Testing

A running machine may result in serious injury!
Ä Make certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is
securely shut down and protected against being restarted.
NOTICE
Ä The safety relays must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years.
Ä Always exchange the entire safety relay.
Ä Observe any nationally applicable regulations regarding the tests.
Ä Document all tests in a comprehensible manner.
9.1

Before the initial start-up and following modifications

Unpredictable machine behavior during initial start-up may result in serious injury!
Ä Make certain that there are no people in the danger zone.
Ä Before they begin work, train the operators on their respective tasks. The training is the responsibility of
the operating company.
Ä Attach notes regarding daily testing in the respective national language of the operator on the machine
in a highly visible location, e.g. by printing out the corresponding chapter (see chapter 9.3 "Periodically
by the operator").
Ä Test the electrical function and installation according to this document.
Acc. to IEC/TS 62046 and national regulations (e.g. EU directive 2009/104/EC), tests are to be performed
by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies") in the following situations:
• Prior to initial commissioning
• Following modifications to the machine
• After longer machine downtime
• Following retrofitting or new configuration of the machine
Ä Before preparing, check the most important criteria for the optoelectronic safety device and the safety
relay. This check does not replace testing by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competen-
cies").
ð Not until proper function of the optoelectronic safety device and the safety relay is ascertained may
they be integrated in the control circuit of the system.
9.2

Regularly by qualified persons

The reliable interaction of safety sensor, safety relay and machine must be regularly tested by qualified per-
sons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies") in order to detect changes to the machine or impermissi-
ble tampering.
Acc. to IEC/TS 62046 and national regulations (e.g., EU directive 2009/104/EC), tests of elements which
are subject to wear must be performed by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies") at
regular intervals. Testing intervals may be regulated by nationally applicable regulations (recommendation
acc. to IEC/TS 62046: 6 months).
Ä Only allow testing to be performed by qualified persons (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies").
Ä Observe the nationally applicable regulations and the time periods specified therein.
