Testing the mute accessories with a test piece
The test procedure should be carried
out frequently as indicated by the
risk assessment for the particular
installation.
A test must be carried out at the
initial installation and prior to the
machine start-up.
Smartscan Ltd recommends the test
should be carried out daily prior to
normal operation of the machine.
Any changes to the configuration of
the safety light curtain must be
followed by testing to check the
system is still working correctly.
Regular function checking of the
safety light curtain as well as at initial
installation is required as part of the
test and maintenance process.
The operating instructions for the
safety light curtain and machine
must be made available for the
operator and those responsible for installation, maintenance and safety control at
all times.
Power-up the 8K3 series safety light curtain and activate the output switching
circuits to an ON condition.

Insert a test piece of appropriate size into the detection zone of one of the mute
