Experience the Ease of Installation, Construction and Maintenance! 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 • Stable light incidence: Lights green • Unstable light incidence: Lights orange • Light blocked: Off Digital indicator • Incident light level 3: Lights green “3” • Incident light level 2: Lights green “2” • Incident light level 1: Lights green “1” • Light blocked: Off Unstable light incidence Stable light incidence Low Margin of incident light intensity High Other Light incidence intensity indication features! The indicator shows the light incidence margin with a numeric display (1 to 3). Well-thought-out indicators The displayed number decreases when there is dirt on the detection surface or The indicators show stable light incidence status and notify various conditions. The beam axis misalignment occurs due to OSSD indicator, interlock indicator and function setting indicator are arranged a loose mounting condition. This between the beam axes for easy visibility. provides useful information during pre-operation inspection and preventive maintenance. * Only the indicator on the receiver lights when optical synchronization is set. Light emission intensity control Function setting indicator indicator Polarity indication The indicator shows the set polarity when power is turned on. This makes Test indicator Stable light Interlock indicator it easy to confirm proper operation incidence after wiring. Operation indicator indicator OSSD indicator Digital indicator Error indication The new series is also equipped with the error indication function, a well-received feature of our previous models. In an environment where a PC cannot be brought in or when a problem occurs at a remote location, the displayed error number lets you identify the cause of problem.

Compact & Robust SF4D S E R I E S Indicator for improved work efficiency The application indicator improves work efficiency in a variety of ways by providing support to work activities ranging from daily equipment operation to installation and maintenance. The indicator function can be switched between two options. Beam axis adjustment mode The color of the indicator notifies whether the beam axes of both top and bottom ends are aligned properly. The indicator is easy to see from any direction so mistakes can be prevented in a long-distance setup. When beam axes of both top and bottom ends are aligned properly: All application indicators light blue. Beam When beam axis of either of top end or bottom end is aligned: misalignment The indicators of only the aligned side light red. When beam axes of both top and bottom ends are misaligned: OFF All application indicators are OFF. Lights red * When optical synchronization is set, only the indicator on the receiver lights up. Tidbit Laser alignment tool enables pre-operation adjustment The optional laser alignment tool, Laser alignment tool SF-LAT-2N, enables the adjustment of • SF-LAT-2N beam axes by emitting a laser spot light. Since it is powered by batteries, adjustment can be made before power Lights blue (top, bottom) is supplied to the equipment, thus reducing the pre-operation setup time. Application indicator mode Can light and blink in three colors (green, red, and orange) according to an external input. The indicator can be used to indicate work instructions or equipment status. *W hen optical synchronization is set, only the indicator on the receiver lights up. *T he DIP switches in the unit must be set to use this When indicator input 1 is ON When indicator input 1 is OFF When both indicator inputs 1 function. Green and indicator input 2 is OFF Red and indicator input 2 is ON Orange and 2 are ON For details, see the manual. The manual can be downloaded from our website. COLUMN 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. Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. 7

Muting setting function *Excluding SF4D-□-01 This function is used to set the arrangement of muting sensors and select the most suitable settings using the application. It is also equipped with a time chart function, which obtains actual input timing to facilitate adjustment work. Muting sensor arrangement model Description This is used when a muting input cannot be set up at the outlet side such as a workpiece discharge section. Exit-only Since the workpiece passing time can be set in the timer, muting input on the outlet side is not required. This is used when there is no space for acquiring the Simultaneous input muting input time difference between two systems. There is no need to provide a time difference for muting inputs. * When the muting sensor output is NO / NC. Parallel 4-sensor The input time difference between the muting inputs of Cross 2-sensor two systems is detected and the muting condition is Invalid when rising controlled. Blanking setting function *Excluding SF4D-□-01 The blanking setting function has also advanced. It supports not only manual setting while allowing the user to check the light reception condition in real time and but also batch setting based on teaching. Furthermore, fixed blanking and floating blanking can be set using the same screen. It alleviates the cumbersome setting work.
