are active (high) i.e. green.
7.3 Test notes
The purpose of the tests described in the following is to confirm the safety requirements
specified in the national/international rules and regulations, especially the safety require-
ments in the Machine and Work Equipment Directive (EU Conformity).
These tests are also used to identify if the protection is affected by external light sources
or other unusual ambient effects.
These tests must therefore always be performed.
7.3.1 Tests before the first commissioning
Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the machine, using all
selectable operating modes as specified in the checklist in the annex (see 13.2 on
page 78).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine in which the C4000 Select is in-
stalled are correctly instructed by qualified safety personnel before being allowed to
operate the machine. Instructing the operating personnel is the responsibility of the
machine owner.
Annex 13.2 of this document shows a checklist for review by the manufacturer and
OEM. Use this checklist as a reference before commissioning the system for the first
time.
7.3.2 Regular inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel
Check the system, following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and
regulations. This procedure ensures that any changes on the machine or manipulations
of the protective device are detected before use/re-use.
If any modifications have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the
safety light curtain has been changed or repaired, the system must be checked again as
specified in the checklist in the annex.
