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 S3000 must be checked
b
y qualified safety personnel (see section 9.2.2 “Regular inspection of the protective
device by qualified safety personnel” on page 122).
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 S3000 is properly aligned.
Check each S3000 for visible changes such as damage, manipulation etc.
Switch on the machine/system.
Monitor the LEDs on each S3000.
If at least one LED is not 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 obstruct 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 S3000 must change from green to red and the dangerous movement
must stop immediately. If the S3000, with the protective field that you are interrupting,
switches the OSSDs on another S3000 or the OSSDs on an interface of the sens:Control
series via EFI, 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 S3000. 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 S3000 and that any gaps are
protected by additional safety measures. In the case of mobile applications, check that
the moving vehicle actually stops at the protective field boundaries which are set in the
S3000 and listed on the information label in the vehicle or in the configuration protocol.
If you discover any non-conformance of this function, the machine/system/vehicle must
be stopped immediately and checked by qualified safety personnel.
