Chapter 9 Commissioning
 Check the effectiveness of the protective device mounted to the machine, using all selectable operating modes as
specified in the checklist in the annex (see Chapter 14, “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 70).
 Ensure that the operating personnel of the machine protected by the safety laser scanner are correctly instructed by
qualified safety personnel before being allowed to operate the machine. Instructing the operating personnel is the
responsibility of the machine owner.
 Ensure that the information label Important information, which is included with the safety laser scanner on
delivery, is affixed to the machine in a place where it is clearly visible for the operators. Ensure that the operators have
the possibility to perform this daily check correctly.
 The annex to this document includes a checklist for review by the manufacturer and OEM. Use this checklist as a reference
before commissioning the system for the first time (see Chapter 14.2 “Checklist for the manufacturer” on page 70).
 Document the adjustment of the safety laser scanner and the results of the testing during initial commissioning in a
traceable manner. For this purpose also print out the complete configuration of the safety laser scanner (including
protective field shapes) and include these with the documentation.
Recommendation  Use the Create development dump... function in the SCD software (right click on the COM interface to which the
safety laser scanner is connected). You can keep these data as a backup and in this way document the state during
initial commissioning at any time.
Note Your Rockwell Automation representative will be pleased to provide you with advice on initial commissioning.
Regular inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel
 Check the system following the inspection intervals specified in the national rules and regulations. This procedure ensures
that any changes on the machine or manipulations of the protective device after the initial commissioning are detected.
 If major changes have been made to the machine or the protective device, or if the safety laser scanner has been
modified or repaired, check the system again as per the checklist in the annex (see Chapter 14, “Checklist for the
manufacturer” on page 70).
Daily testing of the protective device by a specialist or authorized
personnel
The effectiveness of the protective device must be checked daily by a specialist or by authorized personnel. The test must
also be performed if the operating mode is changed.
No further operation if errors occur during the test!
If any one of the following points is not met, it is not permitted to continue to work on the machine or operate the vehicle.
In this case the installation of the SafeZone Mini must be checked by qualified safety personnel (see Chapter 9, “Regular
inspection of the protective device by qualified safety personnel” on page 48).
 The test must be carried out for the relevant preset monitoring case.
 Check the mechanical installation to ensure that all mounting screws are secure and that the is properly aligned
SafeZone Mini.
 Check each SafeZone Mini device for visible changes such as damage, manipulation etc.
 Switch on the machine/system.
 Watch the LEDs on each SafeZone Mini.
 If not at least one LED of each SafeZone Mini is permanently lit when the machine/system is switched on, it is to be
assumed that there is a fault in the machine or system. In this case the machine must be shut down immediately and
checked by qualified safety personnel.
 Deliberately infringe the protective field while the machine is running in order to test the protective function for the
entire system. The LEDs of the SafeZone Mini must change from green to red and the dangerous movement must stop
immediately.
 Repeat this test at different points in the hazardous area and on all SafeZone Mini devices. If you discover any non-
conformance of this function, the machine/system must be shut down immediately and checked by qualified safety
personnel.
 For stationary applications, check that the hazardous areas marked out on the floor match the shapes of the protective
fields stored in the SafeZone Mini and that any gaps are protected by additional safety measures. In the case of mobile
applications, check that the moving vehicle actually stops in a timely manner at the protective field boundaries which
are set in the SafeZone Mini and listed on the information label on the vehicle or in the configuration protocol. If you
discover any non-conformance of this function, the machine/system/vehicle must be stopped immediately and
checked by qualified safety personnel.
