3.3 Checks after first installation
The control operations to carry-out after the first installation and before machine start-up are listed hereinafter. The
controls must be carried-out by qualified personnel, either directly or under the strict supervision of the person in
charge of machinery safety.
Check that:
The AOPD remains in OSSD OFF state (
using the suitable "Test Piece" and following the Figure 16 scheme. The suitable "Test Piece" has one
dimension identical with the resolution of the AOPD, a cylinder with a 14 mm diameter for a light curtain with a
14 mm resolution for example.
The AOPD is correctly aligned: press slightly the product side in both directions and check that the red LED
does not turn on.
The OSSD outputs switch off (the red LED
function is activated.
The stopping time of the machine, including the response times of the AOPD and of the machine, is within the
limits defined when calculating the minimum installation distance (refer to paragraph 2.4 – "Minimum
installation distance").
The minimum installation distance between the hazard zone and the AOPD is in accordance with the
instructions included in paragraph 2.4 – "Minimum installation distance".
Access of a person between the AOPD and the hazard zone of the machine is not possible, nor is it possible
for him/her to stay there without being detected.
Access to the hazard zone of the machine from any unprotected area is not possible.
The AOPD is not disturbed by external light sources: it should remain in OSSD ON state for at least 10-15
minutes and, after placing the specific test piece in the detection zone, remain in the OSSD OFF state for the
same period of time.
All additional functions behave as expected by activating them in different operating conditions.
