Supports both PNP and NPN polarities in a single model
The SF4B series combines PNP transistor output and NPN transistor output in a single model. Overseas equipment that uses
PNP, replacement with NPN sensors, factories that are positively grounded, and transfer of equipment overseas are all
situations where the control circuits for a single model are suitable for use worldwide.
■ Polarity can be changed easily by changing wiring
When the output polarity setting wire (shielded) is
connected to 0 V, PNP output is selected, and when it
is connected to 24 V, it switches to NPN output.

Muting control function is built into light curtain
Safety circuits are selectable
A muting control function is provided to increase both safety and productivity
(excluding SF4B-□-03)
The light curtain is equipped with a
muting control function that causes the
line to stop only when a person passes
through the 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 light curtain so that a
exclusive controller is not required for
muting. This both reduces costs and
increases safety and productivity.

A commitment to design that is easy to use
Beam-axis alignment indicators show the incident light position at a glance
Beam-axis alignment indicators display the beam channels of the 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 a stability indicator (STB) added so that setup can be carried out with
greater stability.

Laser alignment tool for easy installation
Greatly improved ease of installation
The tool performs beam-axis alignment using a laser
beam spot. As the tool is battery-operated, it is possible
to perform beam-axis alignment before actual powering
on the equipment.
The hexagon-socket head bolts used for aligning the
beam axis can be tightened from the front of the light
curtain. Beam adjustment can be carried out easily while

Mutual interference is reduced without
needing for interference prevention lines
Reducing the number of malfunctions
caused by extraneous light
The light curtain is equipped with the ELCA (Extraneous
Light Check & Avoid) function. Because it automatically
shifts the scan timing of the 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 are
effective in eliminating the effects of momentary
extraneous light from peripheral equipment. The
reduction in operating errors caused by extraneous light
reduces frequent stopping of machinery.
Options exclusive for light curtain are available
for an easy construction of safety circuit
Handy-controller SFB-HC* that enables
the user to select a variety of settings
SFB-HC
Separate muting control function for each beam channel
The handy-controller SFB-HC* (optional) can be used to
carry out muting control for specified beam channels
only. Because individual beam channel can be specified
to suit the object, separate guards to prevent entry do
not need to be set up.
While muting control is active (line operating)
Line stopped
SFB-HC
For example, depending on the height of the object, the muting function
can be activated for 10 beam channels starting from the bottom, so that
if the 11th or subsequent beam channels are interrupted, it is judged that
a person has entered the area and the line stops.
* A handy-controller cannot be used with the SF4B-□-01,
SF4B-□-03 and the SF-C14EX-01.
Any valid beam channels can be selected
The SF4B series incorporates a fixed blanking function.
Non-specified beam channels can be deactivated
The SF4B series incorporates a floating blanking function.
The SF4B 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 light curtain’s sensing area.
Note: When the floating blanking function is used, the size of the
min. sensing object is changed. Refer to “PRECAUTIONS
FOR PROPER USE” (p.36) for details.

This function reduces the amount of emitting light. The two modes,
normal mode and short mode, can be selected. The factory setting
is set to the normal mode for the emission intensity control function.

This function allows the user to confirm the details of
each light curtain setting.
Protection function
Unless the password is not input, any setting change
of the light curtain cannot be allowed. The factory
setting is set to invalid for the protect function.
Copy function
Allows settings details to be copied into other light
curtains. In the event that the same setting must be
input into several different light curtains, this function
will reduce the time required for the input of settings.
Muting lamp diagnosis setting
When the muting lamp diagnosis is disabled, the muting
function will continue to operate even if the lamp is blown.

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 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 manual for details.)
Auxiliary output (Non-safety output)
• This 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 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 light curtain into lockout one,
and turn OFF the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2).
(Refer to the SF4B manual for details.)
Muting function
• This function turns the safety function of this 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
light curtain without stopping the machinery.
The muting function becomes valid when all the
conditions listed below are satisfied.

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
changed from OFF (open) to ON. At this time, the
time difference occurred by changing the output of the
muting sensors A and B into ON status shall be within
0.03 to 3 sec.
• The following devices, photoelectric sensor with
semiconductor output, inductive proximity sensor,
position switch on N.O. (Normally open) contact, etc. are
available for applying to the muting sensor.
• In case of using the muting function, please order 12-core
cable.
(Refer to the SF4B manual for details.)
Refer to the manual on our website for details.
Override function
• This function sets the safety function of this light curtain
enabled forcibly. When using the muting function, the
override function can be used to start the machinery at
times such as when the control outputs (OSSD 1 and
OSSD 2) are OFF or when the muting sensors are ON
when the line is to be started.
The override function becomes valid when all the
conditions listed below are satisfied.
However, this function cannot be used with the
SF4B-□-03.

Wiring
Refer to the applicable regulations for the region where this
device is to be used when setting up the device. In addition,
make sure that all necessary measures are taken to prevent
possible dangerous operating errors resulting from earth faults.
• Make sure to carry out the wiring in the power supply off
condition.
• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
• If power is supplied from a commercial switching
regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of
the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
• In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator,
inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this sensor,
connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the
equipment to an actual ground.
• Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or
power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can
cause malfunction due to induction.

OSHA 1910. 212 and OSHA 1910. 217 for
installation, and in Europe, refer to EN 999
as well. Observe your national and local
requirements before installing this product.
Safety distance
• Calculate the safety distance correctly, and
always maintain a distance which is equal to
or greater than the safety distance, between
the sensing area of this light curtain and the
dangerous parts of the machinery. (Please
check the latest standards for the equation.)
If the safety distance is miscalculated or if
sufficient distance is not maintained, there is
a danger of serious injury or death.
• Before designing the system, refer to the
relevant standards of the region where this
device is to be used and then install this device.
Also, the below calculation is valid only when
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.
• This catalog is a guide to select a suitable product. Be
sure to read instruction manual attached to the product
prior to its use.
• Both emitter and receiver are combined adjusted on
factory setting, please apply both emitter and receiver
with the same serial No. The serial No. is indicated on
the plates of both emitter and receiver.
(Indicated under model No.)
• Make sure to carry out the test run before regular operation.
• This safety system is for use only on machinery in which the dangerous
parts can be stopped immediately, either by an emergency stop unit
or by disconnecting the power supply. Do not use this system with

any part of the human body must pass
through its sensing area in order to reach
the dangerous parts of the machinery. If
the human body is not detected, there is a
danger of serious injury or death.
• Do not use any reflective type or
retroreflective type arrangement.
• Furthermore, facing several receivers
towards one emitter, or vice versa, could
produce a non‑sensing area or cause mutual
interference, which may result in serious
injury or death.
Sensing area
The sizes of the minimum sensing objects
for this device vary depending on whether

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.

Refer to the manual on our website for details.
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 enclosed with the
handy-controller for details of the function settings for
using handy-controller SFB-HC (optional).
Troubleshooting
• Refer to the SF4B manual for details.
Corner mirror
• Be sure to carry out maintenance while
referring to the instruction manual for the
SF4B series of light curtains.
• Do not use if dirt, water, or oil, etc. is
attached to the reflective surface of this
product. Appropriate sensing range may not
be maintained due to diffusion or refraction.
• Make sure that you have read the instruction
manual for the corner mirror thoroughly
before setting up the corner mirrors and
light curtains, and follow the instructions
given. If the equipment is not set up correctly
as stipulated in the instruction manual,
incident light errors may result in unexpected
situations which may result in serious injury
or death.
• Please download the instruction manuals
from our website.
• Light curtain SF4B series cannot be used
as a retroreflective type. Avoid installing the
light curtain as a retroreflective type when
this product is applied.
• The mirror part of this product is made of
glass. Note that if it is broken, the glass
shards may fly apart.
• Do not use if crack or breakage appears on
the reflective surface of this product. Proper
sensing range may not be maintained due to
diffusion or refraction.
If crack or breakage appears on the
reflective surface of this product, replace the
product.
• When adjusting beam channels with a laser
alignment tool, etc., take sufficient care that
the laser beam reflected by this product does
not enter the eyes.
• Failure to follow the above items may result
in death or serious injury.
• Refer to the SF4B manual for details.
