EZ-SCREEN

®

 Type 2 Light Screen 

Semi-Annual Checkout

WARNING . . . 

Do Not Use Machine Until System Is 

Working Properly

If all of these checks cannot be verified, do not 

attempt to use the EZ-SCREEN Type 2/guarded 

machine until the defect or problem has been corrected 

(see 

Troublshooting and Maintenance 

in the Instruction 

Manual).

 

Attempts to use the guarded machine under such 

conditions could result in an increased risk of harm.

!

12)     Initiate machine motion of the guarded machine

 and, 

while it is moving, insert the supplied test piece into the 

defined area. Do not attempt to insert the test piece into the 

hazardous parts of the machine. Upon blocking any beam, 

the hazardous parts of the machine should come to a stop 

with no apparent delay. Upon removal of the test piece 

from the defined area, verify that 

the machine does not 

automatically restart

, and that the initiation devices must be 

engaged to restart the machine.

13)     Remove electrical power to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.

 All 

OSSD outputs should immediately turn OFF, and should not 

be capable of turning ON until power is re-applied and, if 

a Latch Output model, a manual reset is performed (Trip 

Output models require no manual reset).

10)     

After both Alignment indicators are ON Yellow and the Status 

Clear indicator is ON Green, 

perform the trip test

 (described 

on the Daily Checkout card) to verify proper System 

operation and to detect possible reflection problems.

WARNING . . . 

If Trip Test Indicates a Problem

If the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 does not respond properly 

to the trip test, do not attempt to use the System.

 

If this occurs, the System cannot be relied upon to stop 

dangerous machine motion when a person or object enters 

the defined area.

 

An increased risk of harm could result.

!

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 an increased risk of harm.

!

11)    Apply power to the guarded machine and verify that the 

machine does not start up. 

Insert the test piece into the 

defined area and verify that it is not possible for the guarded 

machine to be put into motion while a beam is blocked.

14)     Test the machine stopping response time,

 using an 

instrument designed for that purpose, to verify that it is the 

same or less than the overall system response time specified 

by the machine manufacturer. (Banner’s Applications 

Engineering Department can recommend a suitable 

instrument.)

Do not continue operation until the entire checkout procedure 

is complete and all problems are corrected.

15)      If any decrease in machine braking ability has occurred,

 

make the necessary clutch/brake repairs, readjust separation 

distance (Ds) appropriately, record the new Ds calculation on 

the Daily Checkout Procedure card and/or in the Instruction 

Manual, and re-perform the Daily Checkout procedure.

16)    Examine and test the machine primary control elements

 

(MPCEs) and any intermediary controls (such as interface 

modules) to verify that they are functioning correctly and are 

not in need of maintenance or replacement.

17)    

 

Inspect the guarded machine to verify that no other 

mechanical or structural problems could prevent the 

machine from stopping

 or assuming an otherwise safe 

condition when signaled to do so by the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.

18)    

 

Examine and inspect the machine controls and connections 

to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2

 to verify that no modifications have 

been made which adversely affect the System.

Do not continue operation until the entire checkout procedure is 

complete and all problems are corrected.
