INSTALLATION POSITION / DIRECTION / METHOD

• Use the 35mm width DIN rail to install the unit.
• The installation position / direction is not basically limited.
• Please fix this product with the DIN rail stopper MS-DIN-E (optional) after installing the product on to the 35mm width DIN rail.
• If two or more units are placed side by side, make sure to space them at least 5mm apart. In case they are mounted close to each other, lower the rated operation current of the safety output depending on the ambient temperature, refering the right graph.
• Always install this product in a control panel having an IP54 or higher protective structure.

Derating for mounting the units close to each other

I/O CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS

• The following cables are recommended for power supply / output line and signal line.
  Solid wire: ø0.4 to ø1.2mm (AWG 26 to 16)
  Twisted wire: 0.2 to 1.25mm2 (AWG 24 to 16)
  Standard stripped wire length: 11mm

• For wiring the light curtain, refer to the instruction manual enclosed with the light curtain.

• When connecting a product other than this product with the light curtain, arrange a terminal block separately

< Wiring for the minus grounding (PNP setting)>

• The figure shown below is the case that this product is connected to a type 4 PNP output type SF4D series. Connect the control output OSSD 1 and OSSD 2 of SF4D series to S1 and S2 respectively
  
  KA, KB: Magnet contactor

• In case of connecting a type 2 PNP output type SF2C series, connect the control output (OSSD) of SF2C series to S1, and also put a jumper between S2 and S3.

< Wiring for the minus grounding (NPN setting)>

• The figure shown below is the case that this product is connected to a type 4 NPN output type SF4D series. Connect the control output OSSD 1 and OSSD 2 of SF4D series to S4 and S2 respectively.
  

• In case of connecting a type 2 NPN output type SF2C series, connect the control output (OSSD) of SF2C series to S4, and also put a jumper between S2 and S3.

WARNING
Install a RESET switch in palace where it is possible to see all over the dangerous zone and outside of the zone.

< Manual reset>

• In case of the manual reset, configure the back check circuit between X1 and X2. If it is not necessary to check KA and KB, short-circuit KA and KB.
• Do not connect anything to X3.
• The unit operates by the trailing operation of the external reset button.
• Two or more units cannot be controlled by an external reset button. Prepare the external reset button for unit by unit.
  

< Auto reset>

• In case of the auto reset, configure the back check circuit between X1 and X3. If it is not necessary to check KA and KB, short-circuit between X1 and X3.
• Do not connect anything to X2.
• Avoid auto-reset of the system after emergency stop by using the other control
  circuit. (IEC / EN 60204-1 part 9.2.5.4.2 and 10.8.3)
  

Terminal arrangement diagram

MOUNTING TERMINAL BLOCK

• When connecting to the terminal block, insert a solid wire or twisted wire (lead wire) with a ferrule (sleeve) terminal (please arrange separately) into the hole till it stops as shown in the figure right. The wire is locked when it is properly inserted. However, do not to pull the wire with excessive force, as this can cause a cable break.
• When connecting the twisted wire (lead wire) without a ferrule (sleeve) terminal, insert the wire to the innermost of the connecting hole while pressing the release button.
• When releasing the solid wire or the twisted wire (lead wire), pull the wire while pressing the release button.
• The following solid wire and twisted wire (lead wire) are recommended. Solid wire: ø0.4 to ø1.2mm (AWG 26 to 16) Twisted wire (lead wire): 0.2 to 1.25mm2 (AWG 24 to 16) Standard stripped wire length: 11mm

SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION

• The power supply unit of this equipment adopts the electronic fuse which do not require any replacement.
• When the electronic fuse is operated, turn OFF the power supply, and remove the cause of overcurrent before restarting the power supply for resetting.
• The electronic fuse is not suitable to use in which the equipment is operated continuously or daily. Note that operating the equipment continuously may be unable to satisfy the specifications.

FUNCTIONS

• Trailing edge switching function
• This function is to accept the input when the reset switch is pressed (contact “close”) and then released (contact “open”) at the manual start setting. An unexpected start-up due to the welded reset switch can be avoided.

MAINTENANCE

• Be sure to do maintenance before use and 6 month periodic maintenance. Refer included instruction manual of light curtain for the inspection items.
• In case replacing this device to new this device, be sure special technician to exchange it. And do daily maintenance and periodic maintenance.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• The number of times the fault indicator (yellow) blinks indicates the type of error state, as follows.
  Blinking| Description of error| Cause / Remedy
  ---|---|---
  2 times| Internal relay contact is weld| The contact was weld due to the lifetime of the relay. Replace this product by new one.
  3 times| Reset mode error| Wiring of the terminal X1, X2 or X3 is not correct. Check if the wiring has been correctly done.
  4 times or more| Influence of noise / power supply or internal circuit failure| Check the noise environment.
  Check the wiring, power supply voltage and voltage capacity.
• Make sure that this product and the light curtain are connected to the common power supply.
• When the sensor doesn’t operate properly even if the remedies described above are taken, contact our office.
• Interval of blinking for the fault indicator (yellow) is approx. 0.6 sec. Check the number of times the indicator blinks for approx. 2 sec. from the indicator “OFF” period.
