Minimum requirements
The following thorough checks must be carried out at least once a month:
•
"Checking the field of view", page 59
•
"Checking for secure mounting", page 59
The following thorough checks must be carried out at least once a year:
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 59
•
Testing of the detection capability (resolution) in the context of the
check of the area to be protected", page 60
Recommendations for further thorough checks
In many cases, depending on the application conditions, the risk assessment of the
machine determines that further thorough checks are required or that some thorough
checks must take place more frequently.
In many cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks together
with the regular thorough check:
•
"Thorough visual check of the machine and the protective device", page 61
•
Test of the relevant points on the checklist,
see "Checklist for initial commissioning
In many cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks daily:
•
"Thorough visual check of the machine and the protective device", page 61
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 59
Complementary information
If a thorough check reveals a fault, the machine should be shut down immediately. In
this case, the mounting and electrical installation of the safety laser scanner must be
checked by appropriately qualified safety personnel.
