6 System Installation
6.1 Appropriate Application
The correct application of the Safety Controller depends on the type of machine and the safeguards that are to be
interfaced with the Controller. If there is any concern about whether or not your machinery is compatible with
this Controller, contact Banner Engineering.
WARNING: Not a Safeguarding Device
This Banner device is considered complementary equipment that is used to augment safeguarding that
limits or eliminates an individual's exposure to a hazard without action by the individual or others.
Failure to properly safeguard hazards according to a risk assessment, local regulations, and
relevant standards may lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING: User Is Responsible for Safe Application of this device
The application examples described in this document depict generalized guarding situations. Every
guarding application has a unique set of requirements.
Make sure that all safety requirements are met and that all installation instructions are followed. Direct
any questions regarding safeguarding to a Banner applications engineer at the number or addresses
listed this document.
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
The Banner Safety Controller is a control device that is intended to be used in conjunction with a
machine safeguarding device. Its ability to perform this function depends upon the appropriateness of
the application and upon the Safety Controller's proper mechanical and electrical installation and
interfacing to the machine to be guarded.
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
Safety Controller cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user is responsible for
satisfying all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application. Make sure that all safety requirements have
been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this document are
followed.
6.2 Installing the Safety Controller
Do not exceed the operating specifications for reliable operation. The enclosure must provide adequate heat dissipation so
page 11 ).
Important: Mount the Safety Controller in a location that is free from large shocks and high-amplitude
vibration.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can cause damage to electronic equipment. To prevent this,
follow the proper ESD handling practices such as wearing an approved wrist strap or other grounding
products, or touching a grounded object before handling the modules. See ANSI/ESD S20.20 for further
information about managing ESD.
6.2.1 Mounting Instructions
The Safety Controller mounts to a standard 35 mm DIN-rail track. It must be installed inside an enclosure rated NEMA 3
(IEC IP54) or better. It should be mounted to a vertical surface with the vent openings at the bottom and the top to allow
for natural convection cooling.
Follow the mounting instructions to avoid damage to the controller.
To mount the XS/SC26-2 Safety Controllers:
1. Tilt the top of the module slightly backward and place it on the DIN rail.
2. Straighten the module against the rail.
3. Lower the module onto the rail.
