OS32C
User’s Manual

Do not modify the main unit of the OS32C. Do not replace or fix any component of the OS32C
other than the ones specified in this manual. Doing so may result in a failure of this device to
function correctly.
If there is any damage to the window, replace them as soon as possible. Otherwise it may result in
a failure of the OS32C. Take preventive measures when performing replacement work so that dust
does not enter the OS32C.
Always detach all cables from the OS32C before replacing the scan window. Otherwise the motor
may start rotating, resulting in injuries.
The tests outlined in this Test Procedure (See "Checkout and Test Procedure Log" in p.144) must
be performed at time of installation, according to the employer's regular inspection program and
after any maintenance, tooling change, set up, adjustment, or modification to the OS32C system or
the guarded machine. Where a guarded machine is used by multiple operators or shifts, it is
suggested that the test procedure be performed at each shift or operation change and also if there is a change
in the OS32C operating mode or defined zone sets. Testing ensures that the safety laser scanner and the
machine control system are working properly to stop the machine. Failure to test properly could result in
serious injury to personnel.
If the OS32C is operated under automatic start, make sure that the machine stops and does not
restart as long as an object is detected in a safety zone. Check the operation by placing a test
piece into the safety zone. It is recommended to perform the test at least after a shift change or 24
hours of operation.
If the safety system or the machine fails any of these tests, do not run the machine. Immediately
tag or lock out the machine to prevent its use and notify the appropriate supervisor.
This laser scanner may not be sold or imported into, or used in, the Federal Republic of Germany
prior to December 1, 2013.
