EZ-SCREEN

Instruction Manual

System Operation

During RUN Mode

Trip Output Configuration: If any beams become blocked

while the EZ-SCREEN is running with Trip Output selected,

the receiver outputs turn OFF within the stated EZ-SCREEN

response time (see Specifications). If all the beams then become

clear, the receiver outputs come back ON. No resets of any kind

are needed. All required machine control resets are provided by

the machine control circuit.
Latch Output Configuration: If any beams become blocked

while the EZ-SCREEN is running with Latch Output selected,

the receiver outputs turn OFF within the stated EZ-SCREEN

response time (see Specifications). If all the beams then become

clear, the receiver Zone indicators will all be Green and the

Reset indicator will single-flash, indicating the EZ-SCREEN is

waiting for a manual latch reset. In Latch Output operation, the

outputs come back ON only when all beams are clear and after

a manual reset. The EZ-SCREEN will wait for a manual reset;

when a valid reset signal is received and all beams remain clear,

the receiver outputs turn ON.
Internal Faults (Lockouts): If either sensor detects a critical

fault, scanning ceases, the receiver outputs turn OFF and

diagnostic information is displayed through the sensor’s front

window. See Section 5 for resolution of error/fault conditions.

4.6 Periodic Checkout Requirements

To ensure continued reliable operation, the System must be

checked out periodically.
At every shift change, power-up and machine setup change,

the Daily checkout should be performed; this checkout may be

performed by a Designated or Qualified Person (see Section 6.3

and the Daily Checkout Card for the procedure).
Semi-annually, the EZ-SCREEN and its interface to the guarded

machine should be thoroughly checked out; this checkout must

be performed by a Qualified Person (see Section 6.4). A copy of

these test results should be posted on or near the machine.
Whenever changes are made to the System (either a new

configuration of the EZ-SCREEN or changes to the machine),

the Commissioning Checkout should be performed (see Section

6.2).

4.5 Normal Operation

System Power-Up

The EZ-SCREEN will power up in one of two ways, depending

on the Trip/Latch Output configuration. If it is set for Trip Output,

it will power up and reset automatically; if it is set for Latch

Output, it will require a manual reset procedure after power-up

and sensor alignment.
Trip Output Power-Up: When power is applied, each sensor

will conduct self-tests to detect critical internal faults, determine

configuration settings, and prepare the EZ-SCREEN for

operation. (If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning

ceases, the receiver outputs remain OFF and diagnostic

information is displayed through the sensor’s front window.) If

no faults are detected, the EZ-SCREEN will automatically enter

ALIGNMENT mode, with the receiver looking for an optical sync

pattern from the emitter. If the receiver is aligned and receiving

the proper sync pattern, it enters RUN mode and begins

scanning to determine the blocked or clear status of each beam.

No manual reset operation is required.
Latch Output Power-Up: When power is applied, each sensor

will conduct self-tests to detect critical internal faults, determine

configuration settings, and prepare the System for operation.

(If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning ceases, the

receiver outputs remain OFF and diagnostic information is

displayed through the sensor’s front window.) If no faults are

detected, the EZ-SCREEN will automatically enter ALIGNMENT

mode, with the receiver looking for an optical sync pattern from

the emitter. If the receiver is aligned and receiving the proper

sync pattern, it begins scanning to determine the blocked

or clear status of each beam. When all beams are aligned,

the Yellow Reset indicator will double-flash to indicate the

EZ-SCREEN is waiting for a manual reset. After a valid manual

reset, the EZ-SCREEN enters RUN mode and continues

scanning.

WARNING . . .

Verify Proper Operation

It is the user’s responsibility to verify proper operation, on a regular

basis, as instructed in Section 6. Failure to correct such problems

can result in serious bodily injury or death.
