Test Instructions
7. 2 Regular testing of the safety
device by experts
The inspection should be carried out in accordance with
valid national regulations at the intervals defined in the
regulations. The intention of these inspections is to detect
any changes or manipulations of the protective devices
since the original commissioning.
The inspections should also be carried out whenever major
modifications are made to the machine or protection
equipment, as well as after re-adjustment or repairs in the
event of damage occurring to housing, front panel,
connecting cable, etc.
7. 3 Daily testing of the safety device
by authorised personnel
The daily test ensures that the system is providing effective
protection to personnel.
This is necessary to detect any modifications to the mounting
of the system since the last test. It could then be possible for
the hazardous area to become unprotected and allow for ex-
ample reach over or under. When used with LCU-P (or similar
safety controller) a blanking configuration could exist for the
current job, this must be tested for.
To check that undetected access to the hazardous area
between the opto-electronic device and the mechanical
guarding is not possible:
1. Close to sender: Access opening at protective field limits
