J STAND-ALONE TYPE
J SERIES CONNECTION TYPES
This is the most common configuration, and it is used to
protect a hazardous part of a machine when approached
from one direction only.
When your application requires an additional protective zone,
for example, to prevent someone from staying behind a primary
detection zone, the F3S-B may be connected in series. The
system consists of a Master Unit, a Slave Unit, and a series
connection cable, type F39-JB1B.
Receiver
The series connection allows up to 96 axes and 2.4 m of
protective height in total.
Emitter
Series connection types have the same characteristics as
stand-alone types. When the detection zone of the Master Unit
or that of the Slave Unit is interrupted, the outputs of the Master
Unit go to the OFF-state.
Note: Slave Unit does not have indicators.
Master Unit and Slave Unit need to be ordered
separately.

F39-U1E Optional Function Software
F39-E1 Interface Unit
After setting the blanking function, check that the F3S-B
detects a test rod at any position in the F3S-B detection zone
through which a person reaches the hazardous part of the
machine. If any positions are found by check above, install
protective structures to there to prevent intrusion which the
F3S-B can not detect. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury.
F39-JB1C Interface Cable
The F39-U1E Optional Function Software is the WINDOWSR
based software for use with the F39-E1 Interface Unit to program
the F3S-B Safety Light Curtain. The software is provided on one
3.5 inch floppy disk. The software has the features listed below.
Perform the installation check and the periodical inspection
described in the F3S-B manual.
Set the following functions to the F3S-B:
Disconnect the outputs of the F3S-B from the load when
programming it using the F39-U1E software and with F39-E1
Interface Unit. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
1. Start interlock function
2. Relay monitoring function
3. Blanking function
Do not connect the F39-E1 to a power supply with a voltage
higher than 24 VDC +20 %. Do not connect the F39-E1 to an
AC power supply.

Connect the receiver extension cable (F39-JBjA--D optional, black color outer jacket) to the receiver. (The receiver unit uses
black color plastic caps.)
Connect the 0 V line of the power supply directly to protective earth (PE).
Note: Be sure to wire correctly. Failure to do so may damage the F3S-B.

Allowed Relay Delay Time
J SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The allowed relay delay time can be set between 20 and 300
ms. This delay time has to be set at least 20 milliseconds shorter
than the Outputs ON delay time.
Copy the file ”F39-U1E_ver#.#.exe” and F39-U1E_ver#.#dat from
the 3.5--inch floppy disk (enclosed with the product) onto the hard
disk of the PC.
Outputs ON Delay
You can set the ON delay time of control outputs between 80 and
400 ms. This corresponds to the time which the control outputs
go to ON-state after the detection zone is not interrupted.
J FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Start Interlock
When the Start interlock function is used, the F3S-B does not go
to the ON-state automatically after power ON. Interrupting one or
more axes resets the start interlock condition of the F3S--B then
starts normal operation. The duration of the interruption must be
equal or shorter as defined in the »Max. interruption time (sec)« .
Note: 1. When the Relay monitoring function is also used, the
ON delay time must meet the formula below.
2. ON delay time ≥ Allowed relay delay time + 20 ms
After the Relay monitoring function is set, if the ON
delay time does not meet the above formula, the
ON delay time will be changed automatically into
Allowed relay delay time + 20 ms.
Max. Interruption Time
The max interruption time can be set between 0.3 and 2 s.
Blanking
With the Blanking function, one or more axes can be disabled.
This function is useful in an application where a part of the F3S-B
detection zone is always interrupted. The Manual setting and the
Teaching setting are available to select the blanked axes.
Note: In the case both the Start interlock and the Start/restart
interlock are selected, only the Start/restart interlock will
be activate.
Start/Restart interlock is a function which is selected by wiring.
Refer to the instruction manual of the F3S-B for more detailed
information.
Note: 1. In the case the blanked zone is not filled with structure
completely and remains some opening, the opening
must be filled with the protective structure.
Relay Monitoring
2. All axes can not be disabled. At least one axis needs to
be active.
MPCEs (Machine Primary Control Elements) are usually relays
or contactors used to control hazardous movement directly. The
state of the MPCEs can be checked with the Relay monitoring
function.
A voltage of 17 VDC to Vs (Supplied voltage to F3S-B) has to be
applied to the Relay monitoring input through the NC contacts of
the MPCEs when the F3S-B control outputs are in the OFF--state
(see the F3S-B manual for wiring information). To ensure this
logic relation, the MPCEs must be safety approved types, with
forcibly guided contacts.

F3S-B
Precautions
!
WARNING
1. Do not use the F3S-B on machines that can not be stopped by electrical control in case of an emergency.
2. Do not use the F3S-B in flammable or explosive environments.
3. Always maintain the safety distance between F3S-B and a hazardous part of the machine. Serious injury may result if the
machine does not stop before someone reaches the hazardous part.
4. Install protective structures around a machine so that you must pass through the detection zone to reach a hazardous part of
the machine.
5. Install F3S-B so that some parts of the operator’s body remain in the detection zone at all times when the operator works in that
hazardous area.
6. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
J CORRECT INSTALLATION
A hazardous part of a machine can be
reached only by passing through the sensor
detection zone.
Some part of the operator’s body remains in
the detection zone while they are working.
J INCORRECT INSTALLATION
A hazardous part of the machine can be
reached without passing through the sensor
detected zone.

WARNING
1. Be sure to install the F3S-B to minimize the effects of reflections from reflective surfaces.
Failure to do so will create an inability to detect and may result in serious injury.
2. Install the F3S-B with a minimum distance D as shown below from the reflective surface (highly reflective surfaces)
like metal walls, floors, ceilings, and work pieces.

WARNING
1. The F3S-B is a TYPE 2 electro-sensitive protective equip-
ment, intended to be used as or with the safety related part
of control system to category 2,1, or B as defined in the
European standard EN954-1.
(5.) The power supply maintains an output holding time
of at least 20 ms.
(6.) FG (frame ground terminal) must be connected to
PE (protective earth) when using a commercially
available switching regulator.
Do not use the F3S-B in category 3 or 4 systems.
2. A qualified person, as determined by local regulations,
must confirm that installation, inspection and maintenance
are implemented correctly.
(7.) The power supply must have output characteristics
required for the power source for Class 2 Circuit or
Limited Voltage/Current Circuit as defined in UL508.
3. Do not short the output lines to the +24 V line. Doing so will
cause the output to be always ON, creating a hazardous
situation.
(8.) The power supply must conform to regulatory
requirements and standards, regarding EMC and
electrical equipment safety, of the country where the
F3S-B is installed and where machinery will be
operated. For example: The EMC Directive
(industrial environment) and the Low Voltage
Directive in EU.
4. Do not connect the F3S-B to a power supply with voltage
higher than 24 VDC + 20%. Do not connect the F3S-B to
OMRON ELECTRONICS LLC
an AC power supply.

7. Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the F3S-B.
For US technical support or other inquiries:
8. DC power supply units must satisfy all of the conditions

Specifications subject to change without notice
(1.) The power supply voltage must be within rating
(24 VDC ± 20 %).
(2.) The power supply is connected only to the F3S-B and
to the electro-sensitive protective function of the
F3S-B, such as a safety controller and muting
sensors, and it has enough rated current for all the
devices.
(3.) The power supply uses double or reinforced insulation
between the primary and secondary circuits.
(4.) The power supply automatically resets overcurrent
protection characteristics (voltage drop).
