PLS
3. Daily inspection of the safety device by authorized and
designated personnel:
How to test your PLS system properly:
1. The test must be performed every time the operating mode is
changed.
2. Check the mechanical installation to ensure that all mounting
screws are secure and that the PLS is properly aligned.
3. Check the PLS for visible changes, such as damage, mani-
pulation etc.
4. Switch on the machine/system.
5. Watch the LEDs on the PLS (red, green, yellow).
6. If at least one LED does not shine constantly when the ma-
chine/system is switched on, it can be assumed that there is a
fault in the machine/system. In this case the machine must be
shut down immediately and checked by a specialist.
7. Deliberately obstruct the protective field while the machine is run-
ning in order to test the effectiveness of the entire system. The
LEDs must change from green to red and the hazardous move-
ment must come to an immediate standstill. Repeat this test at
different points in the danger area. If you discover any deviation
from the proper function, the machine/system must be shut down
immediately and checked by a specialist.
8. For stationary applications, check that the danger area marked
out on the floor matches the shape of the protective field stored in
the PLS and that any gaps are protected by additional safety
measures. In the case of mobile applications, check that the mov-
ing vehicle actually stops at the field limits which are set in the
PLS and listed on the data plate in the vehicle or in the configura-
tion protocol. If you discover any deviation from the proper func-
tion, the machine/system/vehicle must be stopped immediately
and checked by a specialist.
