SF4B-C SERIES
Plastic × metal
The SF4B-C series features a proprietary double structure of a “plastic body” with a “metal inner frame”
which lightens the weight while maintaining the durability.
Light weight
Large multi-purpose indicator
The SF4B-C series incorporates a large multi-purpose indicator (orange) positioned around workers’
eye level. The indicator shows the presence of the light curtain, helping to prevent unintentional
beam interruption. The indicator can be used in a variety of applications such as a muting indicator
and work indicator.
High functionality
Exceptional visibility
with wide angle
The large multi-purpose indicator
shines brightly through the plastic body
to ensure exceptional visibility.
Thanks to its plastic body, the SF4B-C
series is 45% lighter* than previous
models with aluminum enclosures. This
helps to reduce the overall weight of the
equipment during transport and when
shipping it overseas.

Despite its compact, plastic body, the
SF4B-C series features a metal inner
frame that increases toughness and
also keeps its enclosure not to curve.
Protective heights range from 263.4 mm
to 1,943.4 mm 10.370 in to 76.512 in.

■ PNP / NPN polarity support
Since a single model number can be switched between PNP and
NPN input, fewer model numbers need to be registered.
■ External device monitor function
External devices (such as safety relays, etc.) can be directly
connected to the handy-controller without any dedicated unit,
simplifying installation, reducing costs, and helping to avoid
various problems.
■
Extraneous light check & avoid (ELCA) function
The ELCA function reduces interference without an interference
prevention line.
■ Beam-axis alignment indicator
Beam-axis alignment indicators are indicated in 4 blocks, allowing
to see at a glance where light is being received.
Muting control function for
individual beams: Limit the
muting area
The SFB-HC handy-controller (optional) allows
to perform muting control for certain beams
only. Since beam channels can be specified,
so there is no need to install a separate guard
to prevent intrusions. For example, according
to the height of a sensing object, when muting
control from the lowermost beam channel to
the 10th beam channel is activated, the light
curtain will detect any beam interruption at the
11th or higher beam channel as a human entry
and stop the machinery.
Fixed blanking function:
Choose active beam channels
The SFB-HC handy-controller provides a
fixed blanking function that prevents
control output (OSSD) from turning off
even if certain beam channels are
interrupted. This function is convenient
for applications where an obstacle
always interrupts certain beam channels.
Additionally, it is safe since control output
(OSSD) is forcibly turned off in the event
the obstruction moves outside the
detection area.
Use output and indicators to achieve
preventive maintenance when the incident
light intensity gets unstable
By setting the auxiliary output switching function to off or on
when light reception becomes unstable, the light curtain
provides notification in the event of a reduction in the incident
light intensity due to beam misalignment or dirt via auxiliary
output (non-safety output) in addition to the incident light
intensity indicator.
Notes: 1) An incident light intensity value of 100 % refers to the threshold value
at which control outputs (OSSD1, OSSD2) change from off to on.
2) Interruption of the light refers to the presence of an object interrupts
beam in the detection area.
3) This setting is not available when using muting control for
individual beams, fixed blanking, or floating blanking.
Floating blanking function:
Disable unspecified beams
The floating blanking function allows to
disable up to three unspecified beam
channels. Control output (OSSD) will not
turn off as long as the number of
interrupted beam channels is less than
the set number of beam channels. This
function is convenient when an obstruction
moves inside the detection area during
setup changes or when loading materials
within the detection area of light curtain.
*The min. sensing object will change when the
floating blanking function is used.

Interlock function
•The selection of manual reset / automatic reset is
available by applying the interlock input (pale purple)
wiring. The interlock becomes available by selecting
manual reset.
Manual reset
•The control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD 2) are not turned
ON automatically even though this device is received the
light. When this device is reset in light received state
[open the emission halt input / reset input → short-circuit
the device to 0 V or +V → open], the control outputs
(OSSD 1, OSSD 2) are turned ON.
Automatic reset
•The control outputs

Emission halt function
•This function stops the emission process of the emitter.
You can select whether emission is on or halted by
means of the connection status for the emission halt input
/ reset input wire (pink).
•During emission halt, the control outputs (OSSD 1, OSSD
2) become OFF status.
• By using this function, malfunction due to extraneous
noise or abnormality in the control outputs (OSSD 1,
OSSD 2) and the auxiliary output can be determined
even from the machinery side.
•Normal operation is restored when the emission halt input
/ reset input wire (pink) is connected to 0 V or +V (for
manual reset: open).
•It is possible to change the conditions for interlocking by
using the handy-controller SFB-HC (optional). Refer to
instruction manual enclosed with this product for details.
In case of using the interlock function, be sure
there exists no operator inside of the
dangerous area. It causes death or serious
injury without the conrmation.
