System Installation
3. System Installation
3.1 Appropriate Application
The application of the MM-TA-12B Muting Module is dependent on the type of
machine and the safeguards that are to be interfaced with the Module. The
Module is generally interfaced with safeguards that may only be used on machin-
ery that is capable of stopping motion immediately upon receiving a stop signal
and at any point in its machine cycle. It is the user's responsibility to verify
whether the safeguarding is appropriate for the application and is installed as
instructed by the appropriate installation manuals.
Safety Light Screens, Single/Multiple Beam Safety Systems, or other
Presence-Sensing Safeguarding Devices (PSSDs) generally may not be used
for the following:
• With single stroke (also called "full revolution") clutched machinery, as this type
of machinery is incapable of stopping immediately.
• On certain other types of machinery, including any machine with inadequate or
inconsistent stopping response time, or any machine that ejects materials or
component parts through the defined area.
• In any environment likely to adversely affect the efficiency of the safeguard(s)
or the MM-TA-12B Muting Module. For example, corrosive chemicals or fluids
or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade the
efficiency of a Safety Light Screen.
If there is any doubt about whether or not your machinery is compatible with the
MM-TA-12B Muting Module, contact Banner's Application Engineers at the facto-
ry.
WARNING . . .
Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
The Banner MM-TA-12B Muting Module is an accessory device that is typically used in conjunction with point-of-
operation machine guarding device. Its ability to perform this function depends upon the appropriateness of the application
and upon the MM-TA-12B Muting Module's proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the machine
to be guarded.
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the MM-TA-12B Muting
Module cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user has the responsibility to ensure that all local,
state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and use of this control system in any particular
application are satisfied. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that all legal requirements have been met and that all techni-
cal installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed. Read Section 3 (and its subsections) of
this manual carefully before installing the system. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily
injury or death.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that the Banner MM-TA-12B Muting Module is installed and interfaced to the
guarded machine by Qualified Persons in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regulations. A "Qualified Person"
is defined as "a person or persons who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional training, or who,
by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the
subject matter and work."

WARNING . . .
Stand-Alone Point-of-
Operation Guarding
The Muting Module is not a stand-
alone point-of-operation guarding
device, as defined by OSHA regu-
lations. It is necessary to install
point-of-operation guarding devices,
such as safety light screens and/or
hard guards, to protect personnel
from hazardous machinery.
Failure to properly install point-of-
operation safeguarding on haz-
ardous machinery, as instructed by
the appropriate installation manu-
als, can result in a dangerous con-
dition which could lead to serious
injury or death.
