2.2 System Description
NOTE: This manual refers to an emitter and its receiver, and their cabling
Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters and receivers provide a redundant, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode
optoelectronic "curtain of light", or "light screen". EZ-SCREEN Type 2 typically is used for point-of-operation safeguarding,
and is suited to safeguard a variety of lower-risk machinery.
The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is a two-piece (two-box) system comprising an emitter and a receiver, but no external controller.
The external device monitoring (EDM) function ensures the fault detection capability required by EN ISO 13849-1 Category
2.
The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters have a row of synchronized modulated infrared (invisible) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in
a compact metal housing. Receivers have a corresponding row of synchronized photodetectors. The light screen created by
the emitter and receiver is called the defined area; its width and height are determined by the length of the sensor pair
and the distance between them. The maximum range is 15 m (50 ft), which decreases if corner mirrors are used.
Resolution is 30 mm (1.18 in).
Both emitter and receiver feature LEDs to provide continuous indication of the System’s operating status, alignment and
error conditions.
In typical operation, if any part of an operator’s body (or any opaque object) of more than a pre-determined cross section
is detected, the solid-state Output Signal Switching Device (OSSD) safety outputs turn OFF. These safety outputs are
connected to the guarded machine’s Final Switching Devices (FSDs) that control the machine primary control elements
(MPCEs), which immediately stop the motion of the guarded machine.
Both OSSD outputs must be connected to the machine control so that the machine’s safety-related control system
interrupts the circuit or power to the MPCEs (Machine Primary Control Elements), resulting in a non-hazardous condition.
Each OSSD is capable of sourcing 0.5A at +24V dc.
The OSSD safety outputs are not capable of performing a “handshake” communication with the Muteable Safety Stop
Interface (MSSI)
or Universal Safety Stop Interface (USSI) found on other Banner Engineering safety products.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is extensively FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) tested to IEC 61496-1/-2 requirements. The
design of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 has considered all single faults such that a loss of a critical safety function will result in a
stop command and a lockout condition. In the event of an accumulation of undetected faults, a remote external test (or
check) is required to maintain the safety function.
Electrical connections are made through M12 (or Eurostyle) quick-disconnects. An optional hookup that provides
sensor interchangeability (or “swapability”) – the ability to
install either sensor at either QD connection – is possible.
Using a parallel connection (color-for-color), the emitter
cable can be connected to the receiver cable, providing the
ability to swap the emitter and receiver position, similar to
a popular feature of Banner MINI-SCREEN® safety light
screens. This hookup option provides advantages during
installation, wiring, and troubleshooting.
All models require a supply voltage of +24V dc ±20%.

interconnecting cables
2.3 Appropriate Applications and Limitations
The Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen is intended for lower-risk machine guarding and other safeguarding
applications, as determined by a risk assessment
appropriate for the application and is installed, as instructed by this manual, by a Qualified Person (as defined in the
Glossary on page 58 ).
The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 ability to perform its safeguarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the application
and upon its proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine. 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.
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
device 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. Ensure that all legal requirements
have been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual
are followed.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and interfaced to the
guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety
regulations.
. It is the user’s responsibility to verify whether the safeguarding is

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 Engineering.
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
accordance 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.
is for use only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop
2.3.1 Examples: Appropriate Applications
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 are typically used for, but is not limited to, the following applications (dependent on machine risk
assessment):
• Small assembly equipment
•
Automated production equipment
• "Table-top" robotic work cells
• Component insertion/"pick-and-place" machines
• Small packaging machines
• Equipment and process protection (non-personnel safety)
• Applications that could result in only slight (normally reversible) injuries (such as bump, bruise, knock-down,
trapping but not crushing, minor cuts and abrasions, etc.)
2.3.2 Examples: Inappropriate Applications
Do not use EZ-SCREEN Type 2 in the following applications:
• As a primary safeguard in frequently accessed hazardous situations that could result in serious injuries (normally
irreversible, including death)
• In any case where Control Reliability, Category 3, Category 4, or Type 4 AOPD (active opto-electronic protective
device) have been mandated. See EN ISO 13849-1, IEC 61496-1, or other appropriate standard
• With any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (or fullrevolution) clutched machinery
• With any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response time and stopping performance
• With any machine that ejects materials or component parts through the defined area
• In any environment that is likely to adversely affect photoelectric sensing efficiency. For example, corrosive
chemicals or fluids or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade sensing efficiency
• As a tripping device to initiate or reinitiate machine motion (PSDI applications), unless the machine and its control
system fully comply with the relevant standard or regulation (see ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, IEC 61496-1, or other
appropriate standard)
If an EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is installed for use as a perimeter guard (where a pass-through hazard may exist), the dangerous
machine motion can be initiated by normal means only after the safeguarded area is clear of individuals and the EZSCREEN Type 2 has been manually reset.
2.4 Control Reliability and Safety Categories
To summarize the expected safety circuit performance in high-risk situations, requirements of Control Reliability (OSHA
29CFR1910.217, ANSI B11.19, and ANSI/RIA R15.06) and Category 3 and Category 4 (EN ISO 13849-1) demand that a
reasonably foreseeable, single failure does not lead to the loss of the safety function, and does not prevent a normal or
immediate stop from occurring. The failure or the fault must be detected at or before the next demand of safety (e.g., at
the beginning or end of a cycle, or when a safeguard is actuated). The safety-related part of the control system then must
issue an immediate stop command, or prevent the next machine cycle or hazardous situation until the failure or fault is
corrected.
The effect of ANSI/RIA R15.06, ANSI B11.19, and EN ISO 13849-1 is to set a baseline for situations in which a minimum
level of performance has been mandated or in cases where a risk assessment has determined a need for Control
Reliability, Category 3 or Category 4 level of performance.
In lower-risk safety applications, safeguards and safety circuits do not require the level of performance and fault tolerance
described by Control Reliability, Category 3 or Category 4. Applications involving situations that could result in a slight or
normally reversible injury (e.g., only requiring first aid, as defined by OSHA 29CFR1904) can be solved by EN ISO 13849-1
Category 2.
EN ISO 13849-1 Category 2 does not require the same level of performance and fault tolerance as required by Control
Reliability, Category 3 or Category 4. Safety-related parts of control systems designed to Category 2 “shall be designed so
that their function(s) are checked at suitable intervals by the machine control system.” This allows a single fault to lead to
the loss of the safety function between the check [test] of the system, but the loss of safety function is detected by the
check. By comparison, in a system designed to EN ISO 13849-1 Category 4, a single fault or an accumulation of faults will
not lead to a loss of the safety function.
While EN ISO 13849-1 generally applies to the machine level, IEC61496-1/-2 specifies requirements for the design,
construction and testing for two levels or “types” of active opto-electronic protective devices (AOPDs) or light curtains
(light screens). “Type 2” and “Type 4” describe differing requirements to ensure that appropriate safety-related
performance is achieved. The appropriate type is dependent on the overall degree of risk reduction, as determined by the
machine’s Risk Assessment (see ISO 14121, ANSI B11.19, ANSI/RIA R15.06).
A Type 2 AOPD relies on periodic testing to detect a failure to danger. Between tests, a single fault can result in the loss of
the safety function. While this level of performance and fault tolerance is generally not allowed in Category 4 situations, it
is acceptable in the lower-risk situations described by Category 2.
While the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 conducts continual internal self-tests and all single faults have been considered, the
installation should provide an additional periodic test/check of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 and its interface to ensure the
integrity of the safety function (see Manual Reset/Remote Test Input and EDM on page 31). A component failure
detected by periodic test/check must cause a “stop” signal to be sent to the guarded machine and put the System into a
Lockout condition.
Recovery from this type of Lockout condition requires:
•
Replacement of the failed component (to restore the safety function)
• The appropriate reset procedure.
2.5 Operating Features
The Banner EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Light Screen models described by this manual feature standard functions:
• Trip or Latch Output (depending on model)
• External Device Monitoring (EDM) via the Test/Retest input
The System Response Time (Tr) can be determined by the model number on the emitter and receiver.
2.5.1 Trip/Latch Output
Whether a receiver features Trip or Latch Output determines whether the System will enter RUN mode automatically after
power-up, or if it will require a manual reset first. If the System has Trip Output, other measures must be taken to prevent
a pass-through hazard.
For Latch Output models, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 requires a manual reset for the OSSD outputs to turn ON, after power is
applied and all beams are clear.
• For Trip Output models, the OSSD outputs will turn ON after power is applied and the receiver passes its internal
self-test/synchronization and recognizes that all beams are clear. Trip Output models will also turn on after all
beams are cleared following a blocked beam.
• For Latch Output models, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 requires a manual reset for the OSSD outputs to turn ON,
whenever power is applied and all beams are clear.
WARNING: Use of Trip/Latch Output
Application of power to the Banner device, the clearing of the defined area, or the reset of a Latch
condition MUST NOT initiate dangerous machine motion. Machine control circuitry must be designed so
that one or more initiation devices must be engaged (in a conscious act) to start the machine – in
addition to the Banner device going into Run mode. Failure to follow these instructions may resultin serious bodily injury or death.
2.5.2 Wiring Options for Emitter/Receiver Swapability
Each EZ-SCREEN Type 2 sensor can be connected to its own power supply or, color-for-color to the other sensor’s cable.
The color-for-color hookup allows the emitter and receiver positions to be interchanged without rewiring (functionality
known as sensor " swapability"). Model CSB.. splitter cordsets and DEE2R.. double-ended cables facilitate interconnection
between an
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 receiver and emitter, providing a single "homerun" cable for optional swapable hookup.
A single input provides the means to reset the system from a latch or lockout condition, to externally test the light screen
and its interface, and to monitor external devices (EDM) for proper operation. If the System is in Run condition with
outputs ON, operating the switch results in a test. If the System is Latched or Locked Out, operating the switch results in a
reset.
External Device Monitoring (EDM)
This feature allows the
closed and a normally open contact from each monitored device are wired in series-parallel to detect if one of the devices
fails.

3.1 Mechanical Installation Considerations
The two primary factors that influence the layout of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 system mechanical installation are the Safety
Distance (Minimum Distance) (see Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on page 11) and the
supplemental safeguarding/eliminating pass-through hazards (see Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page
14). Other considerations include:
• Emitter and Receiver Orientation on page 17
• Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on page 16
• Use of Corner Mirrors on page 16
• Installation of Multiple Systems on page 18
WARNING: Position Components Carefully
The emitter and receiver must be positioned such that the hazard cannot be accessed by
reaching over, under, around, or through the sensing field. Additional and supplemental guarding
may be required.
3.1.1 Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
Safety Distance (Ds), also called Minimum Distance (S), is the minimum distance required between the defined area and
the closest reachable hazard point. The distance is calculated so that when an object or a person is detected (by blocking a
sensing beam), the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 sends a stop signal to the machine, causing it to stop by the time the object or
person can reach any machine hazard point.
The distance is calculated differently for U.S. and European installations. Both methods take into account several factors,
including a calculated human speed, the total system stopping time (which itself has several components), and the depth
penetration factor. After the distance has been determined, record the calculated distance on the Daily Checkout Card.
WARNING: Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
The Banner emitters and receivers must be mounted at a distance from the nearest hazard such that an
individual cannot reach the hazard before cessation of the hazardous motion or situation. This distance
can be calculated using the formulas in this section, as described by ANSI B11.19 and ISO 13855, and
must be greater than 100 mm (4 in) regardless of calculated value. Failure to establish and
maintain the safety distance (minimum distance) may result in serious bodily injury or
death.
Reduced Resolutions increases Dpf (or C). Increase the depth penetration factor to calculate
proper minimum distance whenever Reduced Resolution is used. Always turn Reduced
Resolution Off when the larger minimum object detection size is not required.

Notes:
1. The OSHA-recommended hand speed constant K
has been determined by various studies and, although
these studies indicate speeds of 1600 mm/sec. (63 in/sec.) to more than 2500 mm/sec. (100 in/sec.),
they are not conclusive determinations. Consider all factors, including the physical ability of the operator,
when determining the value of K to be used.
2. The recommended hand speed constant K, derived from data on approach speeds of the body or parts of
the body as stated in ISO 13855.
3. Ts is usually measured by a stop-time measuring device. If the machine manufacturer's specified stop
time is used, at least 20% should be added to allow for possible clutch/ brake system deterioration. This
measurement must take into account the slower of the two MPCE channels, and the response time of all
devices or controls that react to stop the machine.
WARNING: Determine Correct Stop Time
Stop time (Ts) must include the response time of all devices or controls that react to stop the
machine. If all devices are not included, the calculated safety distance (Ds or S) will be too short. This
can lead to serious bodily injury or death. Be sure to include the stop time of all relevant devices and
controls in your calculations.
If required, each of the two Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCE1 and MPCE2) must be capable of
immediately stopping the dangerous machine motion, regardless of the state of the other. These two
channels of machine control need not be identical, but the stop time performance of the machine (Ts,
used to calculate the safety distance) must take into account the slower of the two channels.

3.1.2 Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards
A pass-through hazard is associated with applications where personnel may pass through a safeguard (which issues a stop
command to remove the hazard), and then continues into the guarded area, such as in perimeter guarding. Subsequently,
their presence is no longer detected, and the related danger becomes the unexpected start or restart of the machine while
personnel are within the guarded area.
In the use of light screens, a pass-through hazard typically results from large safety distances calculated from long
stopping times, large minimum object sensitivities, reach-over, reach-through, or other installation considerations. A passthrough hazard can be generated with as little as 75 mm (3 in) between the defined area and the machine frame or hard
(fixed) guarding.
Eliminate or reduce pass-through hazards whenever possible. While it is recommended to eliminate the pass-through
hazard altogether, this may not be possible due to machine layout, machine capabilities, or other application
considerations.
One solution is to ensure that personnel are continually sensed while within the hazardous area. This can be accomplished
by using supplemental safeguarding, such as described by the safety requirements in ANSI B11.19 or other appropriate
standards.
An alternative method is to ensure that once the safeguarding device is tripped it will latch and will require a deliberate
manual action to reset. This method of safeguarding relies upon the location of the reset switch as well as safe work
practices and procedures to prevent an unexpected start or restart of the guarded machine.
WARNING: Use of the Banner device for Perimeter Guarding
If a Banner device is installed in an application that results in a pass-through hazard (for example,
perimeter guarding), either the Banner device System or the Machine Primary Control Elements
(MPCEs) of the guarded machine must cause a Latched response following an interruption of the
defined area.
The reset of this Latched condition may only be achieved by actuating a reset switch that is separate
from the normal means of machine cycle initiation.
Lockout/Tagout procedures per ANSI Z244.1 may be required, or additional safeguarding, as described
by ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or other appropriate standards, must be used if a passthrough
hazard cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level of risk. Failure to observe this
warning may result in serious bodily injury or death.
As described in Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum
Distance) on page
properly positioned such that an individual cannot reach
through the defined area and access the hazard point
before the machine has stopped.
Additionally, the hazard cannot be accessible by reaching
around, under, or over the defined area. To accomplish
this, supplemental guarding (mechanical barriers, such as
screens or bars), as described by ANSI B11.19 safety
requirements or other appropriate standards, must be
installed. Access will then be possible only through the
defined area of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System or through
other safeguarding that prevents access to the hazard (see
Figure 4 on page 15).
The mechanical barriers used for this purpose are typically
called "hard (fixed) guarding"; there must be no gaps
between the hard (fixed) guarding and the defined area.
Any openings in the hard (fixed) guarding must comply with
the safe opening requirements of ANSI B11.19 or other
appropriate standard.

example, behind the robot and the conveyor). Additional supplemental safeguarding may be required to prevent clearance
or trapping hazards (for example, a safety mat as an area guard between the robot, the turntable, and the conveyor).

WARNING: The Hazard Must Be Accessible Only through the Defined Area
The installation of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 must prevent any individual from reaching around, under,
over or through the defined area and into the hazard without being detected. Mechanical barriers (for
example, hard (fixed) guarding) or supplemental safeguarding may be required to comply with this
requirement, and is described by ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or other appropriate standards.
3.1.4 Other Considerations
Reset Switch Location
The reset switch must be mounted at a location that complies with the warning and guidelines below.
hazardous areas are not in view from the switch location, additional means of safeguarding must be provided. The switch
should be protected from accidental or unintended actuation (for example, through the use of rings or guards).
A key-actuated reset switch provides some operator or supervisory control, as the key can be removed from the switch
and taken into the guarded area. However, this does not prevent unauthorized or inadvertent resets due to spare keys in
the possession of others, or additional personnel entering the guarded area unnoticed. When considering where to locate
the reset switch, follow the guidelines below.
WARNING: Reset Switch Location
If any
When considering where to locate the reset switch, you must follow the guidelines outlined in this
section.
If any areas within the guarded area are not visible from the reset switch, additional safeguarding must
be provided, as described by the ANSI B11.19 series or other appropriate standards.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
• Located to allow the switch operator a full, unobstructed, view of the entire guarded area while the reset is
performed
• Out of reach from within the guarded area
•
Protected against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (such as through the use of rings or guards).
Important: Resetting a safeguard must not initiate hazardous motion. Safe work procedures require a
start-up procedure to be followed and the individual performing the reset to verify that the entire
hazardous area is clear of all personnel before each reset of the safeguard is performed. If any area
cannot be observed from the reset switch location, additional supplemental safeguarding must be used:
at a minimum, visual and audible warnings of machine start-up.
Adjacent Reflective Surfaces
WARNING: Avoid Installation Near Reflective Surfaces
Avoid locating the defined area near a reflective surface; it could reflect sensing beam(s) around an
object or person within the defined area, and prevent its detection by the EZ-SCREEN Type 2. Perform
the trip test, as described in this manual, to detect such reflection(s) and the resultant optical short
circuit.
Failure to prevent reflection problems will result in incomplete guarding and could
result in serious injury or death.
A reflective surface located adjacent to the defined area may deflect one or more beams around an object in the defined
area. In the worst case, an optical short circuit may occur, allowing an object to pass undetected through the defined area.
This reflective surface may result from shiny surfaces or glossy paint on the machine, the workpiece, the work surface, the
floor, or the walls. Beams deflected by reflective surfaces are discovered by performing the trip test and the periodic
checkout procedures. To eliminate problem reflections:
If possible, relocate the sensors to move the beams away from the reflective surface(s), being careful to maintain
•
adequate separation distance
•
Otherwise, if possible, paint, mask, or roughen the shiny surface to reduce its reflectivity
• Where these are not possible (as with a shiny workpiece or machine frame), determine the worst-case resolution
resulting from the optical short circuit and use the corresponding depth penetration factor (Dpf or C) in the Safety
Distance (Minimum Distance) formula; or mount the sensors in such a way that the receiver's field of view and/or
the emitter's spread of light are restricted from the reflective surface
• Repeat the trip test (see Trip Test on page 28) to verify that these changes have eliminated the problem
reflection(s). If the workpiece is especially reflective and comes close to the defined area, perform the trip test with
the workpiece in place
Use of Corner Mirrors
Figure 5. Adjacent Reflective Surfaces
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 may be used with one or more corner mirrors. Mirrors are not allowed for applications that would allow
undetected personnel access into the safeguarded area. The use of glass-surface corner mirrors reduces the maximum
specified emitter/receiver separation by approximately 8 percent per mirror, as follows:
113.8 m (45 ft)
212.7 m (42 ft)
311.7 m (38 ft)
410.8 m (35 ft)
If mirrors are used, the difference between the angle of incidence from the emitter to the mirror and from the mirror to
the receiver must be between 45° and 120° (see Figure 6 on page
light screen may deflect beam(s) to the receiver, preventing the object from being detected, also know as false proxing.
Angles greater than 120° result in difficult alignment and possible optical short circuits.
WARNING: Avoid Retroreflective Installation
Do not install emitters and receivers in "retroreflective" mode, with less than a 45° angle of incidence,
as shown. Sensing may be unreliable in this configuration and result in a serious bodily injury
or death.

). If placed at a sharper angle, an object in the
Figure 6. Using EZ-SCREEN Type 2 sensors in a retroreflective mode
Emitter and Receiver Orientation
The emitter and receiver must be mounted parallel to each other and aligned in a common plane, with both cable ends
pointing in the same direction. Never mount the emitter with its cable end oriented in the opposite direction of the cable
end of the receiver. If this occurs, voids in the light screen may allow objects or personnel to pass through the defined
area undetected.
The emitter and receiver may be oriented in a vertical or horizontal plane, or at any angle between horizontal and vertical,
as long as they are parallel to each other and their cable ends point in the same direction. Verify that the light screen
completely covers all access to the hazard point that is not already protected by hard (fixed) guarding or other
supplemental guarding.
WARNING: Proper Orientation of System Emitters and Receivers
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters and receivers must be installed with their corresponding cabled ends
pointing in the same direction (for example, both cabled ends facing up). Failure to orient them
properly will impair the performance of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System and will result in
incomplete guarding, and could result in serious bodily injury or death.

Installation of Multiple Systems
Whenever two or more EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitter and receiver pairs are adjacent to one another, optical crosstalk may
take place between the systems. To minimize optical crosstalk, alternate the positions of the emitters and receivers (see
Figure 9 on page
When three or more systems are installed in the same plane (as shown in Figure 9 on page 19), optical crosstalk may
occur between sensor pairs whose emitter and receiver lenses are oriented in the same direction. In this situation,
eliminate optical crosstalk by mounting these sensor pairs exactly in line with each other within one plane, or by adding a
mechanical barrier between the pairs.
Do not connect multiple pairs of sensors to one Interface Module (for example, IM-T-9A/-11A) or
otherwise parallel OSSD outputs. Connection of multiple OSSD safety outputs to a single device
may result in serious bodily injury or death, and is prohibited.

WARNING: Proper Orientation of System Emitters and Receivers
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters and receivers must be installed with their corresponding cabled ends
pointing in the same direction (for example, both cabled ends facing up). Failure to orient them
properly will impair the performance of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System and will result in
incomplete guarding, and could result in serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING: Synchronization
In situations where multiple systems are mounted closely together, or where a secondary emitter is in
view (within ±5°), within range of an adjacent receiver; a receiver may synchronize to the signal from
the wrong emitter, reducing the safety function of the light screen.
3.2.1 Overview of Emitter/Receiver Mounting Hardware
Mounting Hardware
The EZ-SCREEN standard end-cap mounting bracket
hardware is supplied with each emitter and receiver.
Brackets are designed to mount directly to MSA Series
stands using the hardware with the supplied stands.
Using Center Mounting Brackets
Center mounting brackets are supplied with longer sensors
and must be used whenever the sensors are subject to
shock or vibration. The sensors are designed to be mounted
with up to 450 mm (18 in) distance between brackets:
•
Sensors 600 to 900 mm (24 in to 36 in) long are
supplied with one center bracket, which should be
centered on the sensor.
Sensors 1050 to 1350 mm (42 in to 54 in) long are
•
supplied with two center brackets, which should be
positioned 1/3 of the sensor's length from each
sensor end.
• Sensors 1500 to 1800 mm (59 in to 71 in) long are
supplied with three center brackets
To install each bracket:
1. Spread the clamp and snap over the back of the
sensor so that the clamp is securely fastened to the
sensor without blocking any beams.
2. Compress the foam spacer and slide the clamp
along the length of the sensor housing to align the
clamp with the center mounting bracket as shown in
Figure 11 on page 20. Three separate mounting
holes are provided on the clamp to allow for all
possible mounting configurations.
3. Connect the clamp to the center bracket using the
M3 screw supplied.
4. Loosen all the mounting screws to the sensor, align
the sensors and then tighten the end screws.
Finally, tighten the M3 screw joining the clamp to
the center mounting bracket.

Figure 11. Emitter and Receiver Center Mounting Brackets
3.2.2 Mounting and Initial Alignment of Emitter/Receiver Pairs
Emitter/receiver pairs may be spaced from 0.2 to 15 m (8 in to 50 ft) apart. The maximum distance between an emitter
and its receiver is reduced if corner mirrors are used. The supplied brackets (when mounted to the sensor end caps) allow
±30° rotation.
To mount each emitter/receiver pair:
1. From a common point of reference (ensuring the calculated safety distance), make measurements to locate the
emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
Important: The connector ends of both sensors must point in the same direction (see Emitter
and Receiver Orientation on page 17
).
2. Mount the emitter and receiver mounting brackets using the supplied M6 bolts and Keps nuts, or user-supplied
hardware.
3. Mount the emitter and receiver in their brackets; position their windows directly facing each other.
Measure from a reference plane (for example, a level building floor) to the same point(s) on the emitter and
4.
receiver to verify their mechanical alignment.
5. Use a carpenter's level, a plumb bob, or the optional LAT-1 Laser Alignment Tool or check the diagonal distances
between the sensors, to achieve mechanical alignment.
Verifying Initial Emitter/Receiver Alignment
As you mount the sensors, make sure that
• The emitter and receiver are directly opposite each other.
• Nothing is interrupting the defined area (marked on the sensors).
• The defined area is the same distance from a common reference plane for each sensor.
• The emitter and receiver are in the same plane and are level/plumb and square to each other (vertical, horizontal,
or inclined at the same angle).
Angled or Horizontal InstallationsVertical Installations
Verify that the
◦Distance X at the emitter and receiver are
equal.
◦Distance Y at the emitter and receiver are
equal.
◦Distance Z at the emitter and receiver are equal
from parallel surfaces.
◦Vertical face (that is, the lens) is level/plumb.
◦Defined area is square. Check diagonal
measurements if possible; see Vertical

Diagonal B).
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
device 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. Ensure that all legal requirements
have been met and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual
are followed.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and interfaced to the
guarded machine by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety
regulations.
The following are the main steps to electrically install the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 components and interface with the guarded
machine:
Apply power to each emitter/receiver pair (see Initial Electrical Connections
1.
2. Perform and Initial Checkout Procedure (see Initial Checkout Procedure on page 25)
3. Make all electrical interface connections to the guarded machine (see Electrical Connections to the Guarded
Machine on page 29)
4. Perform a commissioning checkout procedure (see Commissioning Checkout on page 33)
4.1 Routing Cordsets
on page 23)
Connect the QD connectors and route the sensor cables to the junction box, electrical panel, or other enclosure in which
the Interface Module, the redundant mechanically linked interposing relays, FSDs, or other safety-related parts of the
control system are located. This must be done per local wiring code for low-voltage dc control cables and may require
installation of electrical conduit. See Cordsets on page
The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical noise and to operate reliably in
industrial settings. However, extreme electrical noise may cause a random Trip or Latch condition; in extreme cases, a
Lockout is possible. Emitter and receiver wiring is low voltage; routing the sensor wires alongside power wires, motor/
servo wires, or other high-voltage wiring may inject noise into the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System. It is good wiring practice
(and may be required by code) to isolate emitter and receiver cables from high-voltage wires, avoid routing cables close to
“noisy” wiring, and provide a good connection to earth ground.
Sensor QD cabling and any interconnect wiring should meet the following specifications. The wires used should have an
insulation temperature rating of at least 90 °C (194 °F).

4.2 Initial Electrical Connections
WARNING: Proper Electrical Hookup
Electrical hookup must be made by Qualified Personnel and must comply with NEC (National Electrical
Code) and local standards. Make no more connections to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2
are described in this manual. Connection of other wiring or equipment to the EZ-SCREEN
Type 2 System could result in serious bodily injury or death.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required (refer to OSHA1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate
standard for controlling hazardous energy). Following relevant electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC,
NFPA79 or IEC60204-1, always connect the earth ground (green/yellow wire). Do not operate the EZ-SCREEN Type 2
without an earth ground connection.
Make the electrical connections in the order described in this section. Do not remove end-caps; no internal connections are
to be made. All connections are made through the M12 Euro-style quick-disconnects.
Emitter CordsetReceiver Cordset
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters have an 8-pin cordset, but only three
conductors are required:
•Brown = +24 V dc
•
Blue = 0 V dc
•Green/Yellow = GND
Do not connect any wires to the machine control circuits (that is,
OSSD outputs) at this time.
For the initial checkout, only the following
conductors should be connected:
•Brown = +24 V dc
•Blue = 0 V dc
•Green/Yellow = GND
Additionally, connect the external reset switch, if used, or test signal
contact to the Reset/Test wire (violet) and to 24 V dc.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 receiver
NOTE: The reset switch must be a normally closed switch that is held open for approximately 1/4
second, then closed to accomplish the reset. The switch must be capable of switching 10 to 30 V dc at
30 mA.
The other wires are for an optional hookup that allows for parallel connection (color-for-color) to the receiver cable. This
optional hookup provides for sensor interchangeability (or swapability) that facilitates installing either sensor at either QD
connection. Besides providing similar cabling, this wiring scheme is advantageous during installation, wiring, and
troubleshooting.
The initial checkout procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person. It must be performed only after configuring the
System and after connecting the emitter and receiver.
The procedure is performed on two occasions:
• To ensure proper installation when the System is first installed
•
To ensure proper System function whenever any maintenance or modification is performed on the System or on
the machinery that is guarded by the System.
4.3.1 Configuring the System for Initial Checkout
For the initial checkout, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System must be checked without power available to the guarded machine.
Final interface connections to the guarded machine cannot take place until the light screen system has been checked out.
This may require lockout/tagout procedures (refer to OSHA1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate
successfully completed.
Verify that:
• Power has been removed from (or is not available to) the guarded machine and its controls or actuators
• The machine control circuit or the Interface Module is not connected to the OSSD outputs at this time (permanent
connections will be made later)

1. Inspect the area near the light screen for reflective surfaces, including work pieces and the guarded machine.
Reflective surfaces may cause light beams to reflect around a person in the light screen, preventing the person
from being detected and not stopping the machine motion (see Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on page
2. Eliminate the reflective surfaces as much possible by relocating, painting, masking, or roughening them. Remaining
problem reflections will become apparent during the trip test.
3. Verify that power is removed from the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System and from the guarded machine and that the
OSSD safety outputs are not connected.
4. Remove all obstructions from the light screen.
5. Leaving power to the guarded machine Off, make power and earth ground connections on both the emitter and
receiver cables (see Generic Emitter Wiring Diagram on page 34).
6. Power up the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System only.
7. Verify that the input power is present to both the emitter and the receiver. At least one indicator on both the
emitter and the receiver should be On and the start-up sequence should cycle.
8. Watch both the emitter and the receiver LED indicators to determine the light screen alignment status.

Figure 12. Emitter Status Indicators
• Lockout Condition—on the emitter, the green Power indicator is flashing or on the receiver, the red
Status Blocked indicator is flashing. See Troubleshooting and Lockout Conditions on page
diagnostic information.
• Normal Operating Mode—to the emitter, the green Power indicator is ON.
• Test Mode, input fault: On the receiver, the red Status Blocked indicator is On and the green Status Clear
indicator is On. Test input open at power-up.
• Receiver Latch Condition, all optical beams clear—on the receiver, the red Status Blocked indicator is
On and both yellow Alignment indicators are flashing. For Latch Output receivers, the outputs are On only
when all beams are clear and after a manual reset. If a reset routine can cause a Clear (Run) condition,
optimize the alignment as described in Optical Alignment on page 26. If a Clear (Run) condition cannot be
achieved, see “Blocked condition” below.
• Clear (Run) Condition—on the receiver, the green Status Clear indicator is On Green, and both yellow
Alignment indicators are On. To optimize alignment and maximize excess gain, slightly loosen the four
sensor mounting screws and rotate one sensor left and right, noting the positions where the red Status
Blocked indicator turns On; repeat with the other sensor (see Optical Alignment on page 26). Center each
sensor between those two positions and tighten the end cap mounting screws, making sure to maintain the
positioning as the screws are tightened. The sensor lenses should directly face each other. Proceed to Trip
Test on page 28 once optimum optical alignment is verified.
• A Blocked Condition—on the receiver, the red Status Blocked indicator is On, and both yellow Alignment
indicators are On or Off. To remedy, perform the Optical Alignment on page 26 procedure.
4.3.3 Optical Alignment
CAUTION: Ensure that no individuals are exposed to any hazard if the OSSD outputs turn ON
2. Verify the optimal alignment, adjusting sensor rotation with power ON:
a.
Verify that the emitter and the receiver are pointed squarely at each other. Use a straight edge (for
example, a level) to determine the direction the sensor is facing. The sensor face must be perpendicular
to the optical axis.
NOTE: At power-up, all indicators are tested (flash).
b. If the synchronization beam is not aligned, the Status Blocked indicator is Red and both Alignment
indicators will be OFF.
EZ-SCREEN® Type 2 Light Screen
If the Green Status and Yellow Alignment indicators are On, go to step "d". If not, rotate each sensor (one
c.
at a time) left and right until the Status Clear indicator comes ON Green. As the sensor rotates out of
alignment, the Status Blocked indicator will turn solid Red.
d. To optimize alignment, note the position where the Status Blocked indicator comes On Red when the
sensor is rotated both left and right. Center the sensor between the two positions, and tighten the end
cap mounting screws, making sure the positioning does not drift as the screws are tightened.
For situations where alignment is difficult, a LAT-1-LP Laser Alignment Tool can be used to assist or
confirm alignment by providing a visible red dot along the sensor’s optical axis.

EZ-SCREEN Type 2 sensors may be used with one or more corner mirrors for guarding more than one side of an area. The
MSM-... and SSM-... rear-surface glass mirrors are rated at 85% efficiency. Thus, excess gain and sensing range are
reduced when using mirrors; see Use of Corner Mirrors on page 16
During any adjustments, allow only one individual to adjust any one item at any one time.
In addition to the standard optical alignment procedure, verify:
1. The emitter, receiver, and all mirrors are level and plumb.
2. The middle of the defined area and the center point of the mirrors are approximately the same distance from a
common reference point, such as the same height above a level floor.
3. There are equal amounts of mirror surface above and below the defined area such that the optical beams are not
passing below or above the mirror.
NOTE: A LAT-1-LSLaser Alignment Tool is very helpful by providing a visible red dot along the optical
axis. See Figure 14 on page

4.3.5 Trip Test
After optimizing the optical alignment, perform the trip test to verify the detection capability of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2
System. This test will also verify correct sensor orientation and identify optical short circuits. Once the installation has
passed the trip test, the safety outputs may be connected and the commissioning checkout may be performed (initial
installations only).
1.
Use the 30 mm (1.18 in) diameter specified test piece supplied with the receiver .
2. Verify that the System is in Run mode, the Status Clear indicator is ON steady Green (or flashing if reduced
resolution is enabled), all Zone indicators are Green, and the Yellow Status indicator is ON. A manual reset may be
required in Latch mode.
3. Pass the specified test piece through the defined area in three paths: near the emitter, near the receiver, and
midway between the emitter and receiver.
During each pass, while the test piece is interrupting the defined area, at least one Zone indicator must be Red.
The Red Zone indicator must change with the position of the test piece within the defined area.
Trip Output Operation: The Status Blocked indicator must turn ON Red and remain ON for as long as the
•
test piece remains in the defined area (and the Status Clear indicator OFF during the same time). If not,
the installation has failed the trip test. When the test piece is removed from the defined area, the Status
Clear indicator must turn ON Green and the Status Blocked indicator must go OFF.
• Latch Output Operation: The Status Blocked indicator must turn ON Red and remain ON for as long as the
test piece remains in the defined area (and the Status Clear indicator OFF during the same time). Both
Yellow indicators must remain ON steady, unless the top or bottom beam is blocked. If the top (synch)
beam is blocked, both Alignment indicators will go OFF.
If the Yellow Alignment indicators begin to flash at any time while the test piece is interrupting the defined
area, the installation has failed the trip test. Check for correct sensor orientation and reflective surfaces. Do
not continue until the situation is corrected. In Latch Output Operation, the Status Blocked indicator will
remain ON until a manual reset is performed (both Yellow Alignment indicators will be flashing).
WARNING: If Trip Test Indicates a Problem
If the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System does not respond properly to the trip test, do not attempt to
use the System. If this occurs, the System cannot be relied on to stop dangerous machine
motion when a person or object enters the defined area. Serious bodily injury or death
could result.
5. If mirrors are used in the application: Test the defined area on each leg of the sensing path (for example, emitter
to mirror, between mirror and receiver, see Figure 17 on page 29
).
Figure 17. Trip Test with Corner Mirror
6. If the
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System passes all checks during the trip test, go on to Electrical Connections to the
Guarded Machine on page 29.
4.4 Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine
Verify that power has been removed from the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 and the guarded machine. Make the permanent electrical
connections as described in OSSD Output Connections on page 30 and FSD Interfacing Connections on page 30 as
required by each individual application.
Lockout/tagout procedures may be required (refer to OSHA 1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate
standard for controlling hazardous energy). Follow relevant electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC,
NFPA79 or IEC 60204-1.
Supply power and the external reset switch should already be connected. The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 must also have been
aligned and passed the Initial Checkout, as described in Initial Checkout Procedure
The final connections to be made are:
• OSSD outputs
• FSD interfacing
• MPCE/EDM
CAUTION: Shock Hazard
Always disconnect power from the Banner device and the guarded machine before making any
connections or replacing any component. Use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock at all
times.

WARNING: Interfacing of Both OSSDs
Both OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) outputs must be connected to the machine control so that
the machine’s safety-related control system interrupts the circuit to the machine primary control
element(s), resulting in a non-hazardous condition.
Never wire an intermediate device(s) (for example, PLC, PES, or PC) that can fail in such a manner that
there is the loss of the safety stop command, OR in such a manner that the safety function can be
suspended, overridden, or defeated, unless accomplished with the same or greater degree of safety.
WARNING: OSSD Interfacing
To ensure proper operation, the Banner device output parameters and machine input parameters must
be considered when interfacing the Banner device OSSD outputs to machine inputs. Machine control
circuitry must be designed so that the maximum load resistance value is not exceeded and that the
maximum specified OSSD Off-state voltage does not result in an On condition.
Failure to properly interface the OSSD Outputs to the guarded machine may result in serious
bodily injury or death.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 to the machine.
45 and the warning below before making OSSD
4.4.2 FSD Interfacing Connections
FSDs (Final Switching Devices) takes many forms. The most common are forced-guided, mechanically linked relays, or
interface modules. The mechanical linkage between the contacts allows the device to be monitored by the External Device
Monitoring circuit for certain failures.
Depending on the application, the use of FSDs can facilitate controlling voltage and current that differs from the OSSD
outputs of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2. FSDs can also be used to control an additional number of hazards by creating multiple
safety stop circuits.
Protective Stop (Safety Stop) Circuits
A protective stop (safety stop) allows for an orderly cessation of motion for safeguarding purposes, which results in a stop
of motion and removal of power from the MPCEs (assuming this does not create additional hazards). A protective stop
circuit typically comprises a minimum of two normally open contacts from forced-guided, mechanically linked relays, which
are monitored through External Device Monitoring to detect certain failures in order to prevent the loss of the safety
function. Such a circuit can be described as a "safe switching point". Typically, protective stop circuits are either singlechannel, which is a series connection of at least two normally open contacts; or dual-channel, which is a separate
connection of two normally open contacts. In either method, the safety function relies on the use of redundant contacts to
control a single hazard. If one contact fails On, the second contact arrests the hazards and prevents the next cycle from
occurring.
The interfacing of the protective stop circuits must be accomplished so that the safety function cannot be suspended,
overridden, or defeated, unless accomplished in a manner of the same or greater degree of safety as the machine’s safety
related control system that includes the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.
The normally open safety outputs from an interface module provide a series connection of redundant contacts that form
protective stop circuits for use in either single-channel or dual-channel control.
Dual-Channel Control
Dual-channel control provides the ability to electrically extend the safe switching point beyond the FSD contacts. With
proper monitoring, this method of interfacing is capable of detecting certain failures in the control wiring between the
safety stop circuit and the MPCEs. These failures include a short-circuit of one channel to a secondary source of energy or
voltage, or a loss of the switching ability of one of the FSD outputs. Such failures may lead to a loss of redundancy, or to a
complete loss of safety, if not detected and corrected.
The possibility of a failure to the wiring increases as the physical distance between the FSD safety stop circuits and the
MPCEs increases, as the length or the routing of the interconnecting wires increases, or if the FSD safety stop circuits and
the MPCEs are located in different enclosures. For this reason, dual-channel control with EDM monitoring should be used in
any installation where the FSDs are located remotely from the MPCEs.
Single-Channel Control
Single-channel control uses a series connection of FSD contacts to form a safe switching point. After this point in the
machine’s safety-related control system, failures can occur that would result in a loss of the safety function (such as a
short-circuit to a secondary source of energy or voltage). For this reason, single-channel control interfacing should be used
only in installations where FSD safety stop circuits and the MPCEs are mounted within the same control panel, adjacent to
each other, and are directly connected to each other; or where the possibility of such a failure can be excluded. If this
cannot be achieved, then dual-channel control should be used.
Methods to exclude the possibility of these failures include, but are not limited to:
•
Physically separating interconnecting control wires from each other and from secondary sources of power
• Routing interconnecting control wires in separate conduit, runs, or channels
• Locating all elements (modules, switches, and devices under control) within one control panel, adjacent to each
other, and directly connected with short wires
• Properly installing multi-conductor cabling and multiple wires through strain relief fittings. Over-tightening of a
strain-relief can cause short-circuits at that point.
• Using positive-opening or direct-drive components, installed and mounted in a positive mode
4.4.3 Machine Primary Control Elements and EDM Input
Each of the two Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCE1 and MPCE2) must be capable of immediately stopping the
dangerous machine motion, irrespective of the state of the other. These two channels of machine control need not be
identical, but the stop time performance of the machine (Ts, used to calculate the safety distance, see Calculating the
Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on page 11) must take into account the slower of the two channels. Some machines
offer only one Primary Control Element. For such machines, it may be necessary to duplicate the circuit of the single MPCE,
by adding a second. Refer to Generic Wiring to FSDs (manual reset) on page 35 and Generic Wiring — Interface Module
(2-Channel EDM, Manual Reset) on page 36, or consult the machine manufacturer for additional information.
4.4.4 Manual Reset/Remote Test Input and EDM
A means is provided for the connection of an external remote test switch or contact (typically a normally open, held
closed). Cycling this switch “turns Off” both OSSD outputs.
A single input provides the means to reset the system from a latch or lockout condition, to externally test the light screen
and its interface, and to monitor external devices (EDM) for proper operation. If the System is in Run condition with
outputs On, operating the switch results in a test. If the System is Latched or Locked Out, operating the switch results in a
reset. If this input is connected to 0V dc or left floating, the System goes to a lockout condition on power-up. (See
Troubleshooting and Lockout Conditions on page 40 for clearing lockouts.)
Connect the receiver’s reset/test wire (pin 8) to the supply voltage (see Generic Wiring to FSDs (manual reset) on page
35 and Generic Wiring — Interface Module (2-Channel EDM, Manual Reset) on page 36) via the reset switch. The switch
should be a normally closed (N.C.) reset switch, or contacts of the Machine Control Test circuit (typically a normally open
contact held or energized closed), or the monitoring contacts of the external device(s) being verified. One switch could be
used for the Reset and Test functions, or they can be separate switches. However, all switches should be mounted as
specified for a reset switch (see Reset Switch Location on page 15).
To operate the switch (and perform a manual reset or a system test), open the normally closed (N.C.) switch for a
minimum of 1/4 second and then close it.
Manual Reset
From a Latched or Lockout condition, operating the switch results in a manual reset. Safe work procedures must require
that a start-up procedure is followed and that the individual performing the reset of the guarding device verifies that the
entire hazardous area is clear of all personnel, before performing each reset. If any area can not be observed from the
reset switch location, additional supplementary guarding must be used: at minimum, visual and audible warnings of
machine start-up.
Resetting a safe guarding device must not initiate hazardous motion.
Remote (External) Test
When in RUN mode, opening this switch for more than 1/4 second will initiate a Test cycle that turns OFF the OSSD
outputs and generates an internal self-test.
• Automatic (Machine) Test: An external switch, typically a normally open contact that is held closed, is used to
externally generate a test cycle of the
switch can be a limit-style switch, a hard contact from a relay, or an output from the machine control logic.
• Manual Test: A normally closed (N.C.) momentary type switch used for manual reset can also be used to manually
initiate a test cycle. This remote Test input may be useful for EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System setup and to verify
machine control circuit operation.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 and its interface. Depending on the application this
WARNING: Test Function
A machine or automatic test of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 and its interface may be required as determined
by a risk assessment and appropriate standard (for example, ISO 14121 and EN ISO 13849-1). Failure
to test the safeguarding function at appropriate intervals may lead to the loss of the safety
function.
External Device Monitoring Hookup
It is strongly recommended that one normally closed and one normally open, forced-guided monitoring contact of each
FSD and MPCE be connected to the Monitoring circuit (see Generic Wiring to FSDs (manual reset) on page 35 and
Generic Wiring — Interface Module (2-Channel EDM, Manual Reset) on page 36). If this is done, proper operation of the
MPCEs will be verified.
Receiver quick disconnect pin 8 provides connection for external device monitoring. External Device Monitoring (EDM)
must be wired in one of two configurations: Power Monitoring or No EDM.
• Power Monitoring is a series-parallel connection of monitor contacts that are forced-guided (mechanically linked)
from each device controlled by the EZ-SCREEN. The monitoring contacts should transition within 200 milliseconds
of the OSSD outputs switching ON or OFF. If the transition results in an open condition on pin 8 (Reset/Test input)
longer than 200 ms, a Test cycle will turn OFF the OSSD outputs. Refer to Generic Wiring to FSDs (manual reset)
on page 35 and Generic Wiring — Interface Module (2-Channel EDM, Manual Reset) on page 36 for Power
Monitoring hookup.
• No Monitoring. Use this configuration initially, in order to perform the initial checkout; see Initial Checkout
Procedure on page 25. If No Monitoring is selected, the user must ensure that any single failure of the external
devices does not result in a hazardous condition and, in such a case, a successive machine cycle will be prevented.
To configure the System for No Monitoring, simply do not interface the Power Monitoring circuit (i.e., the four
forced-guided normally open contacts from each device) and connect directly to +24V dc.
CAUTION: EDM Monitoring
If the system is configured for "No Monitoring," it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that this does not
create a hazardous situation.
After the initial trip test has been accomplished, and the OSSD safety outputs and EDM connections have been made to
the machine to be controlled, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is ready for testing in combination with the guarded machine.
The operation of the
machine may be put into service. To do this, a Qualified Person must perform the Commissioning Checkout Procedure
described in Commissioning Checkout on page 33.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 with the guarded machine must be verified before the combined System and
4.4.6 Commissioning Checkout
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 Banner device and the guarded machine until the defect or problem has been corrected. Attempts
to use the guarded machine under such conditions may result in serious bodily injury or
death.
Perform this checkout procedure as part of the System installation after the System has been interfaced to the guarded
machine, or whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the
to the machine). A Qualified Person must perform the procedure. Checkout results should be recorded and kept on or near
the guarded machine as required by applicable standards.
To prepare the System for this checkout:
1.
Examine the guarded machine to verify that it is of a type and design compatible with the EZ-SCREEN Type 2
System. See Examples: Inappropriate Applications on page 7 for a list of misapplications.
2. Verify that the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is configured for the intended application.
3. Verify that the safety distance (minimum distance) from the closest danger point of the guarded machine to the
defined area is not less than the calculated distance, per Calculating the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance) on
page 11.
4. Verify that:
• Access to any dangerous parts of the guarded machine is not possible from any direction not protected by
the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System, hard (fixed) guarding, or supplemental safeguarding, and
• It is not possible for a person to stand between the defined area and the dangerous parts of the machine,
or
• Supplemental safeguarding and hard (fixed) guarding, as described by the appropriate safety standards,
are in place and functioning properly in any space (between the defined area and any hazard) which is
large enough to allow a person to stand undetected by the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.
5. Verify that all reset switches are mounted outside and in full view of the guarded area, out of reach of anyone
inside the guarded area, and that means of preventing inadvertent use is in place.
6. Examine the electrical wiring connections between the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 OSSD outputs and the guarded
machine’s control elements to verify that the wiring meets the requirements stated in Electrical Connections to the
Guarded Machine on page 29.
7. Inspect the area near the defined area (including work pieces and the guarded machine) for reflective surfaces (see
Adjacent Reflective Surfaces on page 16). Remove the reflective surfaces if possible by relocating them, painting,
masking or roughening them. Remaining problem reflections will become apparent during the Trip Test.
8. Verify that power to the guarded machine is Off. Remove all obstructions from the defined area. Apply power to the
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System. Latch Output models: (Manual Power-Up), both Alignment indicators will be flashing
Yellow. Perform a manual reset (open the reset switch for 1/4 second, then close it).
9. Observe the Status and Alignment indicators:
• Lockout: Status Blocked flashing Red
• Blocked: Status Blocked On Red Alignment indicators On, Off, or one of each Status Clear Off
• Clear: Status Clear On Green Alignment indicators both On Status Blocked Off
• Latch: (defined Status Blocked On Red Alignment indicators flashing Yellow area clear) Status Clear Off
10.A Blocked condition indicates that one or more of the beams is misaligned or interrupted. See the Alignment
procedure in Optical Alignment on page 26 to correct this situation.
11.After the Green and Yellow Status indicators are On, perform the trip test ( Trip Test on page 28) on each
sensing field to verify proper System operation and to detect possible optical short circuits or reflection problems.
Do not continue until the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 passes the trip test.
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 or changes
Important: Do not expose any individual to any hazard during the following checks.
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 may result in serious bodily injury or
death.
12.Apply power to the guarded machine and verify that the machine does not start up.
13.Interrupt (block) the defined area with the supplied test piece and verify that it is not possible for the guarded
machine to be put into motion while the beam(s) is blocked.
Initiate machine motion of the guarded machine and, while it is moving, use the supplied test piece to block the
14.
defined area. Do not attempt to insert the test piece into the dangerous parts of the machine. Upon blocking any
beam, the dangerous parts of the machine must come to a stop with no apparent delay.
15.Remove the test piece from the beam; verify that the machine does not automatically restart, and that the
initiation devices must be engaged to restart the machine.
16.Remove electrical power to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2. Both OSSD outputs should immediately turn Off, and the
machine must not be capable of starting until power is re-applied to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2.
17.Test the machine stopping response time, using an instrument designed for that purpose, to verify that it is the
same or less than the overall system response time specified by the machine manufacturer. A Banner Applications
Engineer can recommend a suitable instrument.
Do not continue operation until the entire checkout procedure is complete and all problems are
corrected.

from the receiver cable.
• Pins 2 and 3 are not connected, or are connected in parallel to the same color wire from the
emitter cordset and properly terminated.
Installation of transient (arc) suppressors across the coils of MPCE1 and MPC2 is recommended.
•
• See Single-Ended (Machine Interface) Cordsets on page 48 for available cordset information
Other interfacing modules and solutions are available, see Accessories on page 47.
WARNING: Use of Transient Suppressors
If transient suppressors are used, they MUST be installed across the coils of the machine control
elements. NEVER install suppressors directly across the contacts of the IM-T-..A Module. It is possible
for suppressors to fail as a short circuit. If installed directly across the contacts of the IM-T-..A Module,
a short-circuit suppressor creates an unsafe condition.
Certain procedures for installing, maintaining, and operating the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 must be performed by either
Designated Persons or Qualified Persons.
A Designated Person is identified and designated in writing, by the employer, as being appropriately trained and
qualified to perform system resets and the specified checkout procedures on the EZ-SCREEN Type 2. The Designated
Person is empowered to:
Perform manual resets and hold possession of the reset key (see Reset Procedures on page 37)
•
• Perform the Daily Checkout Procedure
A Qualified Person, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional training, or by extensive
knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve problems relating to the
installation of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System and its integration with the guarded machine. In addition to everything for
which the Designated Person is empowered, the Qualified Person is empowered to:
• Install the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System
• Perform all checkout procedures
• Make changes to the internal configuration settings
• Reset the System following a Lockout condition
5.2 Reset Procedures
System resets are performed using an external reset switch. This switch must be located outside the guarded area, and
must not be within reach from within the guarded area (see Reset Switch Location on page 15). Its location should provide
a clear view of the entire safeguarded area. If any hazardous areas are not in view from the switch location, additional
means of safeguarding must be provided. The switch should be protected from accidental or unintended actuation (for
example, through the use of rings or guards).
If supervisory control of the reset switch is required, a key switch may be used, with the key kept in the possession of a
Designated or Qualified Person. Using a key switch provides some level of personal control, since the key may be removed
from the switch. This hinders a reset while the key is under the control of an individual, but must not be relied upon solely
to guard against accidental or unauthorized reset. Spare keys in the possession of others or additional personnel entering
the safeguarded area unnoticed may create a hazardous situation.
5.2.1 Receiver Resets
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 receiver has a Reset input, pin 8 (violet wire), that provides for a manual reset input signal.
The
Receiver manual resets are required in the following situations:
• Trip Output operation – only after a Lockout (see Troubleshooting and Lockout Conditions on page 40 for
causes).
• Latch Output operation – at power-up, after each Latch condition occurs, or after a Lockout.
Reset Routine
To reset the receiver, close the reset switch for 1/4 to 2 seconds, then open it. An alternative method to reset either
component is to power the sensor down, then power it up.
NOTE: Closing the reset switch too long will cause the sensor to ignore the reset request; the switch
must be closed from 1/4 seconds to 2 seconds, but no longer.
5.2.2 Emitter Resets
In the rare occurrence that an emitter requires a reset, power the sensor down, then power it up. Emitter resets are
needed only if a Lockout occurs.
5.3 Status Indicators
The emitter has one LED and the receiver has four, to provide an ongoing indication of light screen and system operation.
In normal operation, the status indicators are as described below and as shown in Figure 21 on page 38. Additional LED
condition combinations indicate errors or faults; refer to Troubleshooting and Lockout Conditions on page
Two Yellow Alignment indicators (Top and Bottom) tell the alignment status of the top and bottom beams in the light
screen. This is helpful for sensor alignment: first align the Top beam (the sync beam), then the bottom beam. The
Alignment indicators also flash together to indicate a manual reset is needed (Latch output models).

reset, the System enters Run mode and begins scanning.
5.4.2 Run Mode
Trip Output Systems: If any beams become blocked while the System is running, the receiver outputs turn Off within the
stated System response time (see EZ-SCREEN Type 2 Models With Response Times on page 12). When all the beams

5.4.3 Manual Reset Procedure
Open the reset switch for at least 1/4 second, then close it.
5.5 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.
Semi-annually, the System and its interface to the guarded machine should be thoroughly checked out; this checkout
must be performed by a Qualified Person (see Checkout Procedure Schedule on page 44

A Lockout condition causes all of the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 OSSD outputs to turn or remain OFF, sending a stop signal to the
guarded machine. Each sensor provides diagnostic information, via the LEDs, to assist in the identification of the cause(s)
of lockouts. Lockout conditions are indicated as shown in #unique_88/TABLE_2884D935C0C24180A3F3A8D10833E3B1.

6.2 Recovery Procedures
To recover from a Lockout condition, correct all errors and perform sensor resets as indicated below.
6.2.1 Receiver (System Reset)
Open the Reset switch for 0.25 second and then close it, or (for Trip Output models not using a reset button) power the
sensor down, wait a second or two, then power it up.
6.2.2 Emitter Reset
Power the sensor down, wait a second or two, and then power it up (in the unlikely event that an emitter reset is needed).
WARNING: Lockouts and Power Failures
Power failures and Lockout conditions are indication of a problem and must be investigated immediately
by a Qualified Person. Attempts to continue to operate machinery by bypassing the EZ-SCREEN Type 2
System or other safeguards is dangerous and could result in an increased risk of harm.
WARNING: Shut Down Machinery Before Servicing
The machinery to which the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System is connected must not be operating at any time
during major service or maintenance. This may require lockout/tagout procedures (refer to
OSHA1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, ISO 14118, or the appropriate standard for controlling hazardous
energy). Servicing the

6.3 Electrical and Optical Noise
The EZ-SCREEN Type 2 is designed and manufactured to be highly resistant to electrical and optical noise and to operate
reliably in industrial settings. However, serious electrical and/or optical noise may cause a random In very extreme
electrical noise cases, a Lockout is possible. To minimize the effects of transitory noise, the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 responds to
noise only if the noise is detected on multiple consecutive scans.
If random nuisance Trips occur, check the following:
•
Poor connection between the sensor and earth ground
• Optical interference from adjacent light screens or other photoelectrics
• Sensor input or output wires routed too close to noisy wiring
6.3.1 Sources of Electrical Noise
Checking for sources of electrical noise: It is very important that the light screen sensors have a good earth ground.
Without this, the System can act like an antenna and random Trips and Lockouts can occur.
All EZ-SCREEN Type 2 wiring is low voltage; running these wires alongside power wires, motor/servo wires, or other highvoltage wiring, can inject noise into the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 System. It is good wiring practice (and may be required by
code) to isolate
The Banner model BT-1 Beam Tracker (see Alignment Aids on page 55 ) is a good tool for detecting electrical noise. It
can be used to detect electrical transient spikes and surges. Cover the lens of the BT-1 with electrical tape to block optical
light from entering the receiver lens. Press the RCV button on the BT-1 and position the Beam Tracker on the wires going
to the EZ-SCREEN Type 2 or any other nearby wires. The noise caused by switching of the inductive loads should be
addressed by installing proper transient suppression across the load.
Type 2 Light Screen
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 wires from high-voltage wires.
6.3.2 Sources of Optical Noise
Checking for sources of optical noise: Turn off the emitter, completely block the emitter, or open the Test input, then
use a Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker (see Alignment Aids on page 55 ) to check for light at the receiver. Press the RCV
button on the BT-1 and move it across the full length of the receiver’s sensing window. If the BT-1’s indicator lights, check
for emitted light from other sources (other safety light screens, screens or points, or standard photoelectric sensors).
6.4 Servicing and Maintenance
6.4.1 Cleaning
EZ-SCREEN Type 2 emitters and receivers are constructed of aluminum with a yellow painted finish and are rated IP65.
Lens covers are acrylic. Emitters and receivers are best cleaned using mild detergent or window cleaner and a soft cloth.

The following terms are used in this manual. Where possible, definitions are from the U.S. and international product
performance standards that govern the design of the Banner device. For more definitions, visit Banner Website.
A
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
Acronym for the American National Standards Institute, an
association of industry representatives that develops technical
standards (including safety standards). These standards comprise
a consensus from a variety of industries on good practice and
design. ANSI standards relevant to application of safety products
include the ANSI B11 Series, and ANSI/RIA R15.06. See
Standards and Regulations on page 56.
CE
Abbreviation for "Conformité Européenne" (French translation of
"European Conformity"). The CE mark on a product or machine
establishes its compliance with all relevant European Union (EU)
Directives and the associated safety standards.
Change of State (COS)
The change of an input signal when it switches from Run-to-Stop
or Stop-to-Run state. Dual-channel input signals, have two
possible configurable COS settings describe the signal disparity
limits that can exist between channels before a fault condition is
registered: simultaneous and concurrent. If simultaneity is a
requirement or a concern for the application, the user has to
ensure that he made the right selection during configuration.
Closed-Open Debounce Time
The time it takes to bridge a jittery input signal or bouncing of the
input contacts to prevent nuisance tripping of the Controller.
Adjustable from 6 ms to 100 ms. The default value is 6 ms (50 ms
for mute sensors). A longer closed-open debounce time will also
affect and increase the response time of the system and/or the
machine response time.
Code Validation
The configuration code file inspection process automatically
performed by the Controller to verify that the configuration code
has not been corrupted or altered in any way.
Commissioning
The process of operationally checking a Safety Controller
installation on a working machine, in order to verify that the
control system is working properly.
Automatic Reset
The safety input device control operation setting where the
assigned safety output will automatically turn on when all of its
associated input devices are in the Run state. No manual reset
operation is required for the safety output to turn on when
controlled only by safety input devices configured for Automatic
Reset. When Automatic Reset is selected, the input device may be
said to be configured to run in Trip mode.
C
Complementary Contacts
Two sets of contacts which are always in opposite states.
Concurrent
The setting that permits an indefinite signal disparity between
channels, without going into a fault condition. A fault condition is
created if the Stop signal changes back to a Run signal before its
allied signal changes to the Stop state. Both signals must change
from the STOP state to the RUN state before the dual-channel
device is considered to be in the RUN state.
Configurable
Describes a control device that has pre-defined and pre-tested
operational parameters that can be selected or enabled, in order
to accommodate a variety of control application requirements.
Configuration
A selected set of pre-defined and pre-tested input and output
device properties and logic relationships that define the operating
algorithm that the Safety Controller uses to control hazardous
machine motion.
Confirmation
The two-step process where a new or modified configuration is
sent to a Controller for code validation, and a copy of the
validated code is sent back from the Controller to the PCI for
manual parameter (I/O and System settings) verification.
Defined Area
The "screen of light" generated by a safety light screen system,
defined by the height and the safety distance (minimum distance)
of the emitter and receiver. When the defined area is interrupted
by an opaque object of a specified cross section, a Trip or Latch
condition results.
Designated Person
A person or persons identified and designated in writing, by the
employer, as being appropriately trained and qualified to perform
a specified checkout procedure.
Emitter
The light-emitting component of a safety light screen system,
consisting of a row of synchronized modulated LEDs. The emitter,
together with the receiver (placed opposite), creates a "screen of
light" called the defined area.
Enable a Mute Time Limit
As soon as a mute sensor is mapped to a safety input device, a
default time limit of 30s will show up in the properties window.
This time limit can be disabled by unchecking the ‘Enable Time
Limit’ box. This extends the time for the mutable safety device to
be muted to infinite.
D
Diverse-Redundancy
The practice of using components, circuitry or operation of
different designs, architectures or functions to achieve
redundancy and to reduce the possibility of common mode
failures.
Dual-Channel
Having redundant signal lines for each safety input or safety
output.
E
External Device Monitoring (EDM)
A means by which a safety device (such as a safety light screen)
actively monitors the state (or status) of external devices that
may be controlled by the safety device. A lockout of the safety
device will result if an unsafe state is detected in the external
device. External device(s) may include, but are not limited to:
MPCEs, captive contact relays/contactors, and safety modules.
A failure which delays or prevents a machine safety system from
arresting dangerous machine motion, thereby increasing risk to
personnel.
Final Switching Device (FSD)
The component of the machine’s safety-related control system
that interrupts the circuit to the machine primary control element
(MPCE) when the output signal switching device (OSSD) goes to
the OFF-state.
Hard (Fixed) Guard
Screens, bars, or other mechanical barriers affixed to the frame of
the machine intended to prevent entry by personnel into the
hazardous area(s) of a machine, while allowing the point of
operation to be viewed. The maximum size of the openings is
determined by the applicable standard, such as Table O-10 of
OSHA 29CFR1910.217, also called a "fixed barrier guard."
Harm
Physical injury or damage to the health of people, which may
result through direct interaction with the machine or through
indirect means, as a result of damage to property or to the
environment.

F
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
A testing procedure by which potential failure modes in a system
are analyzed to determine their results or effects on the system.
Component failure modes that produce either no effect or a
Lockout condition are permitted; failures which cause an unsafe
condition (a failure to danger) are not. Banner safety products are
extensively FMEA tested.
H
Hazard Point
The closest reachable point of the hazardous area.
Hazardous Area
An area that poses an immediate or impending physical hazard.
I
Internal Lockout
A Lockout condition that is due to an internal safety system
problem. Generally, indicated by the red Status indicator LED
(only) flashing. Requires the attention of a Qualified Person.
Key Reset (Manual Reset)
A key-operated switch used to reset a safety light screen system
to Run mode following a Lockout condition, or to enable machine
operation following a Latch condition. Also refers to the act of
using the switch.
Latch Condition
The response of the safety light screen safety outputs (for
example, OSSDs) when an object equal to or greater than the
diameter of the specified test piece enters the defined area. In a
Latch condition, safety outputs simultaneously de-energize and
open their contacts. The contacts are held (latched) open until the
object is removed from the defined area and a manual reset is
performed. A latching output is used most often in perimeter
guarding applications. (See Trip Condition.)
Machine Primary Control Element (MPCE)
An electrically powered element, external to the safety system,
which directly controls the machine’s normal operating motion in
such a way that the element is last (in time) to operate when
machine motion is either initiated or arrested.
Machine Response Time
The time between the activation of a machine stopping device and
the instant when the dangerous parts of the machine reach a safe
state by being brought to rest.
Off State
The state in which the output circuit is interrupted and does not
permit the flow of current.
On State
The state in which the output circuit is complete and permits the
flow of current.
K
L
Lockout Condition
A safety light screen condition that is automatically attained in
response to certain failure signals (an internal lockout). When a
Lockout condition occurs, the safety light screen’s safety outputs
turn Off; the failure must be corrected and a manual reset is
required to return the system to Run mode.
M
Minimum Object Sensitivity (MOS)
The minimum-diameter object that a safety light screen system
can reliably detect. Objects of this diameter or greater will be
detected anywhere in the defined area. A smaller object can pass
undetected through the light if it passes exactly midway between
two adjacent light beams. Also known as MODS (Minimum Object
Detection Size). See also Specified Test Piece.
Muting
The automatic suspension of the safeguarding function of a safety
device during a non-hazardous portion of the machine cycle.
O
Open-Closed Debounce Time
The time it takes to bridge a jittery input signal or bouncing of the
input contacts to prevent an unwanted start of the machine.
Adjustable from 10 ms to 500 ms. The default value is 50 ms. A
longer open-closed debounce time will also affect the recovery
time of the Controller.
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
A U.S. Federal agency, Division of the U.S. Department of Labor,
that is responsible for the regulation of workplace safety.
A pass-through hazard is associated with applications where
personnel may pass through a safeguard (which issues a stop
command to remove the hazard), and then continues into the
guarded area, such as in perimeter guarding. Subsequently, their
presence is no longer detected, and the related danger becomes
the unexpected start or restart of the machine while personnel are
within the guarded area.
PELV
Protected extra-low voltage power supply, for circuits with earth
ground. Per IEC 61140: "A PELV system is an electrical system in
which the voltage cannot exceed ELV (25 V ac rms or 60 V ripple
free dc) under normal conditions, and under single-fault
conditions, except earth faults in other circuits."
Qualified Person
A person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate
of professional training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training
and experience, has successfully demonstrated the ability to solve
problems relating to the subject matter and work.
Receiver
The light-receiving component of a safety light screen system,
consisting of a row of synchronized phototransistors. The receiver,
together with the emitter (placed opposite), creates a "screen of
light" called the defined area.
Reduced Resolution
A feature that allows a safety light screen system to be configured
to produce an intentionally disabled light beam(s) within the light
screen, which increases the minimum object sensitivity. The
disabled beam(s) appears to move up and down ("float") in order
to allow the feeding of an object through the defined area at any
point without tripping the safety outputs (for example, OSSDs)
and causing a Trip or Latch condition. Sometimes called "Floating
Blanking."
P
Point of Operation
The location of a machine where material or a workpiece is
positioned and a machine function is performed upon it.
PSDI (Presence-Sensing Device Initiation)
An application in which a presence-sensing device is used to
actually start the cycle of a machine. In a typical situation, an
operator manually positions a part in the machine for the
operation. When the operator moves out of the danger area, the
presence sensing device starts the machine (no start switch is
used). The machine cycle runs to completion, and the operator
can then insert a new part and start another cycle. The presence
sensing device continually guards the machine. Single-break
mode is used when the part is automatically ejected after the
machine operation. Double-break mode is used when the part is
both inserted (to begin the operation) and removed (after the
operation) by the operator. PSDI is commonly confused with "Trip
Initiate." PSDI is defined in OSHA CFR1910.217. Banner safety
light screen systems may not be used as PSDI devices on
mechanical power presses, per OSHA regulation 29 CFR
1910.217.
Q
R
Reset
The use of a manually operated switch to restore the safety
outputs to the On state from a lockout or a Latch condition.
Resolution
See Minimum Object Sensitivity
Run Signal
The input signal monitored by the Controller that, when detected,
causes one or more safety outputs to turn On if their other
associated input signals are also in the Run state. In this manual,
either the input device or the device signal is said to be in the Run
state
Safety-Rated Device
A device that is designed to an applicable safety standard and
when properly applied, reduces the level of risk.
Self-Checking (Circuitry)
A circuit with the capability to electronically verify that all of its
own critical circuit components, along with their redundant
backups, are operating properly. Banner safety light screen
systems and safety modules are self-checking.
Separation Distance (Safety Light Screen)
The minimum distance required to allow the machine’s hazardous
motion to stop completely, before a hand (or other object) can
reach the nearest hazard point. Measured from the midpoint of
the defined area to the nearest hazard point. Factors that
influence minimum separation distance include the machine stop
time, the light screen system response time, and the light screen
minimum object detection size.
Simultaneous
The setting that permits a signal disparity between channels
within the input device for a limited time, without going into a
fault condition. If a signal disparity exists for more than 3
seconds, then a fault condition occurs.
Single-Channel
Having only one signal line for a safety input or safety output.
S
Specified Test Piece
An opaque object of sufficient size used to block a light beam to
test the operation of a safety light screen system. When inserted
into any part of the defined area, it will place a system into a Trip
or Latch condition. Banner supplies specified test pieces with each
system. See also Minimum Object Sensitivity.
Start Up Test
For certain safety devices, like safety light screens or safety
gates, it can be an advantage to test the device on power up at
least one time for proper function. If ‘Start up Test’ has been
selected for a safety light screen and the light screen is clear at
power up, it would be necessary to cycle the light screen one time
(from On to Off and back to On), even if the Controller has been
configured for auto power up.
Supplemental Guarding
Additional safeguarding device(s) or hard guarding, used to
prevent a person from reaching over, under, through or around
the primary safeguard or otherwise accessing the guarded hazard.
Stop Signal
The input signal monitored by the Controller that, when detected,
causes one or more safety outputs to turn Off. In this manual,
either the input device or device signal is said to be in the Stop
state.
System Reset
A configurable reset of one or more safety outputs to turn On
after Controller power-up, when set for manual power-up, or
lockout (fault detection) situations.
An opaque object of sufficient size used to block a light beam to
test the operation of a safety light screen system.
Trip Condition
The response of the safety outputs (for example, OSSDs) of a
safety light screen system when an object equal to or greater
than the diameter of the specified test piece enters the defined
area. In a Trip condition, the OSSDs simultaneously de-energize.
A Trip condition clears (resets) automatically when the object is
removed from the defined area. (See Latch Condition.)
UL (Underwriters Laboratory)
A third-party organization that tests products for compliance with
appropriate standards, electrical codes, and safety codes.
Compliance is indicated by the UL listing mark on the product.

T
Trip Initiate
The resetting of a safeguard causing the initiation of machine
motion or operation. Trip Initiate is not allowed as a means to
initiate a machine cycle per NFPA 79 and ISO 60204-1, and is
commonly confused with PSDI.
