Commissioning
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 Directive (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.
Pre-commissioning tests
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 “Checklist for
the manufacturer” on page 55).
Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety camera system
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.
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 helps confirm that any changes on the machine or
manipulations of the protective device after the initial commissioning are detected.
If any modifications have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the
safety camera system has been changed or repaired, the system must be checked again as
specified in the checklist in the annex.
Tests of the protective device by a
specialist or authorized
personnel
Commissioning requires a thorough check by qualified safety
personnel.
Before you operate a system protected by the SC300 safety
sensor system for the first time, make sure that the system is first
checked and released by qualified safety personnel. Please read
the notes in the “On safety” chapter on page 6.
ATTENTION
Do not operate the machine if the green or yellow LED is lit
during the test. During the check only the Red LED is allowed
to illuminate.
If the or the LED lights up during the test even for a short
period, work must stop at the machine. In this case the
installation of the safety sensor system must be checked by
qualified safety personnel.
