Response Time Parameters of OMRON F3SG-4RE1630P30

1. Maximum Response Time: 9 SM
2. Supplementary Explanation:

This value refers to total full response duration for the complete set (transmitter + ricevitore) to cut off OSSD safety outputs

This model has 1630mm protective height with a large number of beams, representing the upper response time limit within the same RE series

The maximum value of 9ms must be adopted for safety distance calculation, typical values cannot be used

Total system stop reaction time after pairing with safety relay = 9ms (curtain) + safety relay actuation time

Suggerimenti per la selezione del modello

If ultra-fast braking speed is required, select shorter protective height models from the same RE series; fewer beams deliver faster response speed.
