Commissioning
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
requirements in the Machine and Work Equipment Directives (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 Pre-commissioning test notes
WARNING
Ensure that you do not place anybody at risk during initial commissioning of the
machine!
Always expect that the machine, plant or the protective device does not yet behave as you
have planned.
Ensure that there are no persons in the hazardous area during initial 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 101).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the multiple light
beam safety device are correctly instructed by specialist 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 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 after the first commissioning are detected.
If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the
multiple light beam safety device has been modified or repaired, check the plant again
as per the checklist in the annex.
7.3.3 Daily functional checks of the protective device
The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily or prior to the start of
work by a specialist or by authorised personnel, using the correct test rod.
WARNING
Do not operate the machine if the green or yellow LED is lit during the test!
If the green or yellow LED lights up during the test even for a short period, work must stop
at the machine. In this case the mounting and the configuration of the multiple light beam
safety device must be checked by specialised personnel (see chapter 5 and chapter 8).
