The internal unit was redesigned and downsized extensively. The
internal unit was downsized to less than 40% (volume ratio) as
compared to the conventional model while achieving higher
performance. The case structure was also optimized and offers high
rigidity without any change in external dimensions. The SF4D series
provides high performance and high reliability while maintaining the
installation and wiring compatibility with the previous models.

Conventional model
Mounting brackets are attached to the
top case and bottom case. When the unit
was subjected to intense shock, a large
load was occasionally placed on the
aluminum case joint.
SF4D series
The mounting brackets is attached to the
back of the rigid aluminum case. This
reduces the load on the top case and
bottom case, and helps prevent beam
misalignment and failure due to shock.
New high power optical system offering stable operation even for long distance setup
Increased power of emitter element
The power of the emitter has been increased significantly. The high resistance
to dust and dirt contributes to the reduction of maintenance frequency.

Minimization of deviations among elements
We incorporated the element alignment technology that we
cultivated for fiber sensors in the safety light curtain. This
minimizes curves due to emitter and receiver mounting deviations
and quality deviations due to differences in individual elements.
Redesigned emitter element layout and structure
The scattering light energy from each emitter element is guided
efficiently through the lens. The light energy of the emitter
element is utilized fully, and the light distribution
characteristics were optimized for the specific aperture angle.
SF4D series
Stable light incidence
range
* The aperture angle of a Type 4 safety light curtain is specified as a maximum of
2.5° each on the right and left at a detection distance of 3 m 9.843 ft or more.
Other benefits
"Slim & robust unit body" and "new high power
optical system"
mean easy alignment of beam
axes even over a long distance.
The SF4D series offers improved resistance to twisting and warping to enable easier
adjustment of beam axes over a long distance. Combined with the new high power
optical system featuring the redesigned emitter element, light distribution
characteristics and layout, the new series has realized the ease of beam axis
adjustment.
Furthermore, the SF4D series is equipped with an application indicator to further
facilitate beam axis adjustment as well as a digital indicator with a numeric display of
light incidence margin, thus helping reduce the time required for beam axis adjustment.
Shuts out liquids and dust
IP67, IP65 (IEC)
NEMA Type 13 (NEMA 250)
The SF4D series complies with IP67 and IP65 (IEC)
as well as NEMA Type 13 (NEMA 250)*1.
The unit structure prevents the entry of not only water
but also coolant and other liquids*2 to protect the
internal unit.
*1 The SF4D series complies with the Type 13 requirements for
non-explosion-proof enclosures specified in NEMA 250, “Enclosure
for Electrical Equipment (1,000 V Maximum),” established by NEMA
(National Electrical Manufacturers Association) in the United States.
Type 13: Enclosures for mainly indoor use which satisfy the following
conditions:
• Prevention of incidental contact with the enclosed equipment
• Protection against falling dirt and protection against circulating
airborne particles
• Protection against spraying, splashing and seepage of water
and noncorrosive lubricants
*2 If used in a place where cutting fluid can splash, additives in the fluid
may cause degradation. Please check in advance whether the SF4D
series is resistant to the specific cutting fluid used by your company.

Multifunctional indicators for an at-a-glance
understanding of the status of safety light curtain
Digital indicator with a numeric display of light incidence margin facilitates
beam axis adjustment and preventive maintenance.
The light incidence margin is indicated by the “stable light incidence indicator” and “digital indicator”. This function enables appropriate beam
adjustment and work quality control during installation of the device. The indicators also show whether there is dirt on the detection surface or
beam misalignment due to play. This enables the numeric display to be used for startup inspection and preventative maintenance.
* When optical synchronization is set, only the indicator on the receiver lights up.

Stable light incidence indicator that even shows the
amount of margin
The stable light incidence indicator is commonly used when installing a new safety light
curtain to equipment or when checking if the existing safety light curtain is operating properly.
Previously, however, even if the stable light incidence indicator was ON, there was no way of
knowing whether there was an ample margin or the condition is close to unstable light
incidence.
The SF4D series not only shows whether the light incidence is stable or unstable but also the
amount of margin with a numeric display. Therefore, it is possible to numerically manage the
stability margin of the safety light curtain. When the amount of received beam intensity
decreases during equipment operation due to oil mist or other reasons, the digital display
shows the stability margin of the safety light curtain. Thus, cleaning can be scheduled and
conducted at the most suitable timing.

SF4D-TM1
The setting software, Configurator Light Curtain, is required when using the SF4D-TM1 communication
module. The setting software can be downloaded free from our website. USB cable is not provided with
the product. USB2.0 cable (A: Mini-B) must be prepared by the user.
The communication module serves as a conversion module for the connection of a PC to the SF4D
series for changing function settings and monitoring statuses (light incidence / light blockage, lockout,
etc.). The communication module can also be used to copy settings from SF4D series products without
the connection of a PC.

2) Excluding SF4D-□-01
3) The operating range is the possible setting distance between the emitter and the receiver.
When the floating blanking function is used, the size of the minimum sensing object varies. For the detail, refer to the section on Safety distance (p.36).
4)
5) In consideration of the voltage drop caused by the cable, use Control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) source / sink current and cable length (p.27) as a
guideline.
6) The setting can be changed when the SF4D-TM1 (optional) and Configurator Light Curtain setting software are used. Note that the setting cannot be
changed when SF4D-□-01 is used.
7) For response times by number of beams, refer to the Control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) OFF response times (p.27).
8) Because the control output (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) must be OFF for at least 80 ms, the ON response will be delayed more than 50 ms when the light
blocked time is less than 30 ms.
9) When optical synchronization is selected, if the beam axes of both the top end and bottom end are blocked, the ON response speed decreases by as
much as 1 sec.
10) To use optional functions, the SF4D-TM1 (optional) and Configurator Light Curtain setting software are required. Note that optional functions cannot
be used when SF4D-□-01 is used.
11) Do not use or store in an environment pressurized to atmospheric pressure or higher at an altitude of 0 m.

Notes: 1) In the case of "When used as safety device for presses in China" or "When SF4D-□-01 is used for presses or shearing machines (paper cutting machines)
in Japan," 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 (A).
2) When the number of beam channels is SF4D-F□(-01): 111 or more beam channels, SF4D-H□(-01): 56 or more beam channels, SF4D-A□(-01): 28 or
more beam channels, one set is required.

Notes: 1) In the case of "When used as safety device for presses in China" or "When SF4D-□-01 is used for presses or shearing machines (paper cutting machines)
in Japan," 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 (A).
2) Mounting pitch when the SF4B-G compatible mounting bracket MS-SFD-4BG (optional) is installed using one M8 hexagon socket head bolt.
3) Mounting pitch when the SF4B-G compatible mounting bracket MS-SFD-4BG (optional) is installed using two M5 hexagon socket head bolts.
4) When the number of beam channels is SF4D-F□(-01): 111 or more beam channels, SF4D-H□(-01): 56 or more beam channels, SF4D-A□(-01): 28 or
more beam channels, one set is required.
