1. Inspect nearby areas for lights and retro-reflective surfaces.
• If found, attempt to remove, cover, or otherwise prevent the item from being located in the scanner's detection

2. Inspect the installation for unmonitored areas and adjacent scanners.
3. In Run mode, observe the scanner's status display to determine status. If any other indication is shown on the
Diagnostic Notes, Warnings, and Errors
on page 83.
4. Ensure that the scanner is in the Run mode, the Safety and Warning Zones are clear of intrusions, and the scanner's
display shows the Zones are clear (or clear and waiting for a reset).
5. Perform a Trip Test to verify the Safety and Warning Zones.
5.3 Perform a Trip Test
Performing a trip test verifies the Safety and Warning Zone fields.
CAUTION: Ensure that no individuals are exposed to any hazard while verifying the Safety and Warning
Zones.
Note: Although the GUI can assist in monitoring the position of objects and the status of the Safety and
Warning Zones, use the display, when possible, to determine whether or not a zone has been interrupted.
1. Ensure that the SX5 is in Run mode, the Safety and Warning Zones are clear of intrusions, and the display shows
one of the following:
Zones are clear; OSSDs are on
Zones are clear; waiting for a reset input
2. If a Warning Zone is used and with the guarded machine at rest:
a) Use a 70 or 40 mm (based on resolution selected in configuration) test piece to interrupt the Warning Zone
perimeter.
b) Verify the display shows the yellow warning indication.
c) Remove the test piece and verify the warning indicator returns to the status shown in step 1.
d) Repeat this test along the entire Warning Zone perimeter, paying special attention to needle- and cone-shaped
areas.
