Protection Area
2-3 Protection Area
2-3-1 Sensing Area
WARNING
●● Be sure to install a protection structure around the machine so that the operator must pass
through the sensing area of the device to reach dangerous parts of the machine.
Ensure that part or all of the operator’s body remains in the sensing area when the operator
works with dangerous parts of the machine. Risk of death or serious injury if the operator's body
is not detected.
●● Do not use in a reflective type or recursive reflective type setup.
●● Multiple receivers (emitters) cannot be connected for use with a single emitter (receiver).
The sensing area is the zone formed by the sensing height of the device and the sensing range
between the emitter and the receiver.
The sensing height of the device is determined by the number of beam channels.
The sensing range of the SF4D-F□ is 0.2 to 7m (0.8 to 12m in long mode). The sensing range
of the SF4D-H□ and SF4D-A□ is 0.2 to 9m (0.8 to 15m in long mode).
If used at less than 0.2m (less than 0.8m in long mode), optical system effects may cause malfunctioning.

2-3-2 Safety Distance
WARNING
●● Calculate the safety distance correctly, and install so that the distance between the sensing area
of the device and dangerous parts of the machine is equal to or greater than the safety distance.
If the safety distance is miscalculated or a sufficient distance is not established, the machine will
not be able to stop before a human body or object arrives at a dangerous part, creating a risk of
death or serious injury.
●● Before designing and installing the system, refer to the applicable standards of the region where
the device is to be used.
The equations on the following pages are to be used only when the direction of intrusion is perpendicular to the sensing area. If the direction of intrusion is not perpendicular to the sensing
area, be sure to check all applicable standards (regional standards, specifications of the machine, etc.) for calculation details.
●● The maximum response time of the machine is from the point that the machine receives the halt
signal from the device to the point that the dangerous parts of the machine stop. The maximum
response time of the machine should be measured using the actual machine to be used.

●● When calculating the safety distance S, the following five cases must be considered.
First calculate using K = 2,000 (mm/sec.) in the above equation. Consider these three cases for
the result: 1) S < 100, 2) 100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500. If the result of the calculation is 3) S >
500, calculate again using K = 1,600 (mm/sec.). Consider these two cases for the result: 4) S ≤
500 and 5) S > 500.
For details, refer to “Calculation example 1: For use in Europe”.
●● When the device is used in “PSDI Mode”, an appropriate safety distance S must be calculated.

●● Calculation example 1: For use in Europe
(OFF response time: 6ms or less, diameter of minimum sensing object: 25mm)
First, calculate with K = 2,000.
S = K × T + C
= K × (Tm + TSF4D) + 8 × (d − 14)
= 2,000 × (Tm + 0.006) + 8 × (25 − 14)
= 2,000 × Tm + 2,000×0.006 + 8 × 11
= 2,000 × Tm + 12 + 88
= 2,000 × Tm + 100
If the result is:
1) S < 100 (mm)
Take 100 (mm) as the safety distance S.
2) 100 ≤ S ≤ 500(mm)
Take 2,000 × Tm + 116 (mm) as the safety distance S.
3) S > 500(mm)
S = K’ × (Tm + TSF4D) + 8 × (d − 14)
= 1,600 × (Tm + 0.006) + 8 × (25 − 14)
= 1,600 × Tm + 1,600 × 0.006 + 8 × 11
= 1,600 × Tm + 9.6 + 88
= 1,600 × Tm + 97.6
Calculate again using the above.
If the result is:
4) S ≤ 500 (mm)
Use 500 (mm) as the safety distance S.
5) S > 500(mm)
Use 1,600 × Tm + 97.6 (mm) as the safety distance S.
If the device is installed in a system with a maximum machine halting time of 0.1 (sec.)
S = 2,000 × Tm + 100
= 2,000 × 0.1 + 100
= 300
This meets condition 2) above, and thus the safety distance is 300 (mm).
If the device is installed in a system with a maximum machine halting time of 0.4 (sec.)
S = 2,000 × Tm + 100
= 2,000 × 0.4 + 100
= 900
This meets condition 3) above, and thus
S = 1,600 × Tm + 97.6
= 1,600 × 0.4 + 97.6
= 737.6
This meets condition 5) above, and thus the safety distance is 737.6 (mm).

Reduces interference for up to two sets of the device by frequency switching. by frequency
switching. To change frequencies, refer to “3-9 DIP Switch Settings”.
2-3-4-2 Series Connection
When the devices are connected in series, mutual interference does not occur.
A maximum of 5 sets can be connected in series (maximum total of 256 beam channels)]
When the devices are connected in series, the control outputs (OSSD1 / 2) can be aggregated
into one set. The control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF when light is blocked, regardless of
which set is in the light blocked state.
●● To change the synchronization method of devices connected in series, set all DIP switches 1 /
2 to the same state. If DIP switches 1 / 2 are not set to the same state on devices connected in
series, the device will change to the lockout state.
●● When connecting devices in series, connect emitters to emitters and receivers to receivers. If an
emitter is connected to a receiver, the device will change to the lockout state.
2-3-4-3 Parallel Connection (only line synchronization)
When the synchronization method is line synchronization, 12-core cable and the communication module SF4D-TM1 (option) can be used to connect up to three devices in parallel without
mutual interference.
The control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF only on sets in the light-blocked state.
For the wiring method, refer to “2-5-9 Wiring for Function Changes Using Optional Communication Module SF4D-TM1”.

Wiring
The receiver executes self-diagnosis of the output circuit when the device is in the light receiving state (ON state), and thus the output transistor turns OFF periodically. (Refer to the chart
below.)
When an OFF signal is fed back, the receiver determines that the output circuit is normal. If an
OFF signal is not fed back, the receiver determines that there is an output circuit or wiring error,
and the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) holds the OFF state.
CAUTION
Because the OFF signal of the device may cause the machine to malfunction, pay attention to the
input response time of the machine when connecting the machine to the device.

2-5-3 Cable Wiring / Connections / Extension and Connector Pinouts
Connect the connector of the connection cable (connector on one end, connector on both ends)
to the connector of the bottom cap cable connected to the device (emitter, receiver).
Connect the wires on the other end of the connection cable as required for the application, referring to the connector pinouts below.
WARNING
●● If you need to extend the cable, use the special-use cable. Extension is possible to a maximum
total length of 70m each for the emitter and the receiver. If the total length is greater than 70m,
the device may malfunction, creating a risk of death or serious injury.
●● When connecting in a series connection, do not exceed a total length of 70m each for the emitter and the receiver, including the cable for series connection. If the total length is greater than
the specification, the device may malfunction, creating a risk of death or serious injury.
●● If you are extending the synchronization + wire (orange) and synchronization - wire (orange /
black) using a cable other than the special-use cable, use 0.2mm2 or more twisted-pair cable,
and extend 0V as well. For other than synchronization + wire (orange) and synchronization wire (orange / black), use 0.3mm2 or more cable.
●● In the case of line synchronization, emitter and receiver 0V should be common.

2-5-6 Wiring for Series Connection (Example of Control Category 4 Wiring)
[Maximum of 5 sets can be connected (maximum total of 256 beam channels)]
This method is used to connect multiple emitters and receivers facing each other in series. This
connection method is used when there are two or more paths to the dangerous part of the machine. The control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF when light is blocked, regardless of which set
is in the light blocked state.
WARNING
To use a series connection, you must use the special-use SFD-CSL□ series connection cables
to connect emitters to emitters and receivers to receivers. Risk of death or serious injury if a nonsensing area is created due incorrect connection.

2-6-2 Operation Test
Step 1 Supply power to the device.
Step 2 When the device starts, “ ” (when PNP output is set) or “
lights up in yellow on the digital indicator.
” (when NPN output is set)
Step 3 Make sure that the digital indicators on the emitter and receiver are OFF.
If a yellow number blinks or lights in the digital indicator, refer to “Chapter 5 Troubleshooting” and inform your technician.
Step 4 Move the test rod (ø14mm for SF4D-F□, ø25mm for SF4D-H□, ø45mm for SF4D-A□) up
and down directly in front of the emitter (A), midway between the emitter and the receiver
(B), and directly in front of the receiver (C) (3 positions) at a speed of 1,600mm/sec. or less.

Step 5 While moving the test rod in Step 4, verify that the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) is OFF
while the test rod is in the sensing area. In addition, verify that the OSSD indicator of
the receiver and the operation indicator of the emitter both light red.
If the operation of the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) and the indicators of the emitter and
receiver do not match the movement of the test rod, refer to “Chapter 5 Troubleshooting” and inform your technician.
If an indicator indicates the light-received state when the test rod blocks light, make sure there are
no reflective objects or scattered light in the vicinity.

●● Emitter indicator operation 1 when error occurs
When the device detects an error, the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF and a number
blinks or lights yellow in the digital indicator.
●● When an error is detected in the emitter, the emitter enters the lockout state. Light emission
stops, and thus the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF.
●● When an error is detected in the receiver, the receiver enters the lockout state and the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns OFF.

3-6 External Device Monitor Function (8-core cable, 12-core cable)
The external device monitor function is used to check if an external device (safety relay, conductor) connected to the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) operates normally in accordance with the
control output (OSSD 1 / 2).
Contact “b” of the external device is monitored, and if an error is detected such as malfunctioning due to contact welding, the device is put in the lockout state and the control output (OSSD 1
/ 2) turns OFF.
The monitor time of contact “b” is 300ms. If 300ms is exceeded, the lockout state activates.
●● Enabling the external device monitor function
Connect the external device monitor input wire (pale purple) to the external safety relay that
is connected to the control output 1 (OSSD 1) wire (black) and the control output 2 (OSSD 2)
wire (white).
●● Disabling the external device monitor function
Connect the external device monitor input wire (pale purple) to the auxiliary output wire (red).
Set the auxiliary output to [negative logic of control output (OSSD 1 / 2)] (factory setting) [Set
using the communication module SF4D-TM1 (option) and Configurator Light Curtain software].
When the external device monitor function is invalid, external devices cannot be connected
to the auxiliary output.
You can invalid the external device monitor function using the communication module SF4D‑TM1

3-7 Muting Function (12-core cable)
WARNING
●● Risk of an accident if muting control is used incorrectly. Fully understand the muting function before use. Requirements for muting control are given by the international standards below.
ISO 13849-1 (EN ISO 13849-1, JIS B 9705-1):
“Safety of machinery - Safety-related parts of control systems - Part 1: General principles for design, Article 5.2.5 Muting”
IEC 61496-1 (ANSI/UL 61496, JIS B 9704-1):
“Safety of machinery - Electro sensitive protective equipment - Part 1: General requirements
and tests, Annex A, A.7 Muting”
IEC 60204-1 (JIS B 9960-1):
“Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 1: General requirements, 9.2.4
Suspension of safeguards”
EN 415-4:
“Safety of packaging machines - Part 4: Palletizers and depalletizers, Annex A, A2.2 Muting”
ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012:
“U.S. A. Standards for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems - Safety Requirements, 5.10.10 Muting”
●● Use muting control when the machine cycle is not dangerous. Maintain safety by other methods
while muting control is activated.
●● In an application where muting control is activated when a workpiece passes through, place the
muting sensor so that the conditions for muting control are not satisfied when a person intrudes,
regardless of whether or not a workpiece is passing through.
●● Conduct a risk assessment, and if a muting indicator is required, check the standards and regulations in the country or region where the device is to be used and install the indicator accordingly.
●● Be sure to test operation before using the muting function.
The muting function temporarily invalid the safety functions of the device. When the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) is ON, use the muting function when you want to allow a workpiece to pass
through the sensing area of the device without stopping the machinery.
The muting function is valid when the following conditions are all satisfied.
●● The control output (OSSD 1 / 2) is ON.
●● Muting inputs A and B change from OFF (open) to ON. The time difference between muting
input A changing to ON and muting input B changing to ON is from 0.03 to under 3 sec.
Note: When optical synchronization is selected, do not block the beam axis of the top end or the beam axis of the
bottom end. Doing so cancels the muting function.
A photoelectric sensor with semiconductor output, proximity sensor, or position switch with a NO
(Normally Open) contact can be used for the muting sensor.
You can change the time range to 0 to 3 sec. Use the communication module SF4D-TM1 (option)
and Configurator Light Curtain software, and connect an NO (Normally Open) type muting sensor
to muting input A and an NC (Normally Closed) type muting sensor to muting input B.

However, you cannot invalid all beam
axes.
When light from the emitter is received by the receiver on an valid beam axis of the fixed blanking function, control output (OSSD 1 / 2) is fixed in the OFF state. Check installation conditions
and then turn ON the power. (The fixed blanking function remains valid even when the power is
turned OFF and ON.)
When the fixed blanking function is used, the device's digital indicator remains OFF regardless
of the intensity of light received.
When optical synchronization is selected, you cannot specify both the beam axis of the bottom
end and the beam axis of the top end as fixed blanking beam axes.
WARNING
When the fixed blanking function is used, the device's control output (OSSD 1 / 2) does not turn
OFF when a specific beam axis is blocked. Use a protective structure to prevent arrival at the machine's danger zone from the sensing area of the beam axis.

3-11-2 Floating Blanking Function
WARNING
●● When the floating blanking function is used, the minimum sensing object becomes larger, and
the safe distance also becomes longer. Recalculate the safe distance and install the device accordingly.
●● When the minimum number of beam axes is zero, use the interlock function as required by IEC
62046. When the minimum number of beam axes is zero, the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turns
ON even there are no obstacles in the sensing area.
This floating function prevents the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) from turning OFF when the number of blocked beam axes is equal to or less than the set number of beam axes. Use the function when there is a moving obstacle in the sensing area.

You can specify a valid area (number of valid beam axes number).
You can validate or invalidate the floating blanking function for both end beam axes.
You can have the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) turn ON only when a number of contiguous beam
axes within the set beam axes are blocked.
When the floating blanking function is used, the digital indicator remains OFF when there is a

Notes: 1) The setting can be changed using the communication module SF4D-TM1 (option) and Configurator
Light Curtain software.
2) Because the control output (OSSD 1 / 2) must be OFF for at least 80ms, the ON response will be delayed more than 50ms when the light blocked time is less than 30ms.
3) 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.
4)
Do not use or store in an environment pressurized to atmospheric pressure or higher at an altitude of 0m.
5) Taking cable voltage drop and other factors into account, use a cable length as indicated below for the
source / sink current of the control output (OSSD 1 / 2).
