A muting control function is provided to increase both safety and productivity
The safety light curtain is equipped with
a muting control function that causes the
line to stop only when a person passes
through the safety light curtain, and does
not stop the line when an object passes
through. The muting sensors and muting
lamps can be connected directly to the
safety light curtain so that a exclusive
controller is not required for muting. This
both reduces costs and increases safety
and productivity.

Beam-axis alignment indicators show the incident light position at a glance
Beam-axis alignment indicators display the beam channels of the safety light curtain in four blocks. When the beam
channel at the bottommost channel (or topmost channel), which is used as a reference for beam-axis alignments, is
correctly aligned, the LED blinks red. After this, each block lights red as the beam axes successively become aligned.
When all channel beam axes are aligned, all LEDs light green. The display also has an additional stability indicator
(STB) so that setup can be carried out with greater stability.

Mutual interference is reduced without

Reducing the number of malfunctions
caused by extraneous light
The safety light curtain is equipped with the ELCA
(Extraneous Light Check & Avoid) function. Because
it automatically shifts the scan timing of the safety
light curtain in order to avoid interference, it is not
necessary to wire interference prevention lines between
machineries.
Double scanning method and retry processing are
two new functions exclusive to our company, which
successfully eliminate the effects of momentary
extraneous light from peripheral equipment. The
reduction in operating errors caused by extraneous light
reduces frequent stopping of machinery.

Specific beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B / SF4B-G series incorporates a fixed blanking function.
A variable number of beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B / SF4B-G series incorporates a floating blanking function.
The SF4B / SF4B-G series is
equipped with a fixed blanking
function which allows specific
beam channels to be selectively
interrupted without causing the
control output (OSSD) to output
the OFF signal. This function
is convenient for use with
applications in which certain fixed
obstacles tend to block specific
beam channels.
Furthermore, this function provides
greater safety as the control
output (OSSD) will automatically
output the OFF signal if the fixed
obstacles are subsequently
removed from the sensing area.
1, 2 or 3 non-specified
beam channels can be
deactivated. If the number
of beam channels that are
blocked is less than or
equal to the set number of
beam channels, then the
control output (OSSD) will
not output the OFF signal.
This function is useful in the
event when the positions of
obstacles within the sensing
area must be changed
during object rearrangement,
or when an object passes
through the safety light
curtain’s sensing area.

Differences from standard type
The robust type SF4B-□G□ is different from the standard type SF4B-□ in the following ways:
• Sensing width (protective height) (Note 1) • Profile • Net weight • Mounting bracket • Front protection cover
• Laser alignment tool • Noncompliant with Japanese and Korean press standard (Note 2)
• Noncompliant with Korean regulations
Other specifications, input/output circuits, and options are the same as for the standard type.
Notes: 1) In the case of “When used as safety device for presses in China”, there is no change in the protective height.
2) SF4B-H□G-01 does not comply with Korean press standard only.
3) In the case of “When used as safety device for presses in China” the distance between the center of the first beam axis and the center of the last
beam axis of the device becomes the protective height. For details, refer to “Definition of sensing heights” (p.645).

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Interlock function
• The selection of manual reset / automatic reset is available
by applying the interlock input wiring. The interlock
becomes available by selecting manual reset.
(Refer to the SF4B / SF4B-G instruction manual for details.)
Emission halt function
• This function stops the emission process of the emitter.
You can select whether emission is on or halted by
means of the connection status for the emission halt
input / reset input wire (pink).
• During emission halt, the control outputs (OSSD 1,
OSSD 2) become OFF status.
• By using this function, malfunction due to extraneous
noise or abnormality in the control outputs (OSSD 1,
OSSD 2) and the auxiliary output can be determined
even from the machinery side.
• Normal operation is restored when the emission halt input /
reset input wire (pink) is connected to 0 V or +V.
(Refer to the SF4B / SF4B-G instruction manual for details.)
Auxiliary output (Non-safety output)
• This safety light curtain incorporates the auxiliary output
(yellowgreen / black) for the non-safety output. The auxiliary
output is incorporated with the emitter.
(Refer to the SF4B / SF4B-G instruction manual for details.)
External device monitoring function
• This is the function for checking whether the external safety
relay connected to the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) perform
normally in accordance with the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2)
or not. Monitor the contacting point “b” of the external safety relay,
and if any abnormality such as deposit of the contacting point,
etc. is detected, change the status of the safety light curtain into
lockout one, and turn OFF the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2).
(Refer to the SF4B / SF4B-G instruction manual for details.)
Muting function
• This function turns the safety function of this safety
light curtain into disabled temporarily. When the control
outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) are ON, this function is
available for passing the workpiece through the sensing
area of the safety light curtain without stopping the
machinery.
The muting function becomes valid when all the
conditions listed below are satisfied.
However, this function connot be used with the
SF4B-□-03.
1 The control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) shall be ON.
2 The incandescent lamp with 3 to 10 W shall be
connected to the muting lamp output (red).
3 The output of the muting sensors A and B shall be

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• For calculating the safety distance “S”, there are the
following five cases.
First calculate by substituting the value K = 2,000
(mm/sec.) in the equation above. Then, classify the
obtained value of “S” into three cases, 1) S < 100, 2)
100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500. For Case 3) S > 500,
recalculate by substituting the value K = 1,600 (mm/
sec.). After that, classify the calculation result into
two cases, 4) S ≤ 500 and 5) S > 500. For details,
refer to the instruction manual enclosed with this
product. For calculating “Tm” (maximum halt time of
the machinery), use a special device called a “brake
monitor”.
When this device is used in the “PSDI mode”, an
appropriate safety distance “S” must be calculated.
For details, be sure to refer to the standards or
regulations applicable in each region or country.
• Equation
S=K×T+C
S: Safety distance (mm)
K: Intrusion velocity of operator’s body or object (mm/sec.)
Taken as 1,600 (mm/sec.) for calculation
T: R
esponse time of total equipment (sec.)
T = Tm + TSF4B
Tm: Maximum halting time of machinery (sec.)
TSF4B: Response time of the SF4B / SF4B-G series (sec.)
C: Additional distance calculated from the size of the
minimum sensing object of the safety light curtain (mm)
C = 850 (mm) (Constant)
For use based on ANSI B11.19
• Equation 2
S = K× (TS + TC + TSF4B + Tbm) + Dpf
S: S
afety distance (mm)
Minimum required distance between the sensing area
surface and the dangerous parts of the machine
K: Intrusion velocity {Recommended value in OSHA is 63
(inch/sec.) ≈ 1,600 (mm/sec.)}
ANSI B11.19 does not define the intrusion velocity
“K”. When determining “K”, consider possible factors
including physical ability of operators.
TS: Halting time calculated from the operation time of the
control element (air valve, etc.) (sec.)
TC: Maximum response time of the control circuit required
for functioning the brake (sec.)
TSF4B: Response time of safety light curtain (sec.)
Tbm: Additional halting time tolerance for the brake
monitor (sec.)
The following equation holds when the machine is
equipped with a brake monitor.
Tbm = Ta – (Ts + Tc)
Ta: Setting time of brake monitor (sec.)
When the machine is not equipped with a brake
monitor, it is recommended that 20 % or more of
(Ts + Tc) is taken as additional halting time.
Dpf: Additional distance calculated from the size of the
minimum sensing of the safety light curtain (mm)
SF4B-F□(G): Dpf = 23.8 mm 0.937 in
SF4B-H□(G□): Dpf = 61.2 mm 2.409 in
SF4B-A□(G): Dpf = 129.2 mm 5.087 in
Dpf =
3.4 × (d – 0.276) (inch)
≈ 3.4 × (d – 7) (mm)
d: Minimum sensing object diameter 0.552 (inch) ≈ 14 (mm) SF4B-F□(G)
Minimum sensing object diameter 0.985 (inch) ≈ 25 (mm) SF4B-H□(G□)
Minimum sensing object diameter 1.772 (inch) ≈ 45 (mm) SF4B-A□(G)

Handy-controller
This device enables to set each function
using the handy-controller SFB-HC (optional).
(However, a handy-controller cannot be used
with the SF4B-□-01, the SF4B-□-03
and the SF-C14EX-01.) Among the functions,
the contents related to the safety distance such
as the size of the minimum sensing object and
response time are varied depending on the
setting condition. When setting each function,
re-calculate the safety distance, and make
enough space larger than the calculated safety
distance. Failure to do so might cause the
accident that the device cannot stop quickly
before reaching the dangerous area of the
machinery, resulting in the serious injury or
death.
• Refer to the instruction manual of the handy-controller
for details of the function settings for using handycontroller SFB-HC (optional).
