SERIES
Type 4
Passes global safety
standards!
Global safety
The SF2-EH series complies with the IEC 61496-1/2 international standards, so that it can be used in different countries
throughout the world.
• CE marking based on Machine Directive and EMC Directive has been obtained.
[Type 4 based on IEC 61496-1/2, EN 61496-1, and Control Category 4 based on EN 954-1]
• C-UL US listings (UL 61496-1/2) which are required for use in the United States and Canada have been obtained.
• This series is also compatible with equipment conforming to OSHA (1910.212/217), ANSI (B11.1lB11.20) and ANSI / RIA
15.06 regulations.
Pursuit of safety
It uses two independent CPUs, which mutually check the
safety conditions. High reliability fail-safe design is realized
by incorporating dual circuits for signal processing and
output.
•
•
Further,
in order to ensure safety, FMEA (Failure Mode &
•
•
Effects Analysis) has been used to prove safe operation.

Safety design of the SF2-EH series
The sensor unit continually performs self-checking on its
internal circuitry, its cable integrity and even checks for
interference from extraneous light.
In the event of any fault or malfunction, the sensor
outputs the same signal (OFF signal) as is produced
during actual beam detection operation.
SF2-EH
Exclusive controller not required
Wide area: 1,580 mm10 m 62.205 in32.808 ft
Since an exclusive controller is not required, there is no need to provide space for
it. Further, the PNP output equivalent type can be combined with an optional
safety relay unit (SF-AC) to create an intrusion detection system.
It realizes a wide sensing area with a
protective height of 1,580 mm 62.205 in
max. (80 beam channels) and a long
operating range of 10 m 32.808 ft.
Just one sensor can cover an area
where previously 2 sensors had to be
used.
Sensors connectable in series
Wide variety
Using the optional cable (SF2-CSL)
for series connection, maximum 4 sets
of sensors with a total of 192 beam
channels can be connected in series.
For example, in case of mounting the
sensors on the front, as well as, both
the sides of a danger region, previously
separate wiring was required for 3 sets
of sensors. But now, wiring equivalent
to that for only 1 set is required, thus
saving troublesome wiring and cost.
There are 13 models of sensors having
a
protective
height
ranging
from 220 mm 8.661 in to 1,580 mm
62.205 in (12 to 80 beam channels).
The sensors can be selected to suit
the monitoring area of the used
equipment.
Further, PNP output equivalent type,
as well as, NPN output equivalent type
are available.
No interference
• Up to 12 sets of sensors can be
mounted close together
• In case of series connection or parallel
connection, interference can be prevented
for up to 4 sets, respectively. Further, in
case of series and parallel mixed
connection, up to 12 sets (total 192 beam
channels) can be mounted close together.
• Effective aperture angle 2.5 or less
• Since the effective aperture angle is
narrow ( 2.5 or less), it reduces
the effect of reflection from walls, etc.,
and interference from extraneous
light.
• Convenient slit mask available
• By using the optional slit mask
(OS-SF2-H), the amount of beam
emitted or received can be restrained
to reduce the effect of extraneous
light from other sensors, etc.
Easy maintenance
Solid aluminum case
Mounting bracket enables easy beam alignment
An optional front protection cover
(FC-SF2-H) is available, so that the
sensing face of the sensor can be
protected in an adverse environment.
All models have a solid aluminum case
with a thickness of 3 mm 0.118 in. This
case is much stronger than previous
cases, so that the sensors can be
used with even greater confidence.
The beam alignment is easy since
angle adjustment is possible with the
sensor mounting bracket (MS-SF2-1).

Slit mask
Front protection bracket
Laser alignment tool
It protects front lens.
The slit mask restrains the amount of beam
emitted or received and hence reduces the
interference between neighbouring sensors.
It is also used in cases when the beam intensity
is too strong penetrating through the sensing
object.
However, the operating range reduces when the
slit mask is used.
It protects front face from

this sensor away from the reflective surfaces, assuming an effective
aperture angle of 3 to provide for misalignment, etc., during
installation.
Mounting
• The minimum bending radius of the cable is R35 mm
R1.378 in.
Mount the sensor considering cable bending radius.
Mounting of sensor mounting bracket (MS-SF2-1)
• Choose the mounting direction for the sensor mounting
bracket based on the mounting direction (side or back),
and temporarily tighten the brackets with the two hexagonsocket-head bolts with washers for adjusting the mounting
angle (M4, length 10 mm 0.394 in). Tighten it securely,
after beam alignment. The tightening torque should be
1.2 N
m or less.
Note: The above drawing shows the intermediate supporting bracket
mounted on the emitter. In case of mounting on the receiver, note that
the intermediate supporting bracket is upside down.
Mounting of cable for series connection (SF2-CSL)
1 Remove four M4 screws (length 10 mm 0.394 in) on the
main sensor and the sub sensor as given below.
2 As shown below, mount the cable for series connection
at the place on the main sensor and the sub sensor from
where the screws have been removed.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Test input (emission halt) function
Connection
• The emission is halted when the test input (emission halt
input) wire (pink) is connected toV or kept open. The test
input (emission halt input) is useful for a start-up check since
the sensing output can be switched ON / OFF without the
sensing object.
mSignal condition
Non-voltage contact or
NPN open-collector transistor
Series connection
[4 sets max. (192 beam channels max.) connectable]
• When the danger region can
be approached from two or
more directions, multiple sets
of emitters and receivers
should be connected in
series. When a beam of any
set is interrupted, the output
turns OFF.
• Test input (emission halt input)
Low (0 V): Emission
High (V or open): Emission halt
Note: When test input (emission halt) function is not used, make sure to
connect the test input (emission halt input) wire (pink) to 0 V.
Interference prevention function
• Interference can be prevented between 4 sets max.
(192 beam channels max.) for series connection, 4 sets max.
(192 beam channels max.) for parallel connection, and 12
sets max. (192 beam channels max.) for series and parallel
mixed connection. In this case, connect the respective
interference () (gray) and interference () (gray / black) of
the adjacent sensors.
Sensor A
Sensor B
Parallel connection
[4 sets max. (192 beam channels max.) connectable]
• In case there are two, or more, danger regions which can
be approached from a single direction only, multiple sets
of emitters and receivers can be connected in parallel by
connecting their interference prevention wires to individually monitor the danger regions. Since the outputs are separate, only the output of the sensor whose beams are
interrupted is turned OFF.
Sensor A
Sensor B
Master / slave selection input
• In case of parallel connection, or series and parallel mixed
connection, before switching on the power supply, connect the
master / slave selection input (violet) of Sensor A, as
master, to 0 V and connect the master / slave selection
input (violet) of Sensor B, as slave, toV or open.
The master / slave selection is done only once at the time
of switching on of the power supply. If selection is done
after switching on of the power supply, it does not change.
Further, if the master / slave selection input is kept open
when the sensor is set as slave, ensure to insulate it.
• In case of series connection or when using 1 set, connect the
master / slave selection input (violet), as master, to 0 V.
Sensor A
Serial / parallel mixed connection
[12 sets max. (192 beam channels max.) connectable]
• In case there are two, or more, danger regions which can be
approached from two or more directions, multiple sets of emitters and receivers can be connected in series and parallel
mixed combination. For the sensors connected in series, the
output turns OFF if the beams of any of these sensors are
interrupted. For the sensors connected in parallel, the output
of only the sensor whose beams are interrupted turns OFF.
