Configuration Recommendations
Storing Configuration Settings
When the Scanner successfully stops the machine during the test and no further safety system checks are needed, the system can be powered
down. The Scanner stores the configuration settings in memory for future use.
Scanner Removal from Machine
If the Scanner is to be removed from the machine and stored for a period of time, the recommendation is to restore the Scanner default
configuration settings. Reset the Scanner to the factory settings (see AG4soft Software Instruction Manual).

Restart
WARNING . . . BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE MACHINE
Verify that the guarded area is clear of personnel and unwanted materials (such as tools) before applying power to the
guarded machine.
Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING . . . PERIODIC CHECKOUTS
The commissioning, periodic and daily safety system checks must be performed by appropriate personnel at the appropriate
times in order to ensure that the safety system is operating as intended.
Failure to perform these checks may create a
potentially dangerous situation which could lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING . . . DO NOT USE MACHINE UNTIL SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY
If all of these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use or operate the machine until the defect or problem has
been corrected. Attempts to use the guarded machine under such conditions could result in serious bodily injury or
death.
Restarting the Machine with the Scanner
If the system has only been temporarily shut down with the Scanner and a restart to the system is done without any changes, it can be restarted
with the Scanner using the configuration that applied with the shutdown. The configuration remains saved in the Scanner.
Perform a functional check.
After modification or reconfiguration, start up the machine with the Scanner.
WARNING . . . UNPREDICTABLE MACHINE STARTUP
There is a risk of unpredictable machine behavior at the initial start up of the machine. The Qualified Person must
take precautions to ensure that no one is in or near the hazardous area during these safety system tests.
If significant changes have been performed on the machine or the Scanner has been re-configured, the Scanner must be checked as with the
first start-up.
Test the Scanner (see
Section 7.6
