Banner SC22-3E Safety Controller with Ethernet - Manual (Page 26)

4 System Installation
4.1 Appropriate Application
The correct application of the Safety Controller is dependent on the type of machine and the safeguards that are to be interfaced with the
Controller. The Controller is generally interfaced with safeguards that may be used only on machinery that is capable of stopping motion
immediately upon receiving a stop signal and at any point in its machine cycle. It is the user’s responsibility to verify whether the safe-
guarding is appropriate for the application and is installed as instructed by the appropriate installation manuals. If there is any doubt
about whether or not your machinery is compatible with this Controller, contact a Banner Applications Engineer.
WARNING: . . . Not a Stand-Alone Device
This Safety Controller is not a stand-alone point-of-operation guarding device, as defined by OSHA regulations. It is
necessary to install point-of-operation guarding devices, such as safety light screens and/or hard guards, to protect personnel
from hazardous machinery. Failure to install point-of-operation guards on hazardous machinery can result in a dan-
gerous condition which could lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING: . . . User Is Responsible for Safe Application of this Product
The application examples described in this document depict generalized guarding situations. Every guarding applica-
tion has a unique set of requirements.
Extreme care is urged to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that all installation instructions are followed.
Direct any questions regarding safeguarding to a factory applications engineer at the number or addresses listed in the back
of this document.
WARNING: . . . Shock Hazard and Hazardous Energy
Always disconnect power from the safety system (e.g., device, module, interfacing, etc.) and the machine being con-
trolled before making any connections or replacing any component.
Electrical installation and wiring must be made by Qualified Personnel and must comply with the relevant electrical standards
and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), ANSI NFPA79, or IEC 60204-1, and all applicable local stand-
ards and codes.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the appropriate standard
for controlling hazardous energy.
WARNING: . . . Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
The Banner Safety Controller is an accessory device that is typically used in conjunction with a machine safeguarding device.
Its ability to perform this function depends upon the appropriateness of the application and upon the Safety Control-
ler’s proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the machine to be guarded.
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Safety Controller
cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user has the responsibility to ensure that all local, state,
and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and use of this control system in any particular appli-
cation are satisfied. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical
installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. Read Section 3 (and its subsections) of
this manual carefully before installing the system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily
injury or death.
