Plastic × metal
Maximum protection height of 1,943.4 mm 76.512 in
The SF4B-C series features a proprietary double
structure of a “plastic body” with a “metal inner frame”
which lightens the weight while maintaining the durability.
Despite its compact, plastic body, the SF4B-C series
features a metal inner frame that increases toughness
and also keeps its enclosure not to curve.
Protective heights range from 263.4 mm to 1,943.4 mm
10.370 in to 76.512 in.

Large multi-purpose indicator
SF4B-□CA-J05
The SF4B-C series incorporates a large multi-purpose indicator (orange) positioned around workers’ eye level. The
indicator shows the presence of the light curtain, helping to prevent unintentional beam interruption. The indicator can
be used in a variety of applications such as a muting indicator and work indicator.

Handy-controller SFB-HC (optional) offers easy access to settings for a range of functionality
Muting control function for individual beams:
Limit the muting area
SF4B-□CA-J05
Fixed blanking function:
Choose active beam channels
The SFB-HC handy-controller (optional) allows to
perform muting control for certain beams only. Since
beam channels can be specified, so there is no need
to install a separate guard to prevent intrusions. For
example, according to the height of a sensing object,
when muting control from the lowermost beam channel
to the 10th beam channel is activated, the light curtain
will detect any beam interruption at the 11th or higher
beam channel as a human entry and stop the machinery.
The SFB-HC handy-controller provides a fixed blanking
function that prevents control output (OSSD) from
turning off even if certain beam channels are interrupted.
This function is convenient for applications where an
obstacle always interrupts certain beam channels.
Additionally, it is safe since control output (OSSD) is
forcibly turned off in the event the obstruction moves
outside the detection area.

Floating blanking function:
Disable unspecified beams
Use output and indicators to achieve preventive maintenance when the incident light intensity gets unstable
The floating blanking function allows to disable up
to three unspecified beam channels. Control output
(OSSD) will not turn off as long as the number of
interrupted beam channels is less than the set number
of beam channels. This function is convenient when an
obstruction moves inside the detection area during setup
changes or when loading materials within the detection
area of light curtain.
By setting the auxiliary output switching function to off
or on when light reception becomes unstable, the light
curtain provides notification in the event of a reduction in
the incident light intensity due to beam misalignment or
dirt via auxiliary output (non-safety output) in addition to
the incident light intensity indicator.

Extraneous light check & avoid (ELCA) function
Since a single model number can be switched between
PNP and NPN input, fewer model numbers need to be
registered.
The ELCA function reduces interference without an
interference prevention line.
External device monitor function
Beam-axis alignment indicator
External devices (such as safety relays, etc.) can be
directly connected to the handy-controller without any
dedicated unit, simplifying installation, reducing costs,
and helping to avoid various problems.
Beam-axis alignment indicators are indicated in 4 blocks,
allowing to see at a glance where light is being received.

Dpf = 3.4 × (d - 0.276) (inch)
≈ 3.4 × (d - 7) (mm)
d: Minimum sensing object diameter 0.985 (inch) ≈ 25 (mm)
[SF4B-H□C(A-J05)]
Minimum sensing object diameter 1.772 (inch) ≈ 45 (mm)
[SF4B-A□C(A-J05)]
• When the floating blanking function is applied, the
minimum sensing object becomes large. According to
ANSI/RIA 15.06,
Dpf = 900 mm (3 ft) when d > 64 mm (2.5 inches).
