Omron F3W-MA0300P Safety Light Curtain
Omron F3W-MA0300P is an Area/Light Curtain Sensor configured with 30 mm detection and 20 infrared beams. Its optical arrangement uses a 300 mm gap between the muting trigger beams and an 870 nm infrared LED light source. The sensing range is selectable as 0.3 to 20 m for long mode or 0.3 to 7 m for short mode. M12 connectors are specified with a 5-pin emitter and 8-pin receiver, while the unit operates from a SELV/PELV 24 VDC supply. Within the F3W Series, the F3W-MA0300P identifies this 20-beam configuration.

The Omron F3W-MA0300P Area/Light Curtain Sensor provides 30 mm detection using 20 infrared beams with a 300 mm gap between the muting trigger beams. Its optical system uses 870 nm infrared LEDs, with a selectable sensing range of 0.3 to 20 m in long mode or 0.3 to 7 m in short mode. M12 connectors are specified with a 5-pin emitter and 8-pin receiver, while the unit operates from a SELV/PELV 24 VDC ±20% supply. Two PNP transistor outputs support maximum load currents of 300 mA each with a residual voltage of 2 V maximum. Output short protection and power-supply reverse-polarity protection are specified, while IP65 and IP67 enclosure ratings are listed.
When evaluating the F3W-MA0300P, the 30 mm detection capability, 20-beam arrangement, 300 mm muting-trigger beam gap, selectable sensing range, M12 connector configuration, and PNP outputs should be considered together. A related F3W model uses the same 30 mm detection principle but reduces the muting-trigger beam gap to 100 mm and uses 8 infrared beams. This makes it a more relevant same-series comparison than linking to unrelated light curtain configurations with different protection categories. For the 8-beam configuration with a 100 mm muting-trigger beam gap, see Omron F3W-MA0100P.
