Omron F3SJ-A0815N20 Safety Light Curtain
Omron F3SJ-A0815N20 is a Safety Light Curtain designed for 20 mm hand protection across an 815 mm protective height. Its sensing field contains 54 infrared beams positioned with a 15 mm beam gap to detect opaque objects entering the monitored machine opening. The operating range extends from 0.2 to 9 m, while the unit operates from a 24 VDC supply. An M12 8-pin connector and NPN transistor outputs provide the safety-system interface. Within the F3SJ Series, the F3SJ-A0815N20 combines 20 mm hand detection with extended vertical coverage.

The Omron F3SJ-A0815N20 Safety Light Curtain provides 20 mm hand detection across an 815 mm protective height. Its sensing field uses 54 infrared beams positioned with a 15 mm beam gap to detect opaque objects entering the guarded area. The operating range extends from 0.2 to 9 m, while the unit operates from a 24 VDC ±20% supply. An M12 8-pin connector provides electrical connection. Two NPN transistor outputs support a maximum load current of 300 mA each. Output short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection are specified, while the enclosure carries an IP65 protection rating.
When selecting the F3SJ-A0815N20, its 20 mm detection capability, 815 mm protective height, 15 mm beam spacing, NPN output configuration, and sensing distance should be considered together. These values define the extended hand-protection field and machine safety interface. A shorter model from a different protection class can be considered where the guarded opening and required detection capability are smaller. For a 245 mm hand and arm protection configuration with a 25 mm beam gap, see Omron F3SJ-A0245P30.
