2.3 Appropriate Applications and Limitations
Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
— If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout
procedures are not followed properly, the Banner device cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user is
responsible for ensuring 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. 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.
The Banner SX is intended for safeguarding applications as determined by a risk assessment. It is the user’s responsibility to
verify whether the safeguarding is appropriate for the application and is installed, as instructed by this manual, by a Qualified
Person.
The SX's ability to perform its safeguarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the application and upon its proper
mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine.
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and
checkout procedures are not followed properly, the SX cannot provide the protection for which it was designed
.
WARNING:
•
Access and Perimeter Safeguard Installation
•
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
•
If an SX Series Safety Laser Scanner is installed for use as an access or perimeter guard (where
a pass-through hazard may exist, see
Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards
on p. 37),
configure the SX for Manual Start/Restart (Latch Output). The dangerous machine motion can be
initiated by normal means only after the safeguarded area is clear of individuals and the SX Series
Safety Laser Scanner has been manually reset.
2.3.1 Appropriate Applications
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that the SX Series Safety Laser Scanner is appropriate for the application and
is installed and interfaced by Qualified Persons in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regulations.
The SX Series Safety Laser Scanner must be integrated into the machine's control system in such a way that an activation of
the safety function safely stops or interrupts the dangerous process before a person can be endangered.
This SX Series Safety Laser Scanner is typically used in access guarding and perimeter guarding applications. Some
potential applications are:
•
Automated production equipment
•
Robotic work cells
•
Assembly and packaging machines
•
Automated guided vehicles
•
Lean manufacturing systems
•
Safety mat replacements
Do not use the SX Series Safety Laser Scanner:
•
With any machine that can not be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (full
revolution) clutched machinery
•
With any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response time and stopping performance
•
With any machine that ejects materials or component parts through the safety zone
•
In any environment that is likely to adversely affect photoelectric sensing efficiency. For example, corrosive chemicals
or fluids or severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade sensing efficiency
