FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - F3C-AL OMRON

Comment régler la distance de détection ?

Placez l'objet à la position souhaitée et tournez le potentiomètre jusqu'à ce que l'indicateur LIGHT (rouge) s'allume. Retirez l'objet, puis tournez dans le sens horaire jusqu'à ce que le voyant rouge se rallume (position B), puis dans le sens antihoraire jusqu'à extinction (position C). Réglez à mi-chemin entre A et C. Vérifiez que l'indicateur STABILITY (vert) reste allumé.

Comment sélectionner le mode Light-ON ou Dark-ON ?

Le mode est sélectionné par câblage. Pour le mode Light-ON, connectez la broche 2 à la broche 1 (ou laissez déconnecté). Pour le mode Dark-ON, connectez la broche 2 à la broche 3. Consultez le schéma de câblage dans le manuel.

Que faire si l'indicateur de stabilité (vert) ne s'allume pas ?

Si le voyant vert STABILITY ne reste pas allumé, la détection peut être instable. Vérifiez l'alignement, la distance et la réflectivité de l'objet. Ajustez le réglage de sensibilité ou modifiez la méthode de détection pour obtenir une détection stable.

Quelle est la tension d'alimentation requise ?

Le capteur fonctionne sous une tension de 10 à 30 VCC avec une ondulation max. de 10% (crête à crête). La consommation est de 30 mA max.

Le capteur peut-il détecter des surfaces brillantes ?

Oui, le F3C-AL assure une détection stable des surfaces brillantes, y compris les surfaces inclinées à 45°. Il est insensible aux objets brillants en arrière-plan, ce qui permet une installation sans contrainte.

Comment installer le capteur ?

Utilisez des vis M4 avec un couple de serrage max. de 1,2 Nm. Évitez la lumière parasite (soleil, lampes). Ne croisez pas les axes optiques entre capteurs pour éviter les interférences. Montez le capteur de sorte que le faisceau laser soit terminé (pas de chemin libre).

Special hints

Recommended adjustment

To assure stable working conditions the green stability LED should be always turned on.

The green LED displays two stability conditions:

1. Output stable ON (red LED on)
2. Output stable OFF (red LED off)

Best performance can be achieved if the sensing object is located

closer than -10 % of the setting distance or the shiny background is

fixed +10 % behind the switching position.

Safety Precaution

Laser beam!

Laser protection class 2

Do not look into the laser beam.

Pay attention to the accident prevention regulations and the laser protection class.

Visible laser emission!

Avoid any indirect or direct radiation of

reflected or emitted laser light!

Laser safety

The laser safeguards have been stipulated for laser equipment in and outside Japan. The following gives brief description for use in Japan.

The JIS C6802 Standard stipulates safety preventives that must be taken by the user according to the laser product class. (The outline is given in the following table.)

User's Requirements

Class Item	Class 1	Class 2	Class 3A	Class 3B		Class 4
				3B*	3B
Using remote interlock	Not required				Connect the re-mote interlock of the laser beam to the emergency main interlock, the interlock of the room, or the inter-lock of the door.
Key control	Not required				Do not keep the key in the lock when the laser beam is not used.
Beam breaker or attenuator	Not required				Used to protect people from accidental radiation by the laser beam.
Warning sign	Not required			Post a proper warning sign on the door to the room where laser beam equipment is installed.
Beam path	Not required	The laser beam must be terminated and, as a rule, must be enclosed. If the laser beam is exposed, the vertical height of the beam must not be the same as that of the eyes.
Mirror reflection	Not required			Appropriate optical elements must be securely attached and you must be able to control the optical elements during laser radiation.
Eye protect	Not required				Use eye protectors except in special, specified locations.
Protection clothes	Not required		Wear protection clothes if exposure of the skin to the laser beam may exceed the MPE of the skin.
Training	Not required		The laser system must be operated by only properly trained people.

• 5 mW or less in the visible range

Classification of F3C

Class 2

Handle laser equipment in accordance with the following precautions.

• Do not look into the beam.
• Do not disassemble the product. Doing so will release the laser beam to wander around.

Please obtain or prepare the "Laser product safety standards" on your own responsibility.

Labels related to laser

The following warning label is applied to the side face of the photoelectric sensor.

For use in Japan, change the above label for the one that meets the JIS Standards.

Handling Instructions

F3C radiates a visible-light laser. Do not look into it directly. Use F3C so that the light path of the laser beam is terminated. If there is a mirror-smooth reflector in the light path, confine the beam away from the reflected light path. If F3C must be used with the light path open, avoid placing the light path on the eye level.

Correct Use

Design

Power Reset Time

The Photoelectric Sensor is ready to sense an object in 300 ms after power-on. Therefore, use it 300 ms after power-on. If the load and Sensor are connected to different power supplies, always switch on power for the Sensor first.

Wiring Considerations

Load short-circuit protection

• The F3C-AL has load short-circuit protection. If a load short-circuit or like has occurred, the output turns OFF. Therefore, recheck the wiring and switch power on again. This resets the short-circuit protection circuit. Load short-circuit protection is activated when a current of 1.8 times or more of the rated load current flows. When using an L load, use the one the inrush current of which is less than 1.8 times of the rated load current.
• Do not use the input power exceeding the rated voltage. Doing so can cause damage.
• Do not shorten the load with the open collector output. Otherwise, damage might be caused.

• Run the wiring of F3C separately from the high voltage and power cables.

• Avoid wiring them together or running them within the same duct. Doing so may get them induced, causing a malfunction or damage.

• For extension of the cable, use a 0.3mm^2 or more cable and run it within 50m .

Mounting

• Install the photoelectric sensor so that the sun, fluorescent lamp, incandescent lamp or any other strong light will not enter the directional angle range of the sensor.
• If Sensors are installed face-to-face, ensure that no optical axes cross each other. Otherwise, mutual interference may result.
• Use M4 screws to mount the unit.
• When mounting the case tighten it to the torque of 1.2 Nm max.

Miscellaneous

Operating Environment

• Avoid using the Sensor in a strong disturbance light (e.g. laser beam or arc welding beam) or strong electromagnetic field.

• Depending on their material and/or shape, some objects may not be detected or may be detected with low accuracy. (Mirror-smooth material, transparent material, material of extremely low reflectivity, object smaller than spot diameter)

Correct operation

The moving direction of the sensor or object should be preferably along the optical axis of the light beam. Lateral approach is also possible. Movement from the top to the bottom or opposite can cause malfunction and should be avoided.
