Instruction Manual
Periodic Checkout Procedures
Study each procedure from beginning to end before you start to
make sure that you understand each step. Refer all questions to
the Banner Applications Engineering Department at the address
or numbers listed on the front cover of this manual. Checkouts
must be performed as detailed in Section 6.1 below and results
should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (e.g., near
the machine, and/or in a technical file).
6.1 Schedule of Checkouts
Initial Checkout: The procedure for initial checkout of the
Module and its interconnected components is described in
Section 3.6. This procedure is performed at installation, and
at any time the System, the guarded machine, or any part of
the application is installed or altered. The procedure must be
performed by a Qualified Person.
Commissioning Checkout: Should be performed after
installation or whenever changes are made to the system (either
a new configuration of the safety system that includes the
MMD-TA-1..B module or changes to the machine). The
procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person. See
Section 6.2.
Daily Checkout: The procedure for “daily” checkout of the
safety system that includes the MMD-TA-1..B module is to
be performed at each shift change or machine setup change,
whenever the System is powered up, at least daily. The
procedure may be performed by a Designated Person or a
Qualified Person. See Section 6.3.
Semi-Annual Checkout: The procedure for initial checkout of
the safety system that includes the MMD-TA-1..B module is to be
performed every six months, following installation of the System.
The procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person. See
Section 6.4.
6. Periodic Checkout Procedures
WARNING . . . Do Not Use Machine
Until System Is Working Properly
If all of these checks cannot be verified, do not
attempt to use the safety system that includes the
MMD-TA-1..B Module/guarded machine until the defect or
problem has been corrected (see Section 5).
Attempts to use the guarded machine under such
conditions could result in serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING . . . Before Applying Power
to the Machine
Verify that the guarded area is clear of
personnel and unwanted materials (such as tools) before
applying power to the guarded machine.
Failure to do so could result in serious bodily injury or
death.
6.2 Commissioning Checkout
Perform this checkout procedure as part of Safeguarding System
installation (after the System has been interfaced to the guarded
machine as described in Sections 3.6 and 3.7), or whenever
changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of
the Module, devices connected to it, or changes to the machine).
A Qualified Person (as defined in the Safety Glossary) must
perform the procedure; checkout results should be recorded and
kept on or near the guarded machine, per OSHA 1910.217(e)(1).
To prepare the Module for this checkout, ensure the
configuration is as it will be during machine operation.
Safeguarding Checkout
1. Examine the guarded machine to verify that it is of a type
and design compatible with the safeguarding system that
has been installed. See page 2.
2. Verify the system(s) checkout procedures for the external
safety systems connected to the MSSI and the SSI inputs
as described by the appropriate manuals. Do not proceed
until all checkout procedures are completed successfully
and all problems have been corrected.
3. Verify that:
• Access to any dangerous parts of the guarded machine
is not possible from any direction not protected by the
safeguarding system, hard guarding, or supplemental
safeguarding, and that
• Supplemental safeguarding and hard guarding, as
described by the appropriate safety standards, are in
place and functioning properly.
4. Verify that the Reset switch is mounted outside the guarded
area, out of reach of anyone inside the guarded area, and
that means of preventing inadvertent use is in place.
5. Examine the electrical wiring connections between the
Module’s OSSD outputs and the guarded machine’s control
elements to verify that the wiring meets the requirements
stated in Section 3.7.
