11 Checkout Procedures
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.
11.1 Periodic Checkout Requirements
To ensure continued reliable operation, the System must be checked out periodically. Banner Engineering highly
recommends performing the System checkouts as described below. However, a Qualified Person should evaluate these
recommendations, based on the specific application and the results of a machine risk assessment, to determine the
appropriate content and frequency of checkouts.
At every shift change, power-up, and machine setup change, the Daily Checkout should be performed; this checkout may
be performed by a Designated or Qualified Person.
Semi-annually, the System and its interface to the guarded machine should be thoroughly checked out; this checkout must
be performed by a Qualified Person (see
(p. 74)). A copy of these test results should be posted on
or near the machine.
Whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN LPM System or changes to the
machine), perform the Commissioning Checkout (see
(p. 50)).
Note: Verify Proper Operation
The EZ-SCREEN LPM can operate as it is designed only if it and the guarded machine are operating
properly, both separately and together. It is the user’s responsibility to verify this, on a regular basis, as
instructed in
(p. 74). Failure to correct such problems can result in an increased
risk of harm.
Before the System is put back into service, verify that the EZ-SCREEN LPM System and the guarded
machine perform exactly as outlined in the checkout procedures and any problem(s) are found and
corrected.
