9.2
To be performed periodically by a competent person
The reliable interaction of safety sensor, safety relay and machine must be periodically tested in order to
detect changes to the machine or impermissible tampering with the safety sensor. Testing intervals are
determined by nationally applicable regulations (recommendation acc. to IEC 62046: 12 months).
ª
Have all tests performed by competent persons.
ª
Observe the nationally applicable regulations and the time periods specified therein.
9.3
To be performed daily by the operating personnel
The function of the safety relay must be checked daily or at change of shifts, and at each change of
machine operating mode as specified in the corresponding checklist (see chapter 9.3.1 "Check list – daily
or at change of shift") so that damages or unauthorized manipulations can be detected.
ª
For configurations without automatic start:
Stop the dangerous state.
ª
Check the safety relay, E-Stop or safety door switch, transmitter, receiver of the AOPDs and, if applica
-
ble, deflecting mirrors for damage or tampering.
ª
Operation as downstream device for ESPE: Interrupt the light beam of the protective sensor using a test
rod from a position outside the danger zone and ensure that the machine cannot be started when the
light beam is interrupted. Operation as downstream device for E-Stop / safety door: Press the E-Stop
switch or open the safety door and make sure that the machine cannot be started with the E-Stop switch
pressed or the safety door open.
ª
Start the machine.
For all configurations:
ª
Make sure that the dangerous state is stopped as soon as a light beam is interrupted with a test rod, the
E-Stop switch is pressed or the safety door is opened.
9.3.1 Check list – daily or at change of shift
Interval: daily or at shift change
Tester: authorized operating personnel or instructed person
As a safety inspection, Leuze electronic offers periodic testing by a competent person (see
chapter 13 "Service and support").
WARNING
Unpredictable machine behavior during the test may result in serious injury!
ª
Make certain that there are no people in the danger zone.
WARNING
Faults during the daily inspection may result in serious injury!
If you answer one of the items on the check list with “no”, the machine must no longer be operated (see
ª
Have the entire machine inspected by a competent person see chapter 9.1 "Before the initial start-up
