Omron F3SJ-A0870N30 Safety Light Curtain
Omron F3SJ-A0870N30 is a Safety Light Curtain configured for hand and arm protection across an 870 mm protective height. Its optical field contains 35 beam axes arranged with a 25 mm beam gap and uses an 870 nm infrared LED light source. The sensing range extends from 0.2 to 9 m, and the unit operates from a 24 VDC supply. An M12 8-pin connector and NPN transistor outputs provide electrical integration with the machine safety system. Within the F3SJ Series, the F3SJ-A0870N30 provides extended hand and arm coverage.

The Omron F3SJ-A0870N30 Safety Light Curtain provides hand and arm protection across an 870 mm protective height. Its optical sensing field contains 35 beam axes arranged with a 25 mm beam gap and uses an 870 nm infrared LED light source. The operating range extends from 0.2 to 9 m, while electrical operation is based on a 24 VDC supply. An M12 8-pin connector provides the safety-system interface. Two NPN transistor outputs support maximum load currents of 300 mA each. Output short-circuit and power-supply reverse-polarity protection are specified, while the enclosure carries an IP65 rating.
For model comparison, the F3SJ-A0870N30 should be evaluated by its 25 mm beam spacing, 870 mm protective height, NPN output type, M12 connection, and sensing distance. These characteristics define the hand and arm protection field and control-system compatibility. Related NPN models use finer beam spacing where the required protection category changes to hand or finger detection. For a hand-protection configuration with a 15 mm beam gap and 1025 mm protective height, see Omron F3SJ-A1025N20.
