7 Checkout Procedures
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkouts
must be performed as described. 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. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in ANSI B11.0.
The result of the risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and must be
followed.

7.2 Commissioning Checkout
WARNING:
• Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified
• Attempts to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could result in
serious injury or death.
• If all these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the
Banner device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been
corrected.
Perform this checkout procedure as part of the System installation after the System has been interfaced to the guarded
machine, or whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN or changes to the
machine). A Qualified Person must perform the procedure. Checkout results should be recorded and kept on or near the
guarded machine as required by applicable standards.
To prepare the System for this checkout:
1. Examine the guarded machine to verify that it is of a type and design compatible with the EZ-SCREEN System. See
Examples: Inappropriate Applications
on page 10 for a list of misapplications.
2. Verify that the EZ-SCREEN is configured for the intended application.
3. Verify that the safety distance (minimum distance) from the closest danger point of the guarded machine to the
defined area is not less than the calculated distance, per
Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
page 19.
