8 Checkout ProceduresThis section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkoutsmust be performed as described. Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near themachine, and/or in a technical file).8.1 Schedule of CheckoutsCheckout cards and this manual can be downloaded athttp://www.bannerengineering.com.CheckoutProcedure When to Perform Where to Find the Procedure Who Must Performthe ProcedureTrip TestAt InstallationAny time the System, the guarded machine, orany part of the application is altered.Trip Test on page 38 Qualified PersonCommissioningCheckoutAt InstallationWhenever changes are made to the System (forexample, either a new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic or changes to the guardedmachine).Commissioning Checkout on page 52 Qualified PersonShift/Daily CheckoutAt each shift changeMachine setup changeWhenever the System is powered upDuring continuous machine run periods, thischeckout should be performed at intervals not toexceed 24 hours.Daily Checkout Card (Banner p/n 179481)A copy of the checkout results should be recordedand kept in the appropriate place (for example, nearor on the machine, in the machine's technical file).Designated Person orQualified PersonSemi-AnnualCheckoutEvery six months following System installation, orwhenever changes are made to the System (eithera new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN LS Basicor changes to the machine).Semi-Annual Checkout Card (Banner p/n 179483)A copy of the checkout results should be recordedand kept in the appropriate place (for example, nearor on the machine, in the machine's technical file).Qualified Person8.2 Commissioning CheckoutWARNING: Do Not Use Machine Until System Is Working ProperlyIf all of these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Bannerdevice and the guarded machine until the defect or problem has been corrected. Attempts to use theguarded machine under such conditions could result in serious injury or death.Perform this checkout procedure as part of the System installation after the System has been interfaced to the guardedmachine, or whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic or changesto the machine). A Qualified Person must perform the procedure. Checkout results should be recorded and kept on or nearthe guarded machine as required by applicable standards.To prepare the System for this checkout:1. Examine the guarded machine to verify that it is of a type and design compatible with the EZ-SCREEN LS BasicSystem. SeeExamples: Inappropriate Applications on page 10 for a list of misapplications.2. Verify that the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic is configured for the intended application.3. Verify that the safety distance (minimum distance) from the closest danger point of the guarded machine to thedefined area is not less than the calculated distance, perCalculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) onpage 20.4. Verify that:• Access to any dangerous parts of the guarded machine is not possible from any direction not protected bythe EZ-SCREEN LS Basic System, hard (fixed) guarding, or supplemental safeguarding, and• It is not possible for a person to stand between the defined area and the dangerous parts of the machine, or• Supplemental safeguarding and hard (fixed) guarding, as described by the appropriate safety standards, arein place and functioning properly in any space (between the defined area and any hazard) which is largeenough to allow a person to stand undetected by the EZ-SCREEN LS Basic.5. If used, verify that all reset switches are mounted outside and in full view of the guarded area, out of reach ofanyone inside the guarded area, and that means of preventing inadvertent use is in place.EZ-SCREEN® LS Basic Safety Light Screen52 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: 763.544.3164
