Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner
6. Safety System Testing
Study each procedure in its entirety, to understand each step thoroughly before beginning. Refer all questions
to a Banner applications engineer, at the address or numbers listed on the back cover of this manual. Checkouts must
be performed as detailed in Section 6.1 below and results must be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (e.g., near
the machine, and/or in a technical file). This must include a printout of the Scanner’s configuration and the shape of all
Protective Fields.
Additional factors and checks may be required that are dependent on the application, machine, or local regulations and
laws. A user risk assessment will determine what these additional factors and checks will be and should be incorporated
with the checkouts below. For easy reference, print out the procedures and post them near the
machine/application.
6.1 Schedule of Checkouts
