of SF4B series is not turned ‘OFF’.
This function is useful when an obstacle moves within the detecting area.
The factory setting of this function is ‘ineffective’.
The following items can be set.
Set number of beam channels
Selectable among 0 (the floating blanking function is ineffective), 1, 2 or 3.
Ineffective setting of both end beam channel
‘Effective’ / ‘Ineffective’ of the floating blanking function for the both ends the beam channels can be selected.
SET (Effective) : The floating blanking function becomes ineffective for the both end beam channels.
In case either end of the beam channel is blocked, the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2)
of SF4B series is turned ‘OFF’ regardless of the set number of the beam channels.
CLR (Ineffective) : The floating blanking function becomes effective for all beam channels including
both ends beam channels.
Non-serial beam channel setting
SET (Effective) : Even if the beam channels are blocked discontinuously in the set beam channels,
the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of SF4B series is turned ‘ON’.
(Discontinuous mode)
CLR (Ineffective) : When the beam channels are blocked discontinuously even in the set beam channels,
the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) of SF4B series is turned ‘OFF’.
(Continuous mode)
When using the floating blanking function, the size of the minimum sensing object become
larger, and the safety distance is longer as well. For the calculation of the safety distance,
refer to the instruction manual enclosed with SF4B series.
Before designing the system, refer to the relevant laws and standards of the region where
SF4B series is to be used and then install SF4B series and this device.
