ENGLISH
5. Test Results Confirmation
❏
If the SL-C or the machine to which the SL-C has been installed fails any part of the above test,
operation should be ceased until satisfactory test results are obtained.
❏
A record of the test results must be maintained.
WARNING
If the SL-C does not function as described in the test procedure, do not attempt to
operate the machine to which the SL-C has been installed. Such an operation may
lead to serious harm, including serious injury or death of the machine operator.
4-2 Maintenance
4-2-1 Inspection Prior to Daily Operation
Use the following checklist to confirm the function of the SL-C and the machine before starting a day's
operation.
The checklist below covers the minimum test items required before using the SL-C each day. It is
strongly recommended to add the necessary checking items to this checklist based on the judgment of
the responsible personnel since additional criteria may be necessary depending on the machine to
which the SL-C is installed and the standards and regulations of the country or region in which it is
used.
In addition, note that it is a duty of the responsible personnel to train the machine operators regarding
maintenance of the machine and the SL-C.
The result of this inspection must be kept on record along with the machine log.
Note that the following list is made with the assumption that the Intelligent Safety Relay Unit SL-R11(E)
is used and the start and restart interlock functions are in effect.
1. Installation Conditions Check
❏
The SL-C has been installed in such a way that no machine operator can access the hazardous
zone or hazards within the machine without passing through the detection zone of the SL-C.
❏
The minimum safety distance has been calculated by observing the standards and regulations of
the country or region of use, and the SL-C has been installed at a distance greater than the mini-
mum safety distance from the hazardous zone or hazards.
❏
The SL-C has been installed at a location free from interfering lights, such as external lights from
inverter-controlled fluorescent lamps and glossy surfaces.
❏
There is no damage on cable shields. Also, there is no possibility that cables may be broken or
short-circuited by getting caught in the machine or crushed.
Also confirm the following if the Intelligent Extension Unit (SL-R12EX) is being used. Note that SL-
C**L having the detection capability of 45 mm diameter cannot be used , because they cannot be
combined with the SL-R12 EX.
❏
If the floating blanking function is used - the minimum safety distance has been determined based
on the altered detection capability and applied in the SL-C installation.
❏
If the floating blanking function is used - it has been confirmed that the actual number of beam axes
for which the floating blanking function has been enabled matches the number of beam axes set to
enable this function.
❏
If the fixed blanking function is used - additional safety protective equipment has been installed to
protect the entire detection zone for which the blanking function has been enabled.
❏
If the Blanking Blind Protection Unit (SL-C08SB/SL-C16SB) is used - it has been confirmed that the
test piece is detectable in all detection zones including the detection zone in which detection by the
Blanking Blind Protection Unit is possible.
