Sourcing reality — discontinued
The SF4B-F71-01(V2) is discontinued by Panasonic. No official successor is listed. Sourcing is limited to surplus or broker channels — submit an RFQ for current availability and lead time.
What it guards and how
Rated IP65/IP67 — dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. That holds for washdown environments as long as the connector is properly seated. Operating temperature is -10°C to 55°C.
Mounting and integration notes
Supplied in a box — emitter and receiver pair. 24VDC supply. Protective height of 710mm means the guarded zone starts at the bottom beam and ends at the top. Mounting brackets are standard for the SF4B family; alignment aids are on the housing. For blanking and muting, wire the external inputs per the manual — the logic is handled inside the unit, no external controller needed.
