Commissioning
9.2.1 Pre-commissioning tests
The purpose of the pre-commissioning tests is to confirm the safety requirements
specified in the national/international rules and regulations (EC conformity). This applies
particularly to the safety requirements in the machinery directive or work equipment
directive.
Ensure that you do not place anybody at risk during initial commissioning of the
machine!
Always expect that the machine, system 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 section 14.2
“Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 169).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety laser
scanner 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.
Ensure that the adhesive label Important information, which is included with the safety
laser scanner on delivery, is affixed to the machine in a place where it is clearly visible
for the operators. Ensure that the operators have the possibility to perform this daily
check correctly.
The annex to this document includes a checklist for review by the manufacturer and
OEM. Use this checklist as a reference before commissioning the system for the first
time (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 169).
Document the adjustment of the scanner and the results of the testing during initial
commissioning in a traceable manner. For this purpose also print out the complete
configuration of the scanner (including protective field shapes) and include these with
the documentation.
Use the Create development dump... function in the CDS (right click on the COM
interface to which the safety laser scanner is connected). You can keep these data as a
backup and in this way document the state during initial commissioning at any time.
SICK AG can perform the testing prior to initial commissioning for you.
9.2.2 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 after the initial commissioning are detected.
If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the
safety laser scanner has been modified or repaired, check the system again as per the
checklist in the annex (see section 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 169).
