NEW for July 2011 F3SJ-E/BType 4 Safety Light Curtain Easy to use Simple to Connect,Fast Installation! Matt Dodds CMM-Safety July 2011 EASYtype BASIC type
Product Positioning Perfect positioning with the best combination of cost and functionality high MS4800 Series Price / Profile F3SJ-A Advanced F3SJ-B Basic F3SJ-Easy low Intrusion detection (ON/OFF) Muting (Cascade connection/ Dead-space-less) Universal (Finger/Hand/Body Muting/Blanking Programmable) Robust Slim [Feature (functionality)]
Features: F3SJ-E “EASY” Type • Competitively Price • Easy Installation • Less wiring • Simple Function
Features: F3SJ-B “BASIC” Type • Series connectable • Built-in Muting available • M12 connectors for maintainability
Easy Wiring! F3SJ-E Pre-wired Model
One Resolution + One Response Time = Faster Design • Decrease design time with simple Safe Distance and Depth penetration factor (Dpf) calculations • All F3SJ-E/B models • 25mm Resolution • 15ms Response Time • According to ANSI's formula, Dpf is calculated as shown below: • Dpf = 3.4 x (d - 7.0): Where d is the detection capability of the F3SJ (unit: mm), d = 25mm • Dpf = 61.2mm for all F3SJ-E/B models
Series Connectable: F3SJ-B (Series connection extension cable F39-J_B, if required) 2. Attach F39-JBR2W cables 3. Connect Next Segment 1. Remove End Caps • Up to 3 sets / 192 beams • Up to 7m cable length max. between each set
Where to use the F3SJ-E / B • F3SJ-E – Pre-wired / 185mm to 1105mm • OEMs looking to reduce costs • Small footprint assembly machines where the control panel is nearby the light curtain is not susceptible to damage due to collisions with the work piece • Applications where there is an external safety controller or relay and EDM functions of the light curtain are not used • F3SJ-B – Connector Version / 185mm to 2065mm • Applications where downtime due to maintenance is a concern • Material Handling with simple mute requirements where taller opening need to be guarded
Stock Strategy • The F3SJ-E pre-wired model is the main stocking version in North America
Price Strategy • F3SJ-B versus F3SJ-A • 185mm to 2065 mm: 10% to 30% lower list price • F3SJ-E versus F3SJ-A • 185mm to 1185 mm: 17% to 25% lower list price, 31% to 33% lower when 3m cables are included • “–E” models are pre-wired and do not utilize connectors nor need extension cables that add extra costs
Selling Strategy • FOCUS ON THE F3SJ-E Pre-wired version • The F3SJ-E is priced very competitively and should be selected for: • New customers, • Customers lost due to competitive pricing situations or; • Customers simply wanting a basic ON/OFF set of light curtains* *External Device Monitoring (EDM) capabilities handled by a safety relay or controller.
What if a quick connect option is required? • 2 options: • 1) Select an F3SJ-A model with 8-pin connectors and the appropriate F39-JC_ extension cables or; • 2) Select an F3SJ-E model and the customer can add field attachable 8-pin connectors • Suggested 8-pin field attachable connectors: • Phoenix Contact: 1513334 / SACC-M12MS-8CON-PG9-M • Recommended Extension Cables: • F39-JC_ series are used with the F3SJ-A series of light curtains and a fully compatible with the F3SJ-E/B models, the only difference is the colour of one wire, refer to the Cable Differences section below.
How to Order: F3SJ-E • Select the appropriate Light Curtain length • Recommended: 305mm, 625mm, 945mm or 1105mm • Select appropriate brackets • New Installation: F39-LJB1; set of 4 top and bottom mount brackets. • Retrofit Installation: F39-LJB4; set of 4 top and bottom mount brackets, these have elongated holes to allow for use of the existing mounting holes.
Tech Note: Extension Cables Differences • F39-JD_ Cable • F39-JC_ Cable

F3SJ-E/B Competitive Overview Keyence SL-VH Schmersal SLC430 Banner LP
Summary • In a competitive comparison between the Omron F3SJ-E/B and the equivalent models from Banner, Schmersal, Keyence, Omron excelled with: • Best List Price • Fastest Overall Response Time • Lowest Power Consumption • Secondarily the F3SJ-E/B beat 2 of 3 competitors with Mutual Interference Protection and Visible Alignment Indicators, and wide Power Supply voltage range.
Omron F3SJ-E/B versus Banner LP Series • The Omron F3SJ-E/B beat Banner’s list price by as much as 22.9% • No mention of mutual interference protection from other light curtains, only immunity to strobe lights such as those found on AGVs and Forklifts • No Built-in Mute Capability • No Visible Alignment Indicators only a bar graph display • Up to 38% slower response time • Up to a 25% higher power consumption
Omron F3SJ-E/B versus Schmersal SLC430 Series • The Omron F3SJ-E/B list price could not be compared to Schmersal due to the inability to find List Prices, however the SLC430 series is believed to be comparable to new Omron series. Of the 3 competitors compared Schmersal had the most downfalls: • Separate controller requiring panel space and extra wiring • Separate ground connection from the connection cable to the housing of the emitter and receiver – increasing installation time • Only a 3.5m operating range • No mention of mutual interference protection • No Built-in Mute Capability • No Visible Alignment Indicators, only received light indicator • The slowest response time by 70% • Up to a 47% higher power consumption
Omron F3SJ-E/B versus Keyence SL-VH Series • The Omron F3SJ-E/B beat Keyence’s list price by as much as 15.7%*, comparison does not include connection cables that are available separately • Up to 33% slower response time • Up to a 42% higher power consumption *NOTE: Keyence sells direct to customers and bypasses the distributor markups, therefore it may be necessary to request a Special Price from Omron when dealing with competitive situations.
