When must the protective device be checked?
• The protective device must be checked daily by a specialist or by authorized
personnel.
• The protective device must be checked each time the operator changes.
How to check the protective device:
Check the protective device for correct seating and for damage, in particular the
mounting, the electrical connection, the front screen and the reflective tape.
Check that personnel or body parts can only intrude into the hazardous area through the
protective field of the SC300 (e.g. if a mechanical guard has been removed).
Check whether the protective device is effective for the set operating mode.
Choose the test rod that matches the resolution used. The diameter of the test rod must
correspond to the actual resolution of the system achieved by the resolution set that has
been used.
Guide the test rod slowly along the outer edge of the protective field as shown in
Figure 30.
