1.
Move the test rod slowly through the protective field to be protected (e.g., machine
opening as indicated by the arrow, see figure 17, page 29).
2. Watch the OSSD LED on the receiver during the check. The OSSD LED on the
receiver should continuously light up red. The OSSD LED must not illuminate
green.

3.
Then, guide the test rod along the edges of the area to be protected as indicated
by the arrow, see figure 18.
4. Watch the OSSD LED on the receiver during the check. The OSSD LED on the
receiver should continuously light up red. The OSSD LED must not illuminate
green.

5.
If one or more deflector mirrors are used, then the test rod should also be guided
slowly through the area to be protected directly in front of the deflector mirrors.
6. Watch the OSSD LED on the receiver during the check. The OSSD LED on the
