9.2.3 Daily testing of the protective device by a specialist or authorized personnel
The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily by a specialist or by
authorized personnel. The test must also be performed if the operating mode is changed.
No further operation if errors occur during the test!
If any one of the following points is not met, it is not permitted to continue to work on the
machine or operate the vehicle. In this case the installation of the S300 must be checked
by qualified safety personnel (see section 9.2.2 “Regular inspection of the protective
device by qualified safety personnel” on page 100).
The test must be carried out for the relevant preset monitoring case.
Check the mechanical installation to ensure that all mounting screws are secure and
that the is properly aligned S300.
Check each S300 device for visible changes such as damage, manipulation etc.
Switch on the machine/system.
Watch the LEDs on each S300.
If not at least one LED of each S300 is permanently lit when the machine/system is
switched on, it is to be assumed that there is a fault in the machine or system. In this
case the machine must be shut down immediately and checked by qualified safety
personnel.
Deliberately infringe the protective field without risk to any personnel while the machine
is running in order to test the protective function for the entire system. The LEDs of the
S300 must change from green to red and the dangerous movement must stop immedi-
ately. If the S300, with the protective field that you are interrupting, switches the OSSDs
on another device (see 4.6 “OSSDs” on page 39), then on this device the LEDs must
change from green to red and the dangerous movement on the machine or system
connected must come to an immediate stop.
Repeat this test at different points in the hazardous area and on all S300 devices. If you
discover any non-conformance of this function, the machine/system must be shut down
immediately and checked by qualified safety personnel.
For stationary applications, check that the hazardous areas marked out on the floor
match the shapes of the protective fields stored in the S300 and that any gaps are
protected by additional safety measures. In the case of mobile applications, check that
the moving vehicle actually stops in a timely manner at the protective field boundaries
which are set in the S300 and listed on the information label on the vehicle or in the
configuration protocol. If you discover any non-conformance of this function, the ma-
chine/system/vehicle must be stopped immediately and checked by qualified safety
personnel.
