A muting control function is provided to increase both safety and productivity
The light curtain is equipped with a
muting control function that causes the
line to stop only when a person passes
through the light curtain, and does not
stop the line when an object passes
through. The muting sensors and
muting lamps can be connected
directly to the light curtain so that a
exclusive controller is not required for
muting. This both reduces costs and
increases safety and productivity.
Override function allows the line to be restarted smoothly after it has stopped while muting control was active
In case the power turns off while the
light curtain has been interrupted by an
object or in case the line stops before
the muting conditions have been
established (if only one muting sensor
has been interrupted), the line can be
restarted smoothly without having to
remove the object that is interrupting
the light curtain.
Equipped with a safety circuit that does not require an exclusive safety relay unit
The light curtain has a built-in external
device monitoring function (such as for
monitoring whether relays have fused)
and an interlock function. The safety
circuit is built without safety relay unit
and size reduction of a control board is
achieved, which contributes to cost
reduction.

Beam-axis alignment indicators show the incident light position at a glance
Beam-axis alignment indicators display the beam channels of the light curtain in four blocks. When the beam channel at the
bottommost channel (or topmost channel), which is used as a reference for beam-axis alignments, is correctly aligned, the
LED blinks red. After this, each block lights red as the beam axes successively become aligned. When all channel beam axes
are aligned, all LEDs light green. The display also has an additional stability indicator (STB) so that setup can be carried out
with greater stability.
A commitment to design that is easy to use
Mutual interference is reduced without
needing interference prevention lines
The light curtain is equipped with the ELCA (Extraneous
Light Check & Avoid) function. Because it automatically
shifts the scan timing of the light curtain in order to avoid
interference, it is not necessary to wire interference
prevention lines between machineries.
Reducing the number of malfunctions
caused by extraneous light
Double scanning method and retry processing are two
new functions exclusive to our company, which
successfully eliminate the effects of momentary
extraneous light from peripheral equipment. The
reduction in operating errors caused by extraneous light
reduces frequent stopping of machinery.
Greatly improved ease of installation
The hexagon-socket head bolts used for aligning the
beam axis can be accessed from the front of the light
curtain. Beam adjustment can be carried out easily while
turning the
bolts. Also,
the beam-axis
alignment
part is directly
and firmly
fixed with M5
bolts so that
beam axes
misalignment
can be
prevented.
Laser alignment tool for easy installation
The tool performs beam-axis alignment using a laser
beam spot. As the tool is battery-operated, it is possible
to perform beam-axis alignment before supplying power
to the equipment.
Easy to distinguish receiver and emitter
Emitter is gray, receiver is black. Whether during startup
or maintenance, troubles due to incorrect wiring or false
recognition can be greatly reduced. Moreover, the model
No. can be checked at the front face of the light curtain.

Options exclusive for light curtain are available
for an easy construction of safety circuit
Separate muting control function for each beam channel
The handy-controller SFB-HC* (optional) can be used to
carry out muting control for specified beam axes only.
Because individual beam axis can be specified to suit
the object, separate guards to prevent entry do not need
to be set up.
For example, depending on the height of the object, the muting function
can be activated for 10 beam channels starting from the bottom, so that
if the 11th or subsequent beam channels are interrupted, it is judged that
a person has entered the area and the line stops.
A variety of other functions can be selected
Emission intensity control function
This function reduces the amount of emitting light. The two modes,
normal mode and short mode, can be selected (factory setting:
normal mode).
Monitoring function
This function allows the user to confirm the details of
each light curtain setting.
Protection function
A password protection can be used to avoid
unauthorized changes of the settings (factory setting:
no password protection).
Copy function
Setting details can be copied to other light curtains.
This is helpful if you need the same settings on
different devices.
Muting lamp diagnosis setting
When the muting lamp diagnosis is disabled, the muting
function will continue to operate even if the lamp is blown.
Refer to the SF4B<V2> manual for details.
Selectable configuration for auxiliary output
Specific beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B series incorporates a fixed blanking function.
The SF4B series is equipped with a fixed blanking function which
allows specific beam channels to be selectively interrupted without
causing the control output (OSSD) to output the OFF signal. This
function is convenient for use with applications in which certain
fixed obstacles tend to block specific beam channels.
Furthermore, this function provides greater safety as the control
output (OSSD) will automatically output the OFF signal if the fixed
obstacles are subsequently removed from the sensing area.
A variable number of beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B series incorporates a floating blanking function.
1, 2 or 3 non-specified beam channels can be deactivated. If the
number of beam channels that are blocked is less than or equal to
the set number of beam channels, then the control output (OSSD)
will not output the OFF signal. This function is useful when the
positions of obstacles within the sensing area must be changed
during object rearrangement, or when an object passes through
the light curtain’s sensing area.

extraneous light from peripheral equipment. The
reduction in operating errors caused by extraneous light
reduces frequent stopping of machinery.
Greatly improved ease of installation
The hexagon-socket head bolts used for aligning the
beam axis can be accessed from the front of the light
curtain. Beam adjustment can be carried out easily while
turning the
bolts. Also,
the beam-axis
alignment
part is directly
and firmly
fixed with M5
bolts so that
beam axes
misalignment
can be
prevented.
Laser alignment tool for easy installation
The tool performs beam-axis alignment using a laser
beam spot. As the tool is battery-operated, it is possible
to perform beam-axis alignment before supplying power
to the equipment.
Easy to distinguish receiver and emitter
Emitter is gray, receiver is black. Whether during startup
or maintenance, troubles due to incorrect wiring or false
recognition can be greatly reduced. Moreover, the model
No. can be checked at the front face of the light curtain.

Options exclusive for light curtain are available
for an easy construction of safety circuit
Separate muting control function for each beam channel
The handy-controller SFB-HC* (optional) can be used to
carry out muting control for specified beam axes only.
Because individual beam axis can be specified to suit
the object, separate guards to prevent entry do not need
to be set up.
For example, depending on the height of the object, the muting function
can be activated for 10 beam channels starting from the bottom, so that
if the 11th or subsequent beam channels are interrupted, it is judged that
a person has entered the area and the line stops.
A variety of other functions can be selected
Emission intensity control function
This function reduces the amount of emitting light. The two modes,
normal mode and short mode, can be selected (factory setting:
normal mode).
Monitoring function
This function allows the user to confirm the details of
each light curtain setting.
Protection function
A password protection can be used to avoid
unauthorized changes of the settings (factory setting:
no password protection).
Copy function
Setting details can be copied to other light curtains.
This is helpful if you need the same settings on
different devices.
Muting lamp diagnosis setting
When the muting lamp diagnosis is disabled, the muting
function will continue to operate even if the lamp is blown.
Refer to the SF4B<V2> manual for details.
Selectable configuration for auxiliary output
Specific beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B series incorporates a fixed blanking function.
The SF4B series is equipped with a fixed blanking function which
allows specific beam channels to be selectively interrupted without
causing the control output (OSSD) to output the OFF signal. This
function is convenient for use with applications in which certain
fixed obstacles tend to block specific beam channels.
Furthermore, this function provides greater safety as the control
output (OSSD) will automatically output the OFF signal if the fixed
obstacles are subsequently removed from the sensing area.
A variable number of beam axes can be deactivated
The SF4B series incorporates a floating blanking function.
1, 2 or 3 non-specified beam channels can be deactivated. If the
number of beam channels that are blocked is less than or equal to
the set number of beam channels, then the control output (OSSD)
will not output the OFF signal. This function is useful when the
positions of obstacles within the sensing area must be changed
during object rearrangement, or when an object passes through
the light curtain’s sensing area.

the user to select a variety of settings SFB-HC

* A handy-controller cannot be used with the SF4B-□-01<V2>,

Note: When the floating blanking function is used, the
acceptable size for the minimum sensing object changes.
Refer to “PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE” (p.30) for
details.

Notes: 1) The output cannot be used while the fixed blanking
function, floating blanking function or the muting
function is activated.
2) This device outputs the beam received / interrupted
state at the detectable area regardless of fixed
blanking function, floating blanking function, and
muting function.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• For calculating the safety distance “S”, there are the
following ve cases.
First calculate by substituting the value K = 2,000
(mm/sec.) in the equation above. Then, classify the
obtained value of “S” into three cases, 1) S < 100, 2)
100 ≤ S ≤ 500, and 3) S > 500. For Case 3) S > 500,
recalculate by substituting the value K = 1,600 (mm/
sec.). After that, classify the calculation result into
two cases, 4) S ≤ 500 and 5) S > 500. For details,
refer to the instruction manual enclosed with this
product. For calculating “Tm” (maximum halt time of
the machinery), use a special device called a “brake
monitor”.
When this device is used in the “PSDI mode”, an
appropriate safety distance “S” must be calculated.
For details, be sure to refer to the standards or
regulations applicable in each region or country.
