FUNCTIONAL CHECKOUT

Reinstate the machine electrical supply.

Check:-

1. Machine operation cannot commence until the mat control unit has been reset. Perform the walking
test described in section 8.2.

2. Check that actuation of the mat stops hazardous movement.

3. Check that stepping off the mat does not start machine operation but does enable restart.

4. Check that when approaching the machine at walking pace, hazardous movement stops before the
hazard zone can be reached. In critical applications, stop-time tests should be carried out

5. If any type of muting system is installed, check that the mat system is muted only during
non-hazardous parts of the operating cycle and that any mute indicators operate correctly.

6. Test the machine’s Emergency stop function.

Section 7 - USE

Prior to putting the machine into its normal service, ensure that operators and supervisors are aware of
the nature and purpose of the mat system and that they understand the functions of the controls and
indicators.

Ensure that the technical specifications together with inspection, test and servicing instructions are
available to the appropriate personnel and that a system for recording inspections is in place.

ENSURE THAT PERSONNEL UNDERSTAND THAT NO ADDITIONAL COVERINGS, BOARDS,
PLATES OR PLANKS ARE TO BE ON THE SENSOR MAT DURING OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
