Performing Checkout and Test Procedures
You must perform checkout and test procedures to make sure Shadow 8 is working properly
before using the light curtains with your machinery.
Checkout Procedure
The following checkout procedure must be performed by qualified personnel during initial
Shadow 8 installation and, after installation, at least once every three months. The procedure
should be performed more frequently if machine usage and company guidelines require. (See
Appendix B for a form you can use to document the results of the checkout procedure.)
1.
Verify that the guarded machine is a type that may be used with the Shadow 8 system (see
the Requirements page at the beginning of the manual).
2.
Verify that the mounting distance of the Shadow 8 heads is equal to or greater than the
minimum safe distance from the danger point (see Calculating the Safety Distance,
page 2-2).
3.
Determine that all access to the danger point not protected by the Shadow 8 system is
guarded by other means, such as gates, fencing or other approved methods. Verify that all
additional guarding devices are installed and operating properly.
MAKE SURE TO PERFORM SAFETY SYSTEM TESTS
• Perform the checkout and test procedures when you have completed installation of your light
curtain and before operating the equipment it is connected to.
• Operate your machinery only after your safety system meets all the requirements of the
checkout and test procedures.
• Perform the checkout procedure at least once every three months. Perform the procedure more
frequently if machine usage and company guidelines require.
• Perform the test procedure whenever repair, maintenance or modification is performed on your
light curtain or the machinery it is connected to.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
CHANGE IN STOPPING TIME REQUIRES SAFETY DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT
• Repair your machinery stopping mechanism if its stopping time increases beyond the
acceptable limit.
• Re-calculate the light curtain safety distance, using the new stopping time.
• Adjust the location of the light curtain(s) accordingly.
• Perform the test procedure before operating the equipment.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
