Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of + 20 ℃ + 68 ℉.
2) Due to revisions of safety light curtain standards (Electro-sensitive protective equipment), type 2 safety light curtains are limited to PLc and SIL1regarding PL and SIL standards.
3) Not compatible when using the bottom cap cable SF2B-CB05-A.
4) When using auxiliary output (AUX), the compatible cable SF2B-CB05-B (sold separately) cannot be used.
5) SF2B-H8-□ and SF2B-A4-□ cannot be connected in series.
6) When making series connection mixing SF2B-H□ and SF2B-A□, calculate by doubling the number of optical axes only for SF2B-A□, and make the total number of optical axes fall below 128 axes.
(e.g.) When making series connection with SF2B-H36 and SF2B-A44, the total number of optical axes will be 124 axes. The number of optical axes for
SF2B-H36 + (number of optical axes for SF2B-A44 x 2) = total number of optical axes. 36 optical axes + (44 optical axes x 2) = 124 optical axes.
7) Intermediate supporting bracket MS-SF2B-2 is included with the following products. The number included varies as follows depending on the product.
