2.2 System Description

Note: This manual refers to an emitter and its receiver, and their cabling, or a cascade of emitters and their
receivers and their cabling as "a System".
Banner EZ-SCREEN LP Basic emitters and receivers provide a redundant, microprocessor-controlled, opposed-mode
optoelectronic "curtain of light", or "safety light screen". EZ-SCREEN LP Basic typically is used for point-of-operation
safeguarding, and is suited to safeguard a variety of machinery.
The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 low-profile housing provides maximum sensing within minimum space; its defined area
(sensing area) is equivalent to the height of the housing. The maximum sensing range is 4 m (13 ft), which decreases if
corner mirrors are used. The sensing area extends from end to end of the housing; there is no “dead zone.” Specialty
brackets allow easy mounting of cascaded sensors, without any loss of resolution between sensor pairs.
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.
Electrical connections (power, ground, inputs, and outputs) are made via unique RD (removable disconnect) cordsets.
All models require a supply voltage of +24 V dc ±15%.
Both the emitter and the receiver feature 7-segment diagnostic displays and individual LEDs to provide continuous
indication of operating status, configuration, and error conditions.
EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is extensively FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) tested to establish an extremely high degree
of confidence that, when appropriately installed, no system component will (even if it should fail) cause a failure to danger.

2.2.1 Components
An EZ-SCREEN LP Basic “System” refers to a compatible emitter and receiver (equal length and resolution; available
separately or in pairs), and cordset(s) for each. Mounting hardware is ordered separately; special-purpose accessory
brackets are also available.

2.2.2 How to Order

1. Choose the model resolution (14 or 25 mm).
2. Choose an Emitter (E), a Receiver (R), or a Pair (P).
3. Choose one RD cordset for each sensor or two RD cordsets for a pair. See Cordsets on page 52.
4. Choose appropriate mounting hardware. See Accessory Mounting Brackets on page 59.

2.3 Appropriate Applications and Limitations

WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
device cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user is responsible for ensuring 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 Persons1, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety
regulations. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
The Banner EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is intended for point-of-operation machine guarding and other safeguarding applications.
It is the user’s responsibility to verify whether the safeguarding is appropriate for the application and is installed, as
instructed by this manual, by a Qualified Person.
The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 LP Basic cannot provide the
protection for which it was designed.
CAUTION: Install System Only on Appropriate Applications

Banner EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is for use only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop
signal is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution clutched machines.
Under no circumstances may the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 LP Basic, contact Banner Engineering.
2.3.1 Appropriate Applications

EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is typically used for, but is not limited to,
the following applications:
• Small assembly equipment
• Automated production equipment
• Robotic work cells
• Molding presses
• Assembly and packaging machines
• Lean manufacturing systems
Figure 3. Typical Application
2.3.2 Examples: Inappropriate Applications

Do not use EZ-SCREEN LP Basic in the following applications:
• With any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (or full-
revolution) 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
1 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.

• 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 OSHA 29CFR1910.217, ANSI/NFPA 79, ANSI
B11.19, ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, IEC 61496-1, or other appropriate standard)
If an EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is installed for use as a perimeter guard (where a pass-through hazard may exist, see Reducing
or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards on page 14), the dangerous machine motion can be initiated by normal means only
after the safeguarded area is clear of individuals and the external monitoring device has been reset.
2.4 Control Reliability: Redundancy and Self-Checking

Redundancy requires that EZ-SCREEN LP Basic circuit components be backed up to the extent that, if the failure of a
single component will prevent effective machine stopping action when needed, that component must have a redundant
counterpart which will perform the same function. The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is designed with redundant microprocessors.
Redundancy must be maintained whenever the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is in operation. Because a redundant system is no
longer redundant after a component has failed, EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is designed to monitor itself continuously. A
component failure detected by or within the self-checking system causes a stop signal to be sent to the guarded machine
and puts the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic into a Lockout condition.
A recovery from this type of Lockout condition requires:
• Replacement of the failed component (to restore redundancy)
• The appropriate reset procedure
The Diagnostic Display is used to diagnose causes of a Lockout condition. See Troubleshooting on page 44.
2.5 Operating Features

The sensing resolution is determined by the emitter and receiver model.
WARNING: Use of Auto (Trip) or Manual (Latch) Start/Restart

Application of power to the Banner device, the clearing of the sensing field, or the reset of a manual
start/restart (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
could result in serious injury or death.
Emitter Wiring Options— An EZ-SCREEN LP Basic emitter can be connected either to its own power supply or to the
receiver cable, color-for-color. The color-for-color wiring allows the emitter and receiver positions to be interchanged
without rewiring.
Status Indicators—Status indicators on both the emitter and receiver are clearly visible on each sensor’s front panel.

3 Mechanical Installation
The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic system performance as a safety guarding device depends on:
• The suitability of the application
• The proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine

3.1 Mechanical Installation Considerations

The two primary factors that influence the layout of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic system mechanical installation are the Safety
Distance (Minimum Distance) and the supplemental safeguarding/eliminating pass-through hazards. Other considerations
include:
• Emitter and Receiver Orientation
• Adjacent Reflective Surfaces
• Use of Corner Mirrors
• Installation of Multiple Systems
WARNING:
• Position the System Components Carefully
• Failure to observe this warning could result in serious injury or death.
• Position the system components such that the hazard cannot be accessed by reaching over,
under, around, or through the sensing field. Additional and supplemental guarding may be
required.
3.2 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 LP Basic 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:
• Calculate the Safety Distance (Minimum Distance)
• Failure to establish and maintain the safety distance (minimum distance) could result in serious
injury or death.
• Mount the components at a distance from the nearest hazard such that an individual cannot
reach the hazard before cessation of the hazardous motion or situation. Calculate this distance
using the supplied formulas, as described by ANSI B11.19 and ISO 13855. Mount the
components more than 100 mm (4 in) away from the hazard, regardless of the calculated value.

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. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in serious 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.

3.3 Reducing or Eliminating Pass-Through Hazards

A pass-through hazard is associated with applications where personnel may pass through a safeguard, such as the EZ-
SCREEN LP Basic Safety Light Screen (which issues a stop command to remove the hazard), and then continues into the
guarded area. This is common in access and perimeter guarding applications. 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 pass-through
hazard can be generated with as little as 75 mm (3 in) between the sensing field 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. The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic
Safety Light Screen provides a configurable Manual Start/Restart (Latch Output) function for these applications.
WARNING: Use of the Banner device for Access or 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 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 follow these instructions
3.4 Supplemental Safeguarding

As described in Mechanical Installation on page 12, the EZ- Hard (fixed) Guarding
SCREEN LP Basic must be properly positioned such that an
individual cannot reach through the defined area and access Opening
the hazard point before the machine has stopped.
Additionally, the hazard cannot be accessible by reaching Hard (fixed)
Area
Guarding
around, under, or over the defined area. To accomplish this, Guarding
supplemental guarding (mechanical barriers, such as
screens or bars), as described by ANSI B11.19 safety Robot
requirements or other appropriate standards, must be
installed. Access will then be possible only through the Conveyor
defined area of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System or Turn-
through other safeguarding that prevents access to the Table
Area
hazard (see Figure 7 on page 15). Guarding
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
Safety Light Curtain/Screen
openings in the hard (fixed) guarding must comply with the
safe opening requirements of ANSI B11.19 or other Reset Switch
appropriate standard.
Figure 7. An example of supplemental safeguarding
Figure 7 on page 15 shows an example of supplemental safeguarding inside a robotic work cell. The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic,
in conjunction with the hard (fixed) guarding, is the primary safeguard. Supplemental safeguarding (such as a horizontal-
mounted safety light screen as an area guard) is required in areas that cannot be viewed from the reset switch (for 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 Sensing Field
The installation of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic must prevent any individual from reaching around, under,
over or through the sensing field 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.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

3.5 Other Considerations
3.5.1 Adjacent Reflective Surfaces
WARNING: Avoid Installation Near Reflective Surfaces

Avoid locating the sensing field near a reflective surface; it could reflect sensing beam(s) around an
object or person within the sensing field, and prevent its detection by the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic. Perform
the trip test, as described in the 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 under Initial Checkout Procedure on page 31) to verify 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
Do not position reflective surfaces

the OSSDs are On. Increasing the size of the test piece to block additional beams causes a blocked condition. The size of
the test piece required to do this determines the actual resolution. Use the table below to calculate Dpf or Factor "C" when
a shiny surface causes an optical short circuit.

3.5.2 Use of Corner Mirrors

EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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:
Table 2: SSM and MSM Series Glass-Surface Mirrors 3 —Maximum Emitter and Receiver Separation
Number of Corner Mirrors Max. Emitter / Receiver Separation Sensor Models
1 3.7 m (12.1 ft)
2 3.4 m (11.2 ft)

14 mm or 25 mm Resolution Models with 4 m (13 ft) Range
3 3.1 m (10.3 ft)
4 2.8 m (9.2 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°. If placed at a sharper angle, an object in the 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:
• Retroreflective Mode Installation
• Failure to follow these instructions may create unreliable sensing and may result in serious injury
or death.
• Do not install emitters and receivers in retroreflective mode with less than a 45° angle of
incidence. Install emitters and receivers at an appropriate angle.

3.5.3 Emitter and Receiver Orientation

The emitter and receiver must be mounted parallel to each other and aligned in a common plane, with both machine
interface cable ends pointing in the same direction. Never mount the emitter with its machine interface 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 LP Basic emitters and receivers must be installed with their corresponding cabled ends
pointing in the same direction (for example, both cabled ends facing down). Failure to orient the EZ-
SCREEN LP Basic emitters and receivers properly will impair the performance of the EZ-SCREEN LP
Basic System and will result in incomplete guarding, which could result in serious injury or death.

3.5.4 Installation of Multiple Systems

Whenever two or more EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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.
When three or more systems are installed in the same plane, 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.

4 Electrical Installation and Testing

The following are the main steps to electrically install the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic components and interface with the guarded
machine.

1. Routing cordsets and making initial electrical connections (see Routing Cordsets on page 30 and Initial Electrical
Connections on page 31).
2. Apply power to each emitter/receiver pair (see Initial Electrical Connections on page 31).
3. Perform an Initial Checkout Procedure (see Initial Checkout Procedure on page 31).
4. Make all electrical interface connections to the guarded machine (see Electrical Connections to the Guarded
Machine on page 35).
5. Perform a commissioning checkout procedure (see Commissioning Checkout on page 38).
4.1 Routing Cordsets

Attach the required cordsets to the sensors, and route the sensor cordsets 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 Accessories on page 52 for selection of Banner supplied cables.
Note: The machine interface cable must connect to the sensor end adjacent to the indicators, in order for
the System to operate properly.
EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 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 LP Basic System. It is good wiring practice, and sometimes 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 cabling and any interconnect wiring should have an insulation temperature rating of at least 90 °C (194 °F).
Installing RD Cordsets:
1. Slide the RD connector firmly into the housing's RD port.

2. Tighten the Phillips screws at the base of the connector to lock
into place.

Note: Emitter and receiver power (current) requirements are accounted for. The above values represent
additional current draw that must be accounted for.
Note: Maximum cordset lengths are intended to ensure that adequate power is available to the EZ-
SCREEN LP Basic when the supply is operating at +20 V dc. Values in the previous table are worse case.

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 LP Basic System than are
described in this manual. Connection of other wiring or equipment to the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System
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 LP Basic 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 RD or pigtail QD connections.
Emitter Cordset
EZ-SCREEN LP Basic emitters have an 8-pin cordset, but not all conductors are used. The other wires are in place
to allow a parallel connection (color-for-color) to the receiver cable, providing sensor interchangeability (or
“swapability”); either sensor may be installed at either cordset connection. In addition to providing similar cabling,
this wiring scheme is advantageous during installation, wiring, and troubleshooting.
Receiver Cordset
Do not connect any wires to the machine control circuits (OSSD outputs) at this time.
4.3 Initial Checkout Procedure

The initial checkout procedure must be performed by a Qualified Person. It must be performed only after configuring the
System and after connecting the components.
Perform this procedure to:
• Ensure proper installation when the System is first installed
• 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 LP Basic 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 standard for controlling hazardous energy). The OSSD connections will be made after the initial checkout
procedure has been 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 Safety/Interface Module is not connected to the OSSD outputs at this time
(permanent connections will be made later)
4.3.2 Initial Power-Up

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 16).
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 LP Basic 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 Reference Wiring Diagrams on page 39).
6. Power up the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 Status indicators, 7-segment displays, and the receiver Zone indicators to
determine the light screen alignment status.
• Lockout Condition—the emitter Status indicator is single-flashing Red; the receiver Status indicator is On
Red, and the 7-segment display reads CH1. For diagnostic information, see Troubleshooting on page 44.
• Receiver Lockout Condition —the receiver Status indicator is single-flashing Red, with Zone and Reset
indicators Off. For diagnostic information, see Troubleshooting on page 44.
• Normal Operating Mode (emitter)—The Status indicator is On Green.
• Clear (Run) Condition (receiver)—The Status indicator is On Green and the Reset indicator is On Yellow. All
Zone indicators are On Green.
• A Blocked Condition (receiver)—The Status indicator is On Red, the yellow Reset indicator is On, one or
more Zone indicator(s) are On Red, identifying the location of the blocked beams, and the number of
blocked beams is displayed. Proceed to Optical Alignment on page 32.
Note: If beam 1 is blocked, Zone indicator 1 is Red and all others are Off. Beam 1 provides the
synchronization signal.
For indicator and display information, see Operating Features on page 10.
4.3.3 Optical Alignment
CAUTION: Ensure that no individuals are exposed to any hazard if the OSSD outputs turn ON when the
emitter and receiver become aligned.
Verify the sensor mounting.

Verify the optimal alignment, adjusting the sensor rotation with the power On:
1. 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.
Straight Edge OFF

C1 or C2
All OFF

2. If the Channel #1 beam is not aligned, the Status and Zone 1 indicators are Red, the Reset indicator is yellow, and
the 7-segment display sequentially indicates CH1. Zone indicators 2–8 are Off.
Amber

ON Red
3. If the Green Status and Yellow Reset indicators are On, go to the next step. If not, rotate each sensor (one at a time)
left and right until the Green Status indicator is On. (As the sensor rotates out of alignment, the Red Status indicator
turns On). As more beams are aligned, the Zone indicators turn from Red to Green and the number of blocked beam
indicators decreases.

4. Optimize alignment and maximize excess gain.

a. Slightly loosen the sensor mounting screws.
b. Rotate one sensor left and right, noting the positions in each arc where the Status indicators turn Red
(Blocked condition); repeat with the other sensor.
c. Center each sensor between those two positions.
d. Tighten the mounting screws, making sure to maintain the positioning as the screws are tightened.

For situations where alignment is difficult, a LAT-1-SS Laser Alignment Tool can be used to assist or confirm
alignment by providing a visible red dot along the sensor’s optical axis.
Note: If at any time the Red Status indicator begins to flash steadily, the System has entered a Lockout
condition. For more information, see Troubleshooting on page 44.

4.3.4 Optical Alignment Procedure with Mirrors

EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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, under Mechanical Installation Considerations on page 12.
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-SS Laser Alignment Tool is very helpful by providing a visible red dot along the optical axis.
See Figure 25 on page 34 and Banner Safety Applications Note SA104 (p/n 57477) for further
information.

4.3.5 Conduct a Trip Test

After optimizing the optical alignment, perform the trip test to verify the detection capability of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic
System.
This test also verifies correct sensor orientation, identifies optical short circuits, and verifies the expected resolution for
applications using reduced resolution. After the installation has passed the trip test, the safety outputs may be connected
and the commissioning checkout may be performed (initial installations only).
1. Select the proper test piece, supplied with the receiver.
Models Test Piece
14 mm Resolution 14 mm (0.55 in) dia. Model STP-13
25 mm Resolution 25 mm (0.98 in) dia. Model STP-16
2. Verify that the System is in Run mode, the Green Status indicator is On (or flashing if reduced resolution is enabled),
all Zone indicators are green, and the amber 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.
Emitter Test Piece
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. For Trip Output
Operation: The Status indicator must turn red and remain red for as long as the test piece remains in the defined
area. If not, the installation has failed the trip test. If all Zone indicators turn green or fail to follow the position of the
test piece while it is within the defined area, the installation has failed the trip test. Check for correct sensor
orientation, reflective surfaces, and unguarded areas created due to the use of Blanking. Do not continue until the
situation is corrected.
WARNING: If the Trip Test Indicates a Problem

If the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 sensing field. Failure to follow these instructions could
4. Remove the test piece from the defined area,
• In trip output operation, the green Status indicator must turn on.
• In latch output operation, the Status indicator will remain red until a manual reset is performed (the amber Reset
indicator will be flashing).
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).

6. If the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System passes all checks during the trip test, go on to Electrical Connections to the
Guarded Machine on page 35.
4.4 Electrical Connections to the Guarded Machine

Verify that power has been removed from the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic and the guarded machine. Make the permanent
electrical connections 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 should already be connected. The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic must also have been aligned and passed the Initial
Checkout, as described in Initial Checkout Procedure on page 31.
The final connections to be made or verified are the OSSD outputs.
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.
4.4.1 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, 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 single channel, 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 LP Basic.
A Banner XS26-2 Safety Controller with XS1ro or XS2ro Relay Expansion Module or Banner UM-FA-xA Universal Safety
Module provides a series connection of redundant contacts that form protective stop circuits for use in either single-channel
or dual-channel control.
Output Signal Switching Devices (OSSDs) and External device monitoring (EDM)
The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is able to detect faults on OSSD1 and OSSD2. These faults include short circuits to +24 V dc
and 0 V, and between OSSD1 and OSSD2.
Both Output Signal Switching Device (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 Machine Primary Control Element(s) (MPCE), resulting in
a non-hazardous condition.
Final Switching Devices (FSDs) typically accomplish this when the OSSDs go to an OFF state.
Refer to the output specifications in the Receiver Specifications and these warnings before making OSSD output
connections and interfacing the SLC4 to the machine.
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.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
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 could result in serious injury or
death.
External device monitoring (EDM) is a function used to monitor the state of the external, positively guided (mechanically
linked) machine control contacts (FSDs and/or MPCEs). The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System does not include the EDM
function. As a result, the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System should be used with an external safety monitoring device that

monitors the status of the two EZ-SCREEN LP Basic OSSDs and is capable of providing the EDM function. Examples of
appropriate external safety monitoring devices include Banner SC26-2 and XS26-2 Safety Controllers, Banner UM-FA-9A
and UM-FA-11A Universal Input Safety Modules, and Safety PLCs.

WARNING:
• The safety light curtain does not have external device monitoring (EDM).
• If EDM is required for the application, it must be implemented in the external control.
4.4.2 Preparing for System Operation

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 LP Basic is ready for testing in combination with the guarded machine.
The operation of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic with the guarded machine must be verified before the combined System and
machine may be put into service. To do this, a Qualified Person must perform the Commissioning Checkout Procedure.
4.4.3 Sensor Interchangeability

The figures and table below illustrate a wiring option that provides sensor interchangeability (or swapability)—the ability to
install either sensor at either QD connection.
The resulting installation provides the ability to swap the emitter and receiver position, similar to a popular feature of Banner
safety light screens. This wiring option provides advantages during installation, wiring, and troubleshooting.
To use this option, connect all emitter wires in parallel (color-for-color) to the receiver cable via individual wires or the CSB..

4.4.4 Commissioning Checkout

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 EZ-SCREEN LP Basic or changes
to the machine).
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 could result in serious injury or death.
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 LP Basic
System. For a list of appropriate and inappropriate applications, see Appropriate Applications and Limitations on
page 9.
2. Verify that the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 Mechanical Installation on page 12.
4. Verify that:
a) Access to any dangerous parts of the guarded machine is not possible from any direction not protected by the
EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System, hard (fixed) guarding, or supplemental safeguarding, and
b) It is not possible for a person to stand between the defined area and the dangerous parts of the machine, or
c) 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 LP Basic.
5. If used, 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 LP Basic 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 35.

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 LP Basic System.
9. Observe the Status indicators and Diagnostic Display:
• Lockout: Status flashing red; all others Off
• Blocked: Status On red; one or more Zone indicators On red; Reset On amber
• Clear: Status On green7; all Zone indicators On green; Reset On amber
10. A Blocked condition indicates that one or more of the beams is misaligned or interrupted. To correct this situation,
see the Optical Alignment procedure under Initial Checkout Procedure on page 31.
11. After the green and amber Status indicators are On, conduct the trip test Conduct a Trip Test on page 34on 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 LP Basic passes the trip test.
Important: Do not expose any individual to any hazard during the following checks.
WARNING: Before Applying Power to the Machine

Verify that the guarded area is clear of personnel and unwanted materials (such as tools) before
applying power to the guarded machine. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious 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 it is not possible for the guarded machine to
be put into motion while the beam(s) is blocked.
14. Initiate machine motion of the guarded machine and, while it is moving, use the supplied test piece to block the
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 LP Basic. 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 LP Basic.
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.
Do not continue operation until the entire checkout procedure is complete and all problems are corrected.
4.5 Reference Wiring Diagrams

Other interfacing modules and solutions are available, see Accessories on page 52 and www.bannerengineering.com.
Note: For interfacing modules or remotely located safety I/O blocks where pin 5 of a 5-pin M12 QD is not
earth ground, a 4-pin cordset where pin 5 is not physically present or is not electrically connected can be
used (such as MQDEC-406SS double-ended cordset). In such situations, earth ground must be provided
via the mounting brackets.

5 System Operation
5.1 Security Protocol
Certain procedures for installing, maintaining, and operating the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 LP Basic. The Designated Person is
empowered to:
• Perform manual resets and hold possession of the reset key
• 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 LP Basic 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 LP Basic System
• Perform all checkout procedures
• Make changes to the internal configuration settings
• Reset the System following a Lockout condition
5.2 Status Indicators

A variety of status indicators are clearly visible on each emitter and receiver face (see Introduction on page 7).
5.2.1 Emitter
A single bi-color Red/Green Status indicator shows whether power is applied, and whether the emitter is in a Run mode or a
Lockout. A Diagnostic Display indicates a specific error code when the emitter is in Lockout; the display also momentarily
indicates the scan code setting at power-up or when changed.

5.3 Normal Operation
5.3.1 System Power-Up

When power is applied, each sensor conducts self-tests to detect critical internal faults, determine configuration settings,
and prepare the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic for operation. If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning ceases, the receiver
outputs remain Off and diagnostic information displays on the sensor’s Diagnostic Display. If no faults are detected, the EZ-
SCREEN LP Basic automatically enters Alignment mode, and the receiver looks for an optical sync pattern from the emitter.
If the receiver is aligned and receives the proper sync pattern, it enters Run mode and begins scanning to determine the
blocked or clear status of each beam. No manual reset operation is required.
5.3.2 Run Mode

If any beams become blocked while the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic is running, the receiver outputs turn Off within the stated EZ-
SCREEN LP Basic response time (see Specifications on page 49). If all the beams then become clear, the receiver outputs
come back On. No resets are needed. All required machine control resets are provided by the machine control circuit.
Internal Faults (Lockouts): If either sensor detects a critical fault, scanning ceases, the receiver outputs turn Off and
diagnostic information displays on the sensor’s Diagnostic Display. For resolution of error/fault conditions, see Lockout
Conditions on page 44.
5.4 Periodic Checkout Requirements

To ensure continued reliable operation, the System must be checked out periodically. Banner Engineering highly
recommends performing the System checkouts as described below. However, a Qualified Person should evaluate these
recommendations, based on the specific application and the results of a machine risk assessment, to determine the
appropriate content and frequency of checkouts.
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 Procedures on page 48). A copy of these test results should be posted
on or near the machine.
Whenever changes are made to the System (either a new configuration of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System or changes to
the machine), perform the Commissioning Checkout.
8 f beam 1 is blocked, Zone indicators 2–8 will be Off, because beam 1 provides the synchronization signal for all the beams.

Note: Verify Proper Operation

The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic can operate as it is designed only if it and the guarded machine are operating
properly, both separately and together. It is the user’s responsibility to verify this, on a regular basis, as
instructed in Checkout Procedures on page 48. Failure to correct such problems can result in an
increased risk of harm.
Before the System is put back into service, verify that the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System and the guarded
machine perform exactly as outlined in the checkout procedures and any problem(s) are found and
corrected.

6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Lockout Conditions
A Lockout condition causes all of the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic OSSD outputs to turn or remain Off, sending a stop signal to
the guarded machine. Each sensor provides diagnostic error codes to assist in the identification of the cause(s) of lockouts
(see Receiver Error Codes and Emitter Error Codes) or the Diagnostic Error Code label supplied in the documentation pack).
In addition, emitters internally monitor the infrared LEDs, and provide a health status indication whenever one of these
components has degraded. The emitter will not lockout in this situation. Rather, the indication is intended to notify the user
that the emitter should be replaced soon.
The following tables indicate a sensor lockout condition:
Table 5: Receiver Lockout Conditions Table 6: Emitter Lockout Conditions
Reset indicator Off Status indicator Flashing Red
Status indicator Flashing Red Diagnostic Display Error code (flashing)
Zone indicators Off
Diagnostic display Error code (flashing)
6.2 Recovery Procedures

To recover from a Lockout condition, all errors must be corrected and power to the device cycled.

6.3 Electrical and Optical Noise

The EZ-SCREEN LP Basic 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 Trip condition. In
extreme electrical noise cases, a Lockout is possible. To minimize the effects of transitory noise, the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic
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 Check for Sources of Electrical Noise

It is 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 LP Basic wiring is low voltage; running these wires alongside power wires, motor/servo wires, or other high-
voltage wiring can inject noise into the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic System. It is good wiring practice (and may be required by
code) to isolate EZ-SCREEN LP Basic wires from high-voltage wires.
1. Use the Banner model BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid to detect electrical transient spikes and surges.
2. Cover the lens of the BT-1 with electrical tape to block optical light from entering the receiver lens.
3. Press the RCV button on the BT-1 and position the Beam Tracker on the wires going to the EZ-SCREEN LP Basic or
any other nearby wires.
4. Install proper transient suppression across the load to reduce the noise.
6.3.2 Check for Sources of Optical Noise

1. Turn off the emitter or completely block the emitter.
2. Press the RCV button on the Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid and move it across the full length of the
receiver’s sensing window to check for light at the receiver.
10 Multiple-digit codes are sequential, followed by a pause.

3. If the BT-1’s indicator lights, check for emitted light from other sources (other safety light screens, grids or points, or
standard photoelectric sensors).

8 Checkout Procedures
This section lists the schedule of checkout procedures and describes where each procedure is documented. Checkouts
must be performed as described. Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the
machine, and/or in a technical file).
Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described below. However, a qualified person
(or team) should evaluate these generic recommendations considering their specific application and determine the
appropriate frequency of checkouts. This will generally be determined by a risk assessment, such as the one contained in
ANSI B11.0. The result of the risk assessment will drive the frequency and content of the periodic checkout procedures and
must be followed.
