8 Checkout Procedures
8.1 Periodic Checkout Requirements
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkouts
must be performed as described. Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the
machine, and/or in a technical file).
Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a qualified person (or
team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate
frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0.
The result of the risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and must be
followed.
At every shift change, power-up, and machine setup change, perform the Daily checkout. This checkout may be performed
by a Designated or Qualified Person (see the Daily Checkout Card for the procedure).
Semi-annually, the Scanner and its interface to the guarded machine should be thoroughly checked out. This checkout
must be performed by a Qualified Person (see the Semi-Annual Checkout Card for the procedure). A copy of these test
results should be posted on or near the machine.
When changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the Scanner or changes to the machine), perform the
Commissioning Checkout.
WARNING:
• Verify the proper operation of this SX5 Safety Laser Scanner
• Failure to verify the proper operation, on a regular basis, can result in undetected problems,
which if not corrected, can result in serious injury or death.
• It is the user’s responsibility to verify proper operation on a regular basis.
Study each procedure in its entirety, to understand each step thoroughly before beginning. Refer all questions to a Banner
on page 91). Checkouts must be performed as detailed and results must be
recorded and kept in the appropriate place (e.g., near the machine, and/or in a technical file). This must include a printout of
the SX5’s configuration and the shape of all Safety Zones.
Additional factors and checks may be required that are dependent on the application, machine, or local regulations and
laws. A user risk assessment will determine what these additional factors and checks will be and should be incorporated
with the checkouts below. For easy reference, print out the procedures and post them near the machine/application.
