They replace neither testing of the complete machine or system prior to initial commissioning nor their peri- odic testing by a qualified person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). The checklists contain mini- mum testing requirements. Depending on the application, other tests may be necessary. Leuze electronic MLC 510 AS-i Host/Guest...
• The safety sensor must be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure proper integration and mounting (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). • The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of wear parts do not extend the mission time. Leuze electronic MLC 510 AS-i Host/Guest...
• In addition, a task related to the subject matter is performed in a timely manner and knowledge is kept up to date through continuous further training ‑ Competent person in terms of the German Betrieb- ssicherheitsverordnung (Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health) or other national legal regulations.
