by competent persons in the following situations:
• Prior to the initial start-up
• Following modifications to the machine
• After longer machine downtime
• Following retrofitting or new configuration of the machine
Ä As preparation, check the most important criteria for the safety sensor according to the following check-
list (see chapter 9.1.1 "Checklist for integrator – to be performed prior to the initial start-up and following
modifications"). Completing the checklist does not replace testing by a competent person!
ð Not until proper function of the safety sensor is ascertained may it be integrated in the control circuit of
the system.
