12.5 Initial Start-Up Checklist
This checklist is intended to provide assistance during initial start-up.
NOTE!
The checklist does not eliminate the need for testing before initial start-up or periodic tests
conducted by appropriately trained personnel.
1 Standards and Directives, ESPE Selection
Are the safety precautions based on the directives/standards which are applicable for the
machine?
Yes
No
Are the utilized directives and standards listed in the declaration of conformity?
Yes
No

from the risk assessment?
Yes
No
2 Safety Clearance
Has safety clearance been calculated in accordance with the applicable standards?
Yes
No
Have the response time of the ESPE, the response time of any included safety evaluation
unit, and machine over-travel time been taken into account in the calculation?
Yes
No
Has machine over-travel time been measured, specified, documented (at the machine and/
or in the machine’s documentation) and adapted to the ESPE installation setup?
Yes

Yes
No
3 Access to the Point of Danger
Is it only possible to access the point of danger via the ESPE’s safety field?

means of mechanical protection against side-stepping), and are the implemented mea-
sures protected against manipulation?
Yes
No
Have additional mechanical protective measures been installed which prevent reaching
under, over or around the safety field, and are they protected against manipulation?

shifting and rotation after alignment?
Yes
No
Is the external condition of the ESPE and all associated system components flawless?
Yes
No
Has the acknowledgement key for resetting the ESPE been correctly installed outside of
the danger zone, and is it functional?
Yes
No
5 Incorporation into the Machine
Have both OSSDs been incorporated into the downstream machine controls?
Yes
No
Have they been connected in accordance with the wiring diagrams?
Yes
No
Are the switching elements which are controlled by the ESPE (e.g. contactors, valves)
monitored by EDM?
