Series connection of sensors and interference prevention
Beam axis alignment and operation confirmation
The numbers of sensor heads and controllers can be
freely adjusted to meet the heights and the required
numbers of the protection area.
The beam interruption indicator is incorporated in both
the emitter and receiver. This indicator can be used not
only for operation confirmation but also for beam axis
alignment. Moreover, the stability indicator indicates if
the incident light intensity exceeds 150 % in stable
operation.

Line restarts smoothly after being stopped while muting control was active
In case the sensor head has been interrupted by
an object or in case there is an emergency stop
before the muting conditions have been
established, all the sensor heads will be
temporarily deactivated following by a smooth
restart.
(Ex.) When the power turns off while the sensor head has been interrupted by an object.
Previous models Removal of object required
Informs all kinds of operation conditions
In case the muting lamp that is connected to the controller
breaks, an alarm will go off. Also, auxiliary outputs that link to
the muting function, override function, and control outputs
(OSSD) are incorporated.

PRECAUTION FOR PROPER USE
Muting function (Only for ST4-C12EX)
• Incorrect using of the muting control may
cause accidents. Please understand the
muting control fully, and use it. As for the
muting control, the following international
standards define the requirements.
ISO 13849-1 (EN 954-1 / JIS B 9705-1)
IEC 61496-1 (UL 61496 / JIS B 9704-1)
IEC 60204-1 (JIS B 9960-1)
EN 415-4
ANSI B11.19-1990
ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999
• Use the muting control while the machine
cycle is not in danger mode. Maintain safety
with the other measure while the muting
control is activated.
• For the application that the muting control is
activated when an object passes through the
sensor, place the muting sensor so that the
conditions for the muting control cannot be
satisfied by intrusion of personnel when the
object is passing through the sensor or the
object is not passing through it.
• The muting lamp should be installed in a
position where it can always be seen by
operators who set or adjust the machine.
• Be sure to check the operation of the muting
function before its use. Furthermore, check
the condition of the muting lamp (cleanliness
or brightness, etc.).
• This function turns the safety function of ST4-C12EX into
invalid temporarily.
• When the control outputs (OSSD1, OSSD2) are ON, this
function is available for passing the object through the
sensing area of the device without stopping the device.
• The muting function becomes valid when all the
conditions listed below are satisfied:
• The control outputs (OSSD1, OSSD2) shall be ON.
• The incandescent lamp with 1 to 10 W shall be
connected to the muting lamp output.
• The muting inputs between S-A and S-B (between S-C
and S-D, or between S-E and S-F) shall be changed
from OFF (open) to ON. The time difference from OFF
to ON shall be 0 to 3 sec.
• However, if exceeding 180 sec. time limit, the muting
function will be invalid. In addition, the muting valid time
can also be changed to unlimited. For details on the
setting method, refer to the “Muting pattern selection
function” (p.14).
• The following devices, photoelectric sensor with
semiconductor output, inductive proximity sensor, position
switch on NO (Normally Open) contacting point, etc. are

• Be sure to use the muting sensor that satisfies
the “Specification for muting sensor” above.
If using the other muting sensor not satisfying
the specification above, the muting function
might become valid with the timing that the
machine designer cannot expect and could
result in death or serious injury.
• Make sure to connect the muting lamp and
activate the muting lamp diagnosis function.
For the muting lamp diagnosis function, refer to
“Muting lamp diagnosis function” (p.15).
• It is recommended that two muting lamps
should be connected in parallel. In this case,
take care not to exceed 10 W.
• The muting function can be used continuously even if
after making the muting lamp diagnosis function invalid.
However, in case of not activating the muting lamp
diagnosis function, perform the risk assessment and
confirm the standards or regulations applicable in each
region or country before using the muting function.
For details, refer to “Muting lamp diagnosis function”
(p.15).

Notes: 1) This is when the muting lamp diagnosis function is valid. If the
muting lamp does not light up even if 1 sec. is passed, the muting
function becomes invalid. When the muting lamp diagnosis
function is invalid, the muting function becomes valid 50 ms after
the input conditions of the muting sensor A (A’) and B (B’) were
satisfied.
For setting the muting lamp diagnosis function, refer to “Muting
lamp diagnosis function” (p.15).
2) The muting time can be set to 180 sec. or no time restriction.
For the setting method, refer to “Muting pattern selection

Override function (Only for ST4-C12EX)
• The override function forcibly turns the safety function
of ST4-C12EX into invalid.
• This function is used for the following cases: when the
customer who uses the muting function needs to start
the device with the control outputs (OSSD1, OSSD2)
be OFF status, when the device is required to continue
operating even though the muting sensor becomes
valid after the muting sensor is turned ON at the
starting of line.
• The override function becomes valid when all the
conditions listed below are satisfied:
• The incandescent lamp with 1 to 10 W shall be
connected to the muting lamp output.
• The signal shall be input to either or both of the
muting inputs between S-A and S-B (between S-C
and S-D, or S-E and S-F).
• The emission halt input shall be opened and the
override input shall be short-circuited within 1 sec.
(3 sec. continuously).
• If one of the three conditions above becomes invalid
or exceeds the override valid time 60 sec. or 600 sec.
(Note), the override function becomes invalid.
• The override function is disabled for all sensor heads
which are connected to the ST4-C12EX. If the muting
area is divided into two areas, be sure to design the

Notes: 1) The override function turns ON when either opening the emission halt
input, or short-circuiting the override input, whichever operates first.
2) This is when the muting lamp diagnosis function is valid. If the muting
lamp does not light up even if 4 sec. is passed, the override function
becomes invalid. When the muting lamp diagnosis function is invalid,
the muting function becomes valid 3 sec. after the input conditions of
the muting sensor A (A’) and B (B’) were satisfied. For setting of the
muting lamp diagnosis function, refer to “Muting lamp diagnosis
function” (p.15).
3) Override time can be set to either 60 sec. or 600 sec.
For setting, refer to “Muting pattern selection function” (p.14).
4) Total time of the reset waiting time and the override execute time is the override valid time.
The override function will not be performed until the reset waiting time is passed after the
override condition is satisfied (after starting the override valid time).

• Be sure to install protection structure around the
machine so that the operator must pass through
the sensing area of this device to reach the
dangerous parts of the machine.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious
injury.
• Do not use any reflective type or retroreflective
type arrangement.
• Installing multiple sets of this device produces a
non-sensing area or causes mutual interference,
which may result in death or serious injury.

• Beam received / interrupted condition of the connected
ST4-A□, or sensor fault can be checked by ST4-C12EX.
When ST4-A□ is in the beam received condition, the
muting input indicator (orange) lights up. However, the
muting input indicator (orange) remains OFF if ST4-A□ is in
the beam interrupted condition or ST4-A□ is not connected.
The relation between addresses of ST4-A□ and the
muting input indicator (orange) is as follows.
Calculate the safety distance correctly, and always
maintain the distance which is equal to or greater
than the safety distance, between the sensing
area of this device and the dangerous parts of the
machine. If the safety distance is miscalculated or if
sufficient distance is not maintained, the machine will
not stop quickly before reaching to the dangerous
parts, which can result in death or serious injury.

PRECAUTION FOR PROPER USE
• The safety distance is the minimum distance that must be
maintained between the ST4-A□ and the dangerous parts of
the machine so that the machine can be stopped before a
human body or an object can reach the dangerous parts.
• The safety distance is calculated based on the equation
described in the next page when a person moves
perpendicular to the sensing area of the area sensor.

S=K×T+C
• Equation ①
S: Safety distance (mm)

surface and the dangerous parts of the machine
K: Intrusion velocity of operator’s body or object (mm/sec.)
Taken as 1,600 (mm/sec.) for calculation

Before designing the system, refer to the relevant
standards of the region where this device is to be
used, and then install this device. Furthermore, the
equation described in the following is to be used only
in case the intrusion direction is perpendicular to the
sensing area. In case the intrusion direction is not
perpendicular to the sensing area, be sure to refer to
the relevant standard (regional standard, specification
of the machine, etc.) for details of the calculation.
The max. response time of the machine is from the
point that the machine receives the halt signal from
this device to the point that the dangerous part of the
machine stops. The max. response time of the machine
should be timed with the machine to be actually used.
For use in the United States of America (as per ANSI/RIA R15.06)
Ds = K × T + Dpf
• Equation ②
Ds: Safety distance (mm)
Minimum required distance between the sensing area
surface and the dangerous parts of the machine
K: Intrusion speed {Recommended value in OSHA is 63
(inch/sec.) [≈ 1,600 (mm/sec.)] }
ANSI/RIA R15.06 does not define the intrusion speed
“K”. When determining K, consider possible factors
including physical ability of operators.
T: Response time of total equipment (sec.) including OFF
response time of this device: 25 ms.
Dpf: Additional distance calculated from the size of the
minimum sensing object of the sensor (mm)
ANSI/RIA R15.06 stipulates the installation
requirements as follows.
Since the calculation above is performed by taking
1 (inch) = 25.4 (mm), there is a slight difference between
the representation in (mm) and that in (inch). Refer to the
relevant standard for details.
