Application Checklist
A list of important points should help you avoid errors when planning, setting up,
and using the protective equipment. This application checklist is not complete and
must be modified to suit each specific application.
Before installation
■
Have all the applicable standards and regulations been observed?
■
Does the technical data of the SLCT meet the requirements of the
application? This especially applies to detection capability, the protection
field height, and the operating voltage.
■
Is the overvoltage category required by EN 50178 or EN 60947-1 met at the
connections?
■
Is the electrical equipment, the wiring, and the overcurrent protection
designed in accordance with IEC 60204-1:2009?
■
Is there enough space for mounting and dismounting components?
■
Are the distances between the protection field and the hazardous area and
the surfaces to be reflected maintained as required?
■
Is the SLCT used indoors?
After installation
■
Is the startup enable input connected when the startup/restart interlock is
activated?
■
Is the ready-to-start signal lamp connected?
■
Is the test input connected?
■
Is the red/green indicator for signaling the status of the OSSD outputs in a
visible location?
■
Are all components correctly connected?
■
Has the SLCT been positioned so that the protection field cannot be
bypassed and people cannot enter the hazardous area undetected?
■
Is the SLCT aligned?
■
Have the necessary safety distances been maintained?
Commissioning
■
Has the detection capability of the SLCT been tested over the entire
protection field height using the test rod? This test should take place at
multiple locations and at least once in front of the transmitter and receiver
unit as well as at the central point between the transmitter and receiver.
■
Do the OSSD switching outputs trigger the requisite stop?
■
Has the reaction time of the protective equipment as a whole been
checked?
Note!
Observing Applicable Standards and Laws
The relevant laws and standards that apply to the use of opto-electronic safety
devices must be followed. There are differences depending on the area of use.
