PSEN op 2/4 Series
8. REGULAR CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
Qualified personnel must carry out the following checks regularly.
Ensure that:
• Therod is carried out, and remains in the BREAK condition as the
rod is passed across the whole protected field.
• The PSEN safety device switches to an OFF state when the
TEST/START button is operated (red LED BREAK is lit – signal at
the OSSD outputs switches from High to Low - monitored machine
switches to a safe condition).
• The reaction time at a machine stop, incl. ESPE reaction time and
machine overrun time, is within the limits defined through the
calculation of the safety distance (see Ch. 2 "Installation").
• The minimum safety distance between the danger zone and the
protected field is in accordance with the details stated in Ch. 2
"Installation".
• Nobody can access and remain in the danger zone between the
PSEN safety device and the hazardous machine parts.
• The danger zone cannot be accessed from any unprotected area.
• There is no visible damage to the PSEN safety device and/or the
external electrical connections.
The interval between such checks depends on the respective
application and on the conditions under which the light curtain is
operated.
