5 Initial Checkout
The initial checkout procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person, and must be performed only after configuring the
System and after connections are made.
Initial checkout is performed on two occasions:
1. To ensure proper installation when the System is first installed, and
2. To ensure proper System function whenever any maintenance or modification is performed on the System or on the
machinery being guarded by the System.
For the initial checkout, the SX5 must be checked without power being available to the guarded machine.
Final interface connections to the guarded machine cannot take place until the SX5 has been checked out. This may require
lockout/tagout procedures (refer to OSHA1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the appropriate standard for controlling hazardous
energy). These connections will be made after the initial checkout procedure has been successfully completed.
5.1 Apply Initial Power and Configure the Scanner
Verify:
• Power has been removed from (or is not available to) the guarded machine, its controls, or actuators;
• The machine control circuit or the safety module is not connected to the OSSD outputs at this time (permanent
connections will be made later);
• The ethernet cable (4-pin M12/Euro-style to RJ45 cable) is connected to the SX5's 4-pin connector on the front of
the unit (if not previously accomplished) and connect the RJ45 to the PC ethernet port.
1. On the computer, launch the SX5soft software.
2. Apply power to the SX5.
3. If not previously completed, configure the scanner as described in
on page 53.
The scanner must be powered off during any connection operation. During configuration, the scanner will be
working using its previously saved configuration. Follow all the safety instructions.
4. Optional: Status information can be uploaded (Monitoring) or you can download the configuration to the scanner
(Programming).
5.2 Verify the Optical Field (Initial Verification)
The following is the typical display indication, assuming a Warning Zone is configured.
