Banner EZ-SCREEN­ Safety Light Curtain Systems - Manual (Page 7)

Appropriate Applications and Limitations
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the EZ-
SCREEN Type 2 cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user has the responsibility
to ensure that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and
use of this control system in any particular application are satisfied. Extreme care should be taken to en-
sure that all legal requirements have been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instruc-
tions contained in this manual are followed.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is installed and interfaced to
the guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety regula-
tions.
The Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is intended for lower-risk machine guarding applications and other safeguarding applications, as deter-
mined by a risk assessment. It is the user’s responsibility to verify whether the safeguarding is appropriate for the application and is
installed, as instructed by this manual, by a Qualified Person (as defined in the Glossary).
CAUTION: Install System Only on Appropriate Applications
Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 are for use only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop
signal is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution clutched machines.
Under no circumstances may the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 be used on full-revolution clutched machinery or in
unsuitable applications as those listed. If there is any doubt about whether or not your machinery is
compatible with the EZ-SCREEN Type 2, contact Banner's Application Engineers at the factory.
CAUTION: Use of EZ-SCREEN Type 2
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 meets the Type 2 requirements of IEC 61496 and Category 2 PLd requirements of
EN ISO 13849-1. DO NOT use EZ-SCREEN Type 2 unless it is installed, tested, and inspected in accord-
ance with this manual. DO NOT use EZ-SCREEN Type 2 where Control Reliability is required, or where
Category 3, Category 4, or Type 4 AOPD (active opto-electronic protective device) have been mandated,
or where a risk assessment has determined that frequent access by personnel to the hazard could result
in an irreversible or serious injury (for example, OSHA reportable injury).
Typical use is for safeguarding in situations where the consequence of an accident will result in only slight
(normally reversible) injuries that are typically treated by the normal healing processes and minor medical
treatment (that is, first aid, as defined by OSHA 29CFR1904.7).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious bodily injury or death.
