17-2 Test procedure log
The following test procedure must be performed by qualified personnel during
initial F3S-TGR-CL system installation, according to the employer's regular
inspection program and after any maintenance, adjustment or modification to
the F3S-TGR-CL system or the guarded machine. Testing ensures that the
light curtain, safety system, and machine control system work together to
properly stop the machine. Failure to test properly could result in serious
injury to personnel. To test the F3S-TGR-CL system, use the correct size test
object.
Item
Disable the guarded machine. Apply power to the
F3S-TGR-CL system.
Visually inspect the machine to ensure that access to
the danger point is only through the F3S-TGR-
CL detection zone. If not, additional guarding, includ-
ing mechanical barriers may be required. Verify that
all additional guarding devices and barriers are
installed and operating properly.
Verify that the mounting distance of the F3S-TGR-
CL system is equal to or greater than the calculated
minimum safety distance from the danger point. See
the chapter "Safe Mounting Distance" on page 17 for
further information. Ensure that the operator is not
able to stand between the F3S-TGR-CL detection
zone and the danger point.
Check for signs of external damage to the F3S-TGR-
CL system, the machine and the electrical cables
and wiring. If damage is found, lock the machine off
and report to the supervisor.
Interrupt the F3S-TGR-CL system detection zone
with the proper size test object. Move the test object
inside the perimeter (along the top, sides and bot-
tom) of the detection zone and up and down through
the centre. If in automatic start mode, verify that the
red BREAK led is lit. If in manual mode, verify that
the red break and yellow INTERLOCK lights are on.
Press and release restart button before proceeding
to next step.
Start the machine. While the machine is in motion,
interrupt the detection zone with the test object. The
machine should stop immediately. Never insert the
test object into the dangerous parts of the machine.
With the machine at rest, interrupt the detection zone
with the test object. Verify that the machine will not
start with the test object in the detection zone.
Verify that the braking system is working properly. If
the machine does not stop fast enough, adjust the
braking system or increase the distance from the
detection zone to the danger point.
If the safety devices or the machine fails any of these
tests, do not run the machine. Immediately tag or
LOCKOUT the machine to prevent its use and notify
the supervisor.
