WARNING Do not apply the F3W-E as safety mechanisms used in pressing machines or any other safety mechanisms for protecting the human body from danger. (1) Do not apply the F3W-E as safety mechanisms used in pressing machines, shears, rolling machines, spinning machines, cotton mill machines, or robots for the protection of an operator's hands and body. (2) The F3W-E is designed for detection of the human body or moving objects in the detection area but not for protection against danger. (3) The F3W-E or any product incorporating the F3W-E may be exported to any country. Should the F3W-E cause any problem conflicting with local laws or related to product liability locally, however, OMRON shall, without exception, assume no responsibility for it. CAUTION Before using more than one F3W-E Sensor in parallel or series, take necessary countermeasures against mutual interference so that the Sensors will not malfunction. Refer to Mutual Interference Prevention Function on the right. Precautions for Safe Use ● Operating Environment • Do not use the Sensor in an environment containing flammable or volatile gases. • Do not use the Sensor underwater. • Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor. • Always turn OFF the system power before installing or replacing the Sensor. Precautions for Correct Use Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed product ratings. ● System Design Mutual Interference Prevention Function 1. Mutual Interference Prevention with Sets of Two to Four Sensors Set these Sensors to different frequencies with the frequency selector. Refer to Setting Method on page 6. If the mutual interference prevention function is not used, and there are two Sensors with the same frequency setting, a beam from the Emitter of one Sensor may hit the Receiver of the other Sensor, resulting in malfunction. This function cannot prevent mutual interference between the F3W-E Sensor and a Photoelectric Sensor of a different model. 2. Five or More Sets of Sensors: When 5 or more sets of Sensors are used in parallel, mutual interference may result in malfunction. Take the following measures to prevent mutual interference, and check for mutual interference. • The distance between two adjacent sets of Sensors must be at least l1 or l2, which does not cause mutual interference between two Sensors with the same frequency setting. l1 or l2 is at least 1.5 times the distance shown in Parallel Operating Range of the Engineering Data. Vertical Installation Emitter Horizontal Installation Receiver l2 l1 Emitter Emitter Receiver Emitter Receiver Receiver Distance X Distance X • Install a light baffle so that there will not be mutual interference between Sensors with the same frequency setting. (See Figure 1.) Light reflections from the wall or floor may go around a light baffle and reach the Receivers. Install a light baffle so that it will also block any light reflections. (See Figure 2.) Correct Emitter Wall Receiver Emitter Receiver Emitter Receiver Light baffle Incorrect Light baffle Emitter Wall Receiver Emitter Receiver Emitter Receiver Light baffle (Figure 1) (Figure 2) 7 F3W-E ● Wiring Precautions Connection • Before turning ON the power, make sure that the supply voltage is within the maximum allowable voltage range. • Be very careful not to get metal chips in the connector, especially during wiring. • As a general rule, do not wire high-voltage lines or power lines along with the lines of the F3W-E in the same conduit. Otherwise, the F3W-E may be damaged or malfunction due to inductive noise. • Use an extension cable with a cross-sectional area of 0.3 mm2 min. and length of 100 m max. • Incorrect wiring may damage the equipment. Make sure that the cable length and routing are appropriate to prevent the connectors and cables from getting disconnected. • Applying excessive force to the mode selector switch may result in damage. Do not apply a force of more than 5 N. ● Adjustment Operation and Stability Status Display • The following illustration shows the indicator status corresponding to each incident level. • Install the Receiver so that the green stability indicators are both ON in light receiving status. Stable light-receiving* area Unstable light-receiving area Light-shielded area Amount of light received Stability indicator (green) Operation indicator (orange) Light-ON Dark-ON ON Operating level × 1.2 ON OFF OFF ON Operating level OFF * If the Receiver is set to the stable light-receiving area, it will become more resistant to environmental fluctuations such as temperature, voltage, dust, and setting deviation after installation. For applications where a stable light-receiving area is not obtained, attention must be paid to environmental fluctuations. Cables Make sure that the bending radius is 25 mm or more. ● Installation Precautions Installation • Install the Sensor so that its sensing face will not receive light from the sun, fluorescent lamps, incandescent lamps, and other light sources. • Do not strike the Sensor with a hammer or any other tool during installation, otherwise the internal circuits of the Sensor may be damaged. • Install the Emitter and Receiver in the same orientation as shown in the following figure. (The cables must be in the same direction.) Emitter Receiver Correct Emitter Receiver Incorrect • Use M4 screws to secure the Sensor body. • Secure the case to a tightening torque of 0.5 N·m or less. Reflection from Wall or Floor If the Emitter and Receiver are installed as shown in the following illustration, all the axes may not be interrupted due to light reflection from the floor or wall. Make sure that the Emitter and Receiver detect the sensing object properly before using the F3W-E in actual operation.
