Note: This manual refers to an emitter and its receiver, and their cabling as "a System". Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters and receivers provide a redundant, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode optoelectronic "curtain of light", or "light screen". EZ-SCREEN Type 2 typically is used for point-of-operation safeguarding, and is suited to safeguard a variety of lower-risk machinery.
Ensure that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and interfaced to the guarded machine by Qualified Persons , in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regulations.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. • Use Banner's EZ-SCREEN Type 2 only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution clutched machines.

® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 4.2 Initial Electrical Connections WARNING: Proper Electrical Hookup Electrical hookup must be made by Qualified Personnel and must comply with NEC (National Electrical Code) and local standards. Make no more connections to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System than are described in this manual.
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 4.3.2 Initial Power-Up 1. Inspect the area near the light screen for reflective surfaces, including work pieces and the guarded machine. Reflective surfaces may cause light beams to reflect around a person in the light screen, preventing the person from being detected and not stopping the machine motion (see Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on p.
Page 27
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 1. Verify the sensor mounting. 2. Verify the optimal alignment, adjusting the sensor rotation with the power on: a. Verify that the emitter and the receiver are pointed squarely at each other. Use a straight edge (for example, a level) to determine the direction the sensor is facing.
Note: A LAT-1-LS Laser Alignment Tool is very helpful by providing a visible red dot along the optical axis. Figure 14 on p. 28 and Banner Safety Applications Note SA104 (p/n 57477) for further information. Figure 14. Optical alignment using the LAT-1-LS Figure 15.
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen Figure 16. Trip Test Emitter Test Piece Receiver 4. During each pass (see Status Indicators on p. 37 for more details): • Trip Output Operation: The Status Blocked indicator must turn ON Red and remain ON for as long as the test piece remains in the defined area (and the Status Clear indicator OFF during the same time).
• To ensure proper operation, the Banner device output parameters and machine input parameters must be considered when interfacing the Banner device OSSD outputs to machine inputs. Design machine control circuitry so that all of the following are true: The maximum load resistance value is not exceeded.
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen Protective Stop (Safety Stop) Circuits A protective stop (safety stop) allows for an orderly cessation of motion for safeguarding purposes, which results in a stop of motion and removal of power from the MPCEs (assuming this does not create additional hazards). A protective stop circuit typically comprises a minimum of two normally open contacts from forced-guided, mechanically linked relays, which are monitored through External Device Monitoring to detect certain failures in order to prevent the loss of the safety function.

® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen Connect the receiver’s reset/test wire (pin 8) to the supply voltage (see Generic Wiring to FSDs (manual reset) on p. 34 Generic Wiring — Interface Module (2-Channel EDM, Manual Reset) on p. 35) via the reset switch. The switch should be a normally closed (N.C.) reset switch, or contacts of the Machine Control Test circuit (typically a normally open contact held or energized closed), or the monitoring contacts of the external device(s) being verified.
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 4.4.5 Preparing for System Operation After the initial trip test has been accomplished, and the OSSD safety outputs and EDM connections have been made to the machine to be controlled, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is ready for testing in combination with the guarded machine. The operation of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 with the guarded machine must be verified before the combined System and machine may be put into service.

® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 5 System Operation 5.1 Security Protocol Certain procedures for installing, maintaining, and operating the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 must be performed by either Designated Persons or Qualified Persons. A Designated Person is identified and designated in writing, by the employer, as being appropriately trained and qualified to perform system resets and the specified checkout procedures on the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 5.3.1 Receiver Alignment Indicators Two Yellow Alignment indicators (Top and Bottom) tell the alignment status of the top and bottom beams in the light screen. This is helpful for sensor alignment: first align the Top beam (the sync beam), then the bottom beam. The Alignment indicators also flash together to indicate a manual reset is needed (Latch output models).
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 5.4 Normal Operation 5.4.1 System Power-Up Trip Output Systems: When power is applied, each sensor will conduct self-tests to detect critical internal faults and prepare for operation. If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning ceases, the receiver outputs remain Off and diagnostic information is displayed via the LEDs;...
® EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen 6 Troubleshooting 6.1 Troubleshooting and Lockout Conditions Evaluate status indicators per Status Indicators on p. 36. A Lockout condition causes all the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 OSSD outputs to turn or remain OFF, sending a stop signal to the guarded machine.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 wires from high-voltage wires. 1. Use the Banner model BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid to detect electrical transient spikes and surges. 2. Cover the lens of the BT-1 with electrical tape to block optical light from entering the receiver lens.
6.3.2 Check for Sources of Optical Noise 1. Turn off the emitter, completely block the emitter, or open the Test input. 2. Use a Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker (see Accessories on p. 49) to check for light at the receiver.
Banner Engineering Corp. warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year following the date of shipment. Banner Engineering Corp. will repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its manufacture which, at the time it is returned to the factory, is found to have been defective during the warranty period.
Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the machine, and/or in a technical file). Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a qualified person (or team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the appropriate frequency of checkouts.
