From designing and constructing equipment to exporting and maintenance
Beam-axis alignment indicators help to reduce startup time
The beam channels of the light curtain are displayed in four blocks so that incident light position is shown at a glance. 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.

A single model supports both PNP and NPN polarities reducing model numbers
PNP transistor output and NPN transistor output are combined 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 (shield) is
connected to 0 V, PNP output is selected, and when it
is connected to 24 V, it switches to NPN output.

IP67 protection structure
An IP67 (IEC / JIS) rating is achieved with an ultra-slim
size for protection from environmental factors.
Lightweight!
The SF4C series is made of resin that is approx. 45 %
lighter than the conventional aluminum case type. Its
lightweight body eases the burden on the mounting
surface of the equipment and contributes to overall
reduced weight during equipment transportation or
overseas shipment.
*Except the cable part
PNP / NPN polarity indicator
Either PNP or NPN side lights
depending on which is selected.
Material suitable for manufacturing a
secondary battery
SF4C body is made of resin and the mounting bracket is
made of Stainless Steel (SUS), so materials used are
limited. Suitable for manufacturing secondary batteries
or for food production equipment.
Mounting bracket: SUS304
Mounting screw: SUSXM7 *
A fast response time for all models
SF4C-H□: 7 ms*, SF4C-F□: 9 ms*
The SF4C series reduces the safety distance as well as
the calculation work required for the safety distance
among models with different beam channels.
* When connecting safety sensors (light curtains, etc) to the safety input,
the response time will be the total time of connected units.
Mutual interference is reduced without
needing for interference prevention lines
The ELCA (Extraneous Light Check & Avoid) function
automatically shifts the scan timing in order to avoid
interference.

Body case: Polycarbonate alloy
* Effective from production in
November 2010.
Reducing the number of malfunctions
caused by extraneous light
Double scanning method and retry processing are
effective in eliminating the effects of extraneous light.

Notes: 1) The output cannot be used while the fix blanking function,
floating blanking function or the muting function is activated.
2) This device outputs the beam received / interrupted state under
activating the auxiliary output switching function using the
handy-controller irrespective of activating other functions, fixed
blanking function, floating blanking function, and muting function.
Fixed blanking function which allows selective beam
channels to be activated improves productivity
Floating blanking function which allows non-specified
beam channels to be deactivated improves productivity
The SF4C 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 interrupt 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 specific beam channels.
1, 2 or 3 non-specified beam channels can be
deactivated. If the number of beam channels that are
interrupted 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.24) for details.
A variety of other functions can be selected
Setting monitoring function
This function allows the user to confirm the details of
each light curtain setting. (Note)
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 protecting 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. (Note)
Muting lamp diagnosis setting
When the muting lamp diagnosis is disabled, the muting
function will continue to operate even if the lamp is blown.
Note: This setting is possible for SF4C series Ver.2.0 or later.

SF4C series
The light curtain has a built-in 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.
Furthermore, the large multi-purpose
indicators can be used as muting
lamps, which contribute to less wiring
troubles, improvement of safety and
productivity, and cost reduction.

Selective muting area [Separate muting control function for each beam channel]
The handy-controller SFC-HC 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)
HC
Line stopped
For example, depending on the height of the object, the muting function can be activated for 10 beam
channels starting from the bottom most, 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.
Safety measures when objects exit [Exit muting control function]
Muting at the exit of a machine is now
possible using the handy-controller
SFC-HC. Just set a Max. four sec.
delay timer on the muting sensors
located at the exit. This is efficient for
places with no installation space for
muting sensors and also reduces cost
and wiring.
HC
Entrance side
Exit side
Muting sensors are not needed on the exit side!
By installing muting sensors only within the dangerous zone and setting up a delay timer on
the sensor, muting control is made possible even on the exit side where muting sensors
cannot be installed.

Cost reduction in safety circuit without a safety relay unit
Safety circuit is constructed without the need for a safety relay unit [External device monitoring function]
Previous
The light curtain has a built-in external
device monitoring function (such as
deposited relay monitoring) and an
interlock function. This allows a safety
circuit to be constructed so that a
separate safety relay unit is not
needed, and the control box has
become smaller to help to achieve to
lower costs.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Muting function
• Incorrect use 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 (JIS B 9705-1)
IEC 61496-1 (UL 61496 / JIS B 9704-1)
IEC 60204-1 (JIS B 9960-1)
IEC / TS 62046
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 a workpiece 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 workpiece is passing through the sensor
or the workpiece 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 state of the muting lamp (cleanliness or
brightness etc.).
• The muting 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.
Notes: 1) By using handy-controller SFC-HC, and connecting normally open
(N.O.) type muting sensor to muting input A, and normally closed
(N.C.) type muting sensor to muting input B, then muting function
can be used for 0 to 3 sec.
2) Using handy-controller SFC-HC can configure muting lamp
diagnosis function. If setting muting lamp diagnosis function to
ineffective, muting function continues even when the lamp is out or
not connected.
3) The muting time of this light curtain is unlimited by factory setting.
Using the handy-controller SFC-HC, muting time can be set in 1
sec. unit from 1 to 600 sec.

• 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.
• This catalog is a guide to select a suitable product. Be
sure to read instruction manual attached to the product
prior to its use.

• Safety distance is calculated based on the following
equation when a person moves perpendicular (normal
intrusion) to the sensing area of the light curtain. 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. (Please check the latest standards for the
equation.)

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 previous. 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.
• When this light curtain 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.

The following equation holds when the machine is
equipped with a brake monitor.
Tbm = Ta – (Ts + Tc)

Output waveform [Control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) ON]
• Since the receiver performs the self-diagnosis of the
output circuit when the light curtain is in beam received
condition (ON status), the output transistor becomes OFF
status periodically. (Refer to the figure below.)
When the OFF signal is fed back, the receiver judges
the output circuit as normal. When the OFF signal is not
fed back, the receiver judges either the output circuit or
wiring as error, and the control outputs (OSSD 1,
OSSD 2) maintain OFF status.
Since the OFF signal of this light curtain might
cause malfunction, perform the connection
paying attention to the input response time of
the machine to be connected to this light curtain.

Influence of reflective surfaces
If there exists a reflective surface in the place
where this light curtain to be installed, make
sure to install this light curtain so that reflected
light from the reflective surface does not enter
into the receiver, or take countermeasures
such as painting, masking, roughening, or
changing the material of the reflective surface,
etc. Failure to do so may cause the device not
to detect, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Install this light curtain at a distance of 0.16 m 0.525 ft
or more from reflective surfaces such as metal walls,
floors, ceilings, sensing objects, covers, panels or glass
surfaces.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Handy-controller
Others
This light curtain enables to set each function
using the handy-controller SFC-HC. 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 SFC-HC.
