Omron F3SJ-A1170N55 Safety Light Curtain
Omron F3SJ-A1170N55 is a Safety Light Curtain configured for 55 mm leg and body protection across a 1170 mm protective height. Its sensing field contains 24 infrared beams arranged with a 50 mm beam gap to detect opaque objects entering a tall guarded 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 electrical connection with the safety system. Within the F3SJ Series, the F3SJ-A1170N55 provides extended body-detection coverage.

The Omron F3SJ-A1170N55 Safety Light Curtain provides 55 mm leg and body detection across a 1170 mm protective height. Its sensing field contains 24 infrared beams arranged with a 50 mm beam gap to detect opaque objects entering the protected machine area. The sensing 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 rating.
For model selection, the F3SJ-A1170N55 should be evaluated by its 55 mm detection capability, 1170 mm protective height, 50 mm beam spacing, NPN output type, and sensing distance. These specifications define the body-protection field and differentiate the model from hand or finger protection variants. The supplied comparison data includes a hand and arm model with closer beam spacing and a much shorter protective height. For a 620 mm hand and arm protection configuration with a 25 mm beam gap, see Omron F3SJ-A0620P30.
