Testing before initial operation

Testing by an experienced technician before startup must ensure that the optical protective
device and any other safety components that might be present have been selected in
accordance with the required specifications, especially the European Machine and Machine
Utilization Directives, and that they provide the necessary protection when properly
operated.
 Use the applicable local regulations, with the help of the checklists provided in the
Appendix where required, to check that the protective devices are properly installed, that
they are properly wired into the control unit and that they work in all machine operating
modes.
 The same testing requirements apply if the machine in question has not been operated
for some time and after major modifications or repairs if this could affect the safety of the
machine.
 Observe the specifications regarding the instructing of operating personnel by
experienced technicians before work is started. The machine owner is responsible for
instructing personnel.
Leuze electronic offers a specialist service which performs the required testing and
instruction tasks (www.leuze.de). This service must be ordered separately. The results of
these tests are documented for the machine owner in accordance with ISO 9000 ff.

Regular tests

Regular tests must also be carried out in accordance with local regulations. These are
designed to discover changes (e.g. in machine stopping times) or manipulations to the
machine controls or protective device.
 You must have the effectiveness of the protective device checked by an experienced
technician at suitable intervals, but at least once a year.
 The applicable checklist in the Appendix may also be used during regular testing.
