1.2 Checklists
The checklists (see chapter 9 "Testing") serve as a reference for the machine manufacturer or supplier.
They replace neither testing of the complete machine or system prior to initial commissioning nor their peri-
odic testing by a qualified person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). The checklists contain mini-
mum testing requirements. Depending on the application, other tests may be necessary.

2 Safety
For mounting, operating and testing, this document as well as all applicable national and international stan-
dards, regulations, rules and directives must be observed. Relevant and supplied documents must be ob-
served, printed out and handed to affected persons.
ÄBefore working with the safety sensor, completely read and observe the documents applicable to your
task.
In particular, the following national and international legal regulations apply for the commissioning, techni-
cal inspections and work with safety sensors:
• Directive 2006/42/EC
• Directive 2014/35/EU
• Directive 2014/30/EU
• Directive 89/655/EEC supplemented by directive 95/63EC
• OSHA 1910 Subpart O
• Safety regulations
• Accident-prevention regulations and safety rules
• Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and employment protection act
• Product Safety Law (ProdSG and 9. ProdSV)
NOTICE
For safety-related information you may also contact local authorities (e.g., industrial inspec-
torate, employer's liability insurance association, labor inspectorate, occupational safety and
health authority).
2.1 Intended use and foreseeable misuse
WARNING
A running machine may result in serious injury!
ÄMake certain that the safety sensor is correctly connected and that the protective function of
the protective device is ensured.
ÄMake certain that, during all conversions, maintenance work and inspections, the system is
securely shut down and protected against being restarted.
2.1.1
Intended use
• The safety sensor may only be used after it has been selected in accordance with the respectively ap-
plicable instructions and relevant standards, rules and regulations regarding labor protection and safety
at work, and after it has been installed on the machine, connected, commissioned, and checked by a
competent person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies"). The devices are designed for indoor
use only.
• When selecting the safety sensor it must be ensured that its safety-related capability meets or exceeds
the required performance level PLr ascertained in the risk assessment (see chapter 14.1 "General
specifications").
• The safety sensor protects persons or body parts at points of operation, danger zones or access points
of machines and systems.
• With the access guarding function, the safety sensor detects persons only when they enter the danger
zone but cannot tell whether there are any persons inside the danger zone. For this reason, a start/
restart interlock or a suitable stepping behind protection in the safety chain is essential in this case.
• Maximum permissible approach speeds (see ISO13855):
• 1.6m/s for access guarding
• 2.0m/s for guards of points of operation
• The construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety sensor, the
protective function is no longer guaranteed. Manipulating the safety sensor also voids all warranty
claims against the manufacturer of the safety sensor.
Safety
Leuze electronic MLC 520 Host/Guest 8
• The improper repair of the protective device may result in loss of the protective function. Make no re-
pairs to the device components.
• The safety sensor must be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure proper integration and
mounting (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies").
• The safety sensor must be exchanged after a maximum of 20 years. Repairs or the exchange of wear
parts do not extend the mission time.
2.1.2
Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under the “Approved purpose” or which goes beyond that use is consid-
ered improper use.
In principle, the safety sensor is not suitable as a protective device for use in the following cases:
• Danger posed by ejected objects or the spraying of hot or hazardous liquids from within the danger
zone
• Applications in explosive or easily flammable atmospheres
2.2 Necessary competencies
The safety sensor may only be configured, installed, connected, commissioned, serviced and tested in its
respective application by persons who are suitably qualified for the given task. General prerequisites for
suitably qualified persons:
• They have a suitable technical education.
• They are familiar with the relevant parts of the operating instructions for the safety sensor and the oper-
ating instructions for the machine.
Task-specific minimum requirements for competent persons:
Configuration
Specialist knowledge and experience in the selection and use of protective devices on machines as well as
the application of technical rules and the locally valid regulations on labor protection, safety at work and
safety technology.
Specialist knowledge in programming safety-related controls SRASW acc. to ISO13849-1.
Mounting
Specialist knowledge and experience needed for the safe and correct installation and alignment of the
safety sensor with regard to the respective machine.
Electrical installation
Specialist knowledge and experience needed for the safe and correct electrical connection as well as safe
integration of the safety sensor in the safety-related control system.
Operation and maintenance
Specialist knowledge and experience needed for the regular inspection and cleaning of the safety sensor –
following instruction by the person responsible.
Servicing
Specialist knowledge and experience in the mounting, electrical installation and the operation and mainte-
nance of the safety sensor in accordance with the requirements listed above.
Commissioning and testing
• Experience and specialist knowledge in the rules and regulations of labor protection, safety at work and
safety technology that are necessary for being able to assess the safety of the machine and the use of
the safety sensor, including experience with and knowledge of the measuring equipment necessary for
performing this work.
• In addition, a task related to the subject matter is performed in a timely manner and knowledge is kept
up to date through continuous further training ‑ Competent person in terms of the German Betrieb-
ssicherheitsverordnung (Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health) or other national legal regulations.

2.3 Responsibility for safety
Manufacturer and operator must ensure that the machine and implemented safety sensor function properly
and that all affected persons are adequately informed and trained.
The type and content of all imparted information must not lead to unsafe actions by users.
The manufacturer of the machine is responsible for:
• Safe machine construction and information on any residual risks
• Safe implementation of the safety sensor, verified by the initial test performed by a competent person
(see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies")
• Imparting all relevant information to the operating company
• Adhering to all regulations and directives for the safe commissioning of the machine
The operator of the machine is responsible for:
• Instructing the operator
• Maintaining the safe operation of the machine
• Adhering to all regulations and directives for labor protection and safety at work
• Periodic testing by a competent person (see chapter 2.2 "Necessary competencies")
2.4 Disclaimer
The liability of Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG is to be excluded in the following cases:
• Safety sensor is not used as intended.
• Safety notices are not adhered to.
• Reasonably foreseeable misuse is not taken into account.
• Mounting and electrical connection are not properly performed.
• Proper function is not tested (see chapter 9 "Testing").
• Changes (e.g., constructional) are made to the safety sensor.
