## Overview 

The GM-FA-10J Gate Monitor Safety Module (the “Safety Module”) is used to verify the proper operation of coded magnetic safety switches and positive-opening safety switches by monitoring a normally open (N.O.) and a normally closed (N.C.) contact from each switch. It can also be used to monitor and verify the correct state of two redundant current-sourcing PNP signals. (One PNP source must be Normally OFF and the other Normally Conducting for each input channel.) In a typical application, two safety switches (individually mounted) indicate the open or closed status of a gate, moveable guard, or barrier (all called “guards” throughout this document). 

Two functions of the Safety Module are: 

1. To monitor the contacts and wiring of safety switches for certain failures and to prevent the machine from restarting if the switch or the Module fails, and 

2. To provide a reset routine after closing the guard and returning the inputs to their “closed” condition. This reset function may be required by machine safety standards. 

The Safety Module monitors each switch for complementary switching; each channel must have one open (OFF) input and one closed (conducting) input at all times . These inputs must always be in opposite states and must switch state within 1 second of each other. Channel 1 has a “guard closed” condition when S11/S13 is closed and S11/S12 is open. Similarly, Channel 2 has a “guard closed” condition when S21/S23 is closed and S21/S22 is open (see "Figure: Wiring to two 4-wire coded magnetic safety switches. Configured for single-channel monitoring of either one or two guards (jumper S11/S13 or S21/S23 for single-channel), this application is considered to meet or exceed requirements for Control Reliability and Safety Categories 3 and 4 per EN ISO 13849-1. " on page 5 and "Figure: Wiring to two positive-opening safety interlock switches. Configured for dual-channel monitoring of one guard, this application is considered to meet or exceed requirements for Control Reliability and Safety Categories 3 and 4 per EN ISO 13849-1. " on page 5). The Safety Module also will detect and properly respond to a short circuit between the channels and a short circuit to other sources of power. The Safety Module will open the safety outputs within 35 milliseconds of the switching of either channel when the guard opens. 

When the guard closes, debounce logic in the Safety Module’s inputs increases the reliability and repeatability of successfully resetting the Safety Module and reduces the necessity of recycling the guard. This feature can result in increased efficiency of the machine, even if the guard is misaligned or vibration is present.

## Safety Circuit Integrity and EN ISO 13849-1 Safety Circuit Principles 

Safety circuits involve the safety-related functions of a machine that minimize the level of risk of harm. These safety-related functions can prevent initiation, or they can stop or remove a hazard. The failure of a safety-related function or its associated safety circuit usually results in an increased risk of harm. 

The integrity of a safety circuit depends on several factors, including fault tolerance, risk reduction, reliable and well-tried components, well-tried safety principles, and other design considerations.

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

Depending on the level of risk associated with the machine or its operation, an appropriate level of safety circuit integrity (performance) must be incorporated into its design. Standards that detail safety performance levels include ANSI B11.19 Performance Criteria for Safeguarding and EN ISO 13849-1 Safety-Related Parts of a Control System. 

## Safety Circuit Integrity Levels 

Safety circuits in International and European standards have been segmented into categories, depending on their ability to maintain their integrity in the event of a failure. The most recognized standard that details safety circuit integrity levels is EN ISO 13849-1, which establishes five levels: Categories B, 1, 2, 3, and the most stringent, Category 4. 

In the United States, the typical level of safety circuit integrity has been called control reliability. Control reliability typically incorporates redundant control and self-checking circuitry and has been loosely equated to EN ISO 13849-1 Categories 3 and 4 (see CSA Z432 and ANSI B11.TR4). 

If the requirements described by EN ISO 13849-1 are to be implemented, a risk assessment must first be performed to determine the appropriate category, in order to ensure that the expected risk reduction is achieved. This risk assessment must also take into account national regulations, such as U.S. control reliability or European “C” level standards, to ensure that the minimum level of performance that has been mandated is complied with. 

## Fault Exclusion 

An important concept within the category requirements of EN ISO 13849-1 is the probability of the occurrence of the failure, which can be decreased using the "fault exclusion" method. This method assumes that the possibility of certain well-defined failure(s) can be reduced to a point where the resulting fault(s) can be disregarded. 

Fault exclusion is a tool a designer can use during the development of the safety-related part of the control system and the risk assessment process. It allows the designer to eliminate the possibility of various failures and justify it through the risk assessment process to meet the requirements of Categories 2, 3, or 4. See EN ISO 13849-1/-2 for further information. 

## Configuration 

The Safety Module may be configured via DIP switches for dual-channel (redundant switches on a single guard), or single-channel operation (individual switches on two guards). In dual-channel operation, each channel (S11/S12/S13 and S21/S22/S23) must switch within 3-second simultaneity of the other when the guard closes. If not, the guard must be re-opened and closed until the timing requirement is met. When the guard opens, the two channels operate concurrently (both channels must switch but without the timing requirement).

• Incorrect system installation could result in serious injury or death. • The installation of the Safety Module must prevent any individual from reaching around, under, over or through the defined area and into the hazard without being detected. 

• See OSHA CFR 1910.217, ANSI B11.19, and/or ISO 14119, ISO 14120 and ISO 13857 for information on determining safety distances and safe opening sizes for your guarding device. Mechanical barriers (for example, hard (fixed) guarding) or supplemental safeguarding might be required to comply with these requirements. 

## WARNING: 

• Determine the safety category • The design and installation of the safety devices and the means of interfacing of those devices could greatly affect the level of safety circuit integrity. • Perform a risk assessment to determine the appropriate safety circuit integrity level or safety category, as described by ISO 13849-1, to ensure that the expected risk reduction is achieved and that all applicable regulations and standards are met. 

## Safety Interlock Switch Requirements 

The following general requirements and considerations apply to the installation of interlocked guards and gates for the purpose of safeguarding. In addition, the user must refer to the relevant regulations to ensure compliance with all necessary requirements. 

Hazards guarded by the interlocked guard must be prevented from operating until the guard is closed; a stop command must be issued to the guarded machine if the guard opens while the hazard is present. Closing the guard must not, by itself, initiate hazardous motion; a separate procedure must be required to initiate the motion. The safety interlock switches must not be used as a mechanical or end-of-travel stop. 

The guard must be located an adequate distance from the danger zone (so that the hazard has time to stop before the guard is opened sufficiently to provide access to the hazard), and it must open either laterally or away from the hazard, not into the safeguarded area. The guard also should not be able to close by itself and activate the interlocking circuitry. In addition, the installation must prevent personnel from reaching over, under, around, or through the guard to the hazard. Any openings in the guard must not allow access to the hazard (see OSHA 29CFR1910.217 Table O-10, ANSI B11.19, ISO 13857, EN ISO14120 or the appropriate standard). The guard must be strong enough to contain hazards within the guarded area, which may be ejected, dropped, or emitted by the machine. 

The safety interlock switches, actuators, sensors, and magnets must be designed and installed so that they cannot be easily defeated. They must be mounted securely so that their physical position cannot shift, using reliable fasteners that require a tool to remove them. Mounting slots in the housings are for initial adjustment only; final mounting holes must be used for permanent location. 

WARNING: If the application could result in a pass-through hazard (for example, perimeter guarding), either the safeguarding device or the guarded machine's MSCs/MPCEs must cause a Latched response following a Stop command (for example, interruption of the sensing field of a light curtain, or opening of an interlocked gate/guard). 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. The switch must be positioned as described in this document.

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

WARNING: 

- Perimeter guarding applications 

- Failure to observe this warning could result in serious injury or death. 

- Use lockout/tagout procedures per ANSI Z244.1, or use additional safeguarding as described by ANSI B11.19 safety requirements or other applicable standards if a passthrough hazard cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level of risk. 

## Coded Magnetic Safety Switches 

Similar to positive-opening safety switches, coded magnetic switches used with the Safety Module must provide one normally closed contact and one normally open contact (typically a four-wire switch). The sensor and its magnet must be mounted a minimum distance of 15 mm (0.6 inches) from any magnetized or ferrous materials for proper operation. If either the sensor or magnet is mounted on a material that can be magnetized (a ferrous metal, such as iron), the switching distance will be affected. Although the sensor and magnet are coded to minimize the possibility of false actuation, they should not be used within known fields of high-level electromagnetic radiation. 

Depending on the model of sensor and magnet used, the installation must be designed to provide the correct direction of approach. The speed of approach must be fast enough to meet the simultaneity-monitoring period of 1.0 second, approximately equal to or greater than 0.1 m (4 inches) per second. If the simultaneity requirement is not met, the Safety Module can not be reset and will not close its safety output contacts. 

## Positive-Opening Interlocking Switches 

Safety interlock switches used with the Safety Module must satisfy several requirements. Each switch must provide electrically isolated contacts: at minimum, one normally closed (N.C.) contact or normally conducting source and one normally open (N.O.) contact or normally OFF source to interface with the Module. 

The contacts must be of “positive-opening” design, with one or more normally closed contacts rated for safety. Positive-opening operation causes the switch to be forced open, without the use of springs, when the switch actuator is disengaged or moved from its home position (see the Banner Catalog for examples). In addition, the switches must be mounted in a “positive mode,” to move/disengage the actuator from its home position and open the normally closed contact, when the guard opens. 

## Switch Wiring for Typical Applications 

Requirements vary widely for the level of control reliability or safety category (per EN ISO 13849) in the application of interlocked guards. Although Banner Engineering always recommends the highest level of safety in any application, it is the user's responsibility to safely install, operate, and maintain each safety system and comply with all relevant laws and regulations. The applications shown in "Figure: Wiring to two 4-wire coded magnetic safety switches. Configured for single-channel monitoring of either one or two guards (jumper S11/S13 or S21/S23 for single-channel), this application is considered to meet or exceed requirements for Control Reliability and Safety Categories 3 and 4 per EN ISO 13849-1. " on page 5 through "Figure: Wiring to two complementary current-sourcing PNP devices. Configured for either single-channel or dual-channel monitoring, the level of safety (Control Reliability or Safety Categories) is dependent on the devices connected to the GM-FA-10J." on page 4 meet or exceed the requirements for control reliability and Safety Category 3 or 4, per EN ISO 13849. 

## Mechanical Installation 

The Safety Module must be installed inside an enclosure. 

It is not designed for exposed wiring. It is the user’s responsibility to house the Safety Module in an enclosure with NEMA 3 (IEC IP54) rating, or better. The Safety Module mounts directly to standard 35 mm DIN rail. 

Heat Dissipation Considerations: For reliable operation, ensure that the operating specifications are not exceeded. The enclosure must provide adequate heat dissipation so that the air closely surrounding the Safety Module does not exceed the maximum operating temperature stated in the Specifications. Methods to reduce heat build-up include venting, forced airflow (for example, exhaust fans), adequate enclosure exterior surface area, and spacing between modules and other heat sources. 

## Electrical Installation 

Each Safety Module is powered by 24 V AC/DC (at less than 150 mA). The Safety Module, in turn, supplies power to each switch. 

It is not possible to give exact wiring instructions for a Safety Module that interfaces to a multitude of machine control configurations. The following guidelines are general in nature. 

The Safety Module has no delay function. Its output relay contacts open within 35 milliseconds after a safety input opens. This classifies the Safety Module as a functional stop "Category 0" control, as defined by NFPA 79 and IEC/EN 60204-1. 

## WARNING: 

- Risk of electric shock 

- Use extreme caution to avoid electrical shock. Serious injury or death could result. 

- Always disconnect power from the safety system (for example, device, module, interfacing, etc.), guarded machine, and/or the machine being controlled before making any connections or replacing any component. Lockout/tagout procedures might be required. Refer to OSHA 29CFR1910.147, ANSI Z244-1, or the applicable standard for controlling hazardous energy. 

- Make no more connections to the device or system than are described in this manual. Electrical installation and wiring must be made by a Qualified Person[(1)] and must comply with the applicable electrical standards and wiring codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 79, or IEC 60204-1, and all applicable local standards and codes. 

## Connecting Power to the Safety Module 

The Safety Module requires a 24 V AC/DC supply voltage (see "GM-FA-10J Specifications" on page 10). Use extreme caution when installing AC power. Use a minimum of 16 AWG to 18 AWG wire for power and output connections. Use a minimum of 20 AWG wire for all other terminal connections. A hand-operated supply disconnect and over-current protection (for example, a circuit breaker) must be provided per ANSI NFPA79 and IEC/EN60204-1. 

## Monitoring Series-Connected Safety Switches 

When monitoring two individually mounted safety switches (as shown in "Figure: Wiring to two 4-wire coded magnetic safety switches. Configured for single-channel monitoring of either one or two guards (jumper S11/S13 or S21/S23 for single-channel), this application is considered to meet or exceed requirements for Control Reliability and Safety Categories 3 and 4 per EN ISO 13849-1. " on page 5 through "Figure: Wiring to two complementary current-sourcing PNP devices. Configured for either single-channel or dual-channel monitoring, the level of safety (Control Reliability or Safety Categories) is dependent on the devices connected to the GM-FA-10J." on page 4), a faulty switch will be detected if it fails to switch as the guard opens. In this case, the Gate Monitor Module will de-energize its output relays and disable its reset function until the input requirements are met (i.e., the faulty switch is replaced). However, when a series of interlocking safety switches is monitored by a single Safety Module, the failure of one switch in the system may be masked or not detected at all (refer to "Figure: Alternate wiring for single-channel monitoring of multiple guards" on page 5 and "Figure: Alternate wiring for dual-channel monitoring of multiple guards" on page 6). 

Series-connected interlock switch circuits do not meet EN ISO 13849 Safety Category 4 and may not meet Control Reliability requirements because of the potential for an inappropriate Gate Monitor reset or a potential loss of the safety stop signal. A multiple connection of this type should not be used in applications where loss of the safety stop signal or an inappropriate reset can lead potentially to serious injury or death. The following two scenarios assume two positive-opening safety switches on each guard: 

1. Masking of a failure . If a guard is opened but a switch fails to open, the redundant safety switch will open and cause the Safety Module to de-energize its outputs. If the faulty guard is then closed, both Safety Module input channels also close, but because one channel did not open, the Safety Module will not reset. However, if the faulty switch is not replaced and a second “good” guard is cycled (opening and then closing both of the Module’s input channels), the Module considers the failure to be corrected. With the input

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

requirements apparently satisfied, the Module allows a reset. This system is no longer redundant and, if the second switch fails, may result in an unsafe condition (i.e., the accumulation of faults results in the loss of the safety function). 

2. Non-detection of a failure . If a good guard is opened, the Safety Module de-energizes its outputs (a normal response). But if a faulty guard is then opened and closed before the good guard is re-closed, the failure on the faulty guard is not detected. This system is no longer redundant and may result in a loss of safety if the second safety switch fails to switch when needed. 

The systems in either scenario do not inherently comply with the safety standard requirements of detecting single faults and preventing the next cycle. In multiple-guard systems using series-connected safety switches, it is important to periodically check the functional integrity of each interlocked guard individually. Operators, maintenance personnel, and others associated with the operation of the machine must be trained to recognize such failures and be instructed to correct them immediately. 

Open and close each guard separately while verifying that the Gate Monitor outputs operate correctly throughout the check procedure. Follow each gate closure with a manual reset, if needed. If a contact set fails, the Safety Module will not enable its reset function. If the Safety Module does not reset, a switch may have failed; that switch must be immediately replaced. 

This check must be performed and all faults must be cleared, at a minimum, during periodic checkouts. If the application can not exclude these types of failures and such a failure could result in serious injury or death, then the series connection of safety switches must not be used. 

## WARNING: 

- Connect two or more devices to the same safety module (controller) in series 

- Connecting devices in parallel defeats the switch contact monitoring ability of the module and creates an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death. 

- Failure to test each device individually in this manner could result in undetected faults and create an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death. 

- Connect the contacts of the corresponding pole of each switch in series. Never connect the contacts of multiple switches in parallel. Individually actuate (engage) each device, then release (or re-arm) and reset the safety module. This allows the module to check each switch and its wiring to detect faults. Perform this check during the prescribed checkouts. 

## Connecting to the Guarded Machine 

The machine interface wiring diagram shows a generic connection of the Module’s two redundant output circuits to machine primary control elements MPCE1 and MPCE2. A machine primary control element is an electrically powered device, external to the Module, which stops the guarded machinery by immediately removing electrical power to the machine and (when necessary) by applying braking to dangerous motion. The stop is accomplished by removing power to the actuator coil of either MPCE. 

To satisfy the Safety Category 4 requirements of EN ISO 13849, each MPCE must offer a normally closed, forced-guided monitor contact. One normally closed monitor contact from each MPCE is wired in series to the Y1-Y2 feedback/reset input (see "Figure: Wiring to the guarded machine" on page 6). In operation, if one of the switching contacts of either MPCE fails in the shorted condition, the associated monitor contact will remain open, preventing the reset of the Module. 

## External Device Monitoring 

To satisfy the requirements of Control Reliability (OSHA and ANSI) and Category 3 and 4 of EN ISO 13849-1, the machine primary control elements (MPCEs) must each offer a normally closed, forced-guided (mechanically linked) monitor contact. Connect one normally closed monitor contact from each master stop control element in series to Y1 and Y2 (see Key definition for "ElectricalInstallation" not found in the DITA map.). 

In operation, if one of the switching contacts of either MPCE fails in the energized condition, the associated monitor contact will remain open. Therefore, it will not be possible to reset the Safety Module. If no MPCE-monitor contacts are monitored, a jumper must be installed between terminals Y1 and Y2 (dotted line), as shown in the hookup drawings. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that any single failure will not result in a hazardous condition and will prevent a successive machine cycle. 

## Connecting Safety Switches 

Wiring to two complementary current-sourcing PNP devices. Configured for either single-channel or dual-channel monitoring, the level of safety (Control Reliability or Safety Categories) is dependent on the devices connected to the GM-FA-10J.

Configured for dual-channel monitoring of multiple guards with two safety switches mounted individually on each guard (see Warning). 

The number of mechanical switches is limited by the max. resistance of 270 ohm between S11/S13, S11/S12, S21/S22 and S21/S23. The total resistance is calculated by adding the resistance of all guard switch contacts and the resistance of the cables that connect the switches and the switches to the module. 

WARNING: Interfacing MPCEs. NEVER wire an intermediate device(s) (e.g., PLC, PES, PC), between the Safety Module outputs and the machine primary control element (MPCE) it switches, in such a manner that in the event of a failure 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. Whenever forced-guided, mechanically linked relays are added as intermediate switching devices, a normally closed forced-guided monitor contact from each relay must be added to the series feedback loop between Safety Module terminals Y1 and Y2. 

## Overvoltage Category II and III Installations (EN 50178 and IEC 60664-1) 

The Safety Module is rated for Overvoltage Category III when voltages of 1 V to 150 V AC/DC are applied to the output relay contacts. It is rated for Overvoltage Category II when voltages of 151 V to 250 V AC/DC are applied to the output relay contacts and no additional precautions are taken to attenuate possible overvoltage situations in the supply voltage. The Safety Module can be used in an Overvoltage Category III environment (with voltages of 151 V to 250 V AC/DC) if care is taken either to reduce the level of electrical disturbances seen by the Safety Module to Overvoltage Category II levels by installing surge suppressor devices (for example, arc suppressors), or to install extra external insulation in order to isolate both the Safety Module and the user from the higher voltage levels of a Category III environment. 

For Overvoltage Category III installations with applied voltages from 151 V to 250 V AC/DC applied to the output contact(s): the Safety Module may be used under the conditions of a higher overvoltage category where appropriate overvoltage reduction is provided. Appropriate methods include: 

- An overvoltage protective device 

- A transformer with isolated windings

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

- A distribution system with multiple branch circuits (capable of diverting energy of surges) 

- A capacitance capable of absorbing energy of surges 

- A resistance or similar damping device capable of dissipating the energy of surges 

When switching inductive AC loads, it is good practice to protect the Safety Module outputs by installing appropriately-sized arc suppressors. However, if arc suppressors are used, they must be installed across the load being switched (for example, across the coils of external safety relays), and never across the Safety Module’s output contacts. 

## Configuration 

- WARNING: • Reset routine required • Failure to prevent the machine from restarting without actuating the normal start command/device can create an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death. • Do not allow the machine to restart without actuating the normal start command/device. Perform the reset routine after clearing the cause of a stop condition, as required by U.S. and international standards. 

## WARNING: 

- Install reset switches properly 

- Failure to properly install reset switches could result in serious injury or death. 

- Install reset switches so that they are accessible only from outside, and in full view of, the safeguarded space. Reset switches cannot be accessible from within the safeguarded space. Protect reset switches against unauthorized or inadvertent operation (for example, through the use of rings or guards). If there are any hazardous areas that are not visible from the reset switches, provide additional safeguarding.

Removal of terminal blocks<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


To remove a terminal block, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver into the slot at the center of the block as shown (may be covered by label). As typically mounted on a DIN rail, to remove the top block, rotate the screwdriver downwards (towards the module) and pry to loosen. The terminal block will slide outwards (towards you) as it loosens. To remove the lower block, rotate the screwdriver upwards (towards the module) and pry to loosen. 

When reinserting the block, take care to slide the dovetail on the terminal block into the slot on the frame. 

Manual Reset and Reset Switch Connection 

DIP switch configuration settings for reset mode and single- or dual-channel operation 

The reset switch must be capable of reliably switching 15 to 30 V DC at 5 to 50 mA. As shown in "Figure: Wiring to the guarded machine" on page 6, the reset switch connects between terminals Y1 and Y2 of the Module. The reset switch must be located outside of – and not accessible from – the area of dangerous motion, and it must be positioned so the switch operator can see all areas of dangerous motion during the reset procedure (see Warning). 

To configure the Module for Manual Reset, set switches S1.2 and S2.2 in banks A and B to OFF (away from the board). The reset switch may be any mechanical normally open switch, but should be a momentary switch or a two-position keyed switch. To reset the Module, both guards must be closed, at which time the output LED will flash (signaling that the reset switch must be cycled). This action is a monitored manual reset (open-closed-open), where the “closed” phase is approximately 0.25 to 2 seconds long.

## Automatic Reset Mode 

To configure the Module for Automatic Reset, set switches S1.2 and S2.2 in Banks A and B to ON. If no MPCE contacts are monitored, install a jumper between terminals Y1 and Y2 (see "Figure: Wiring to the guarded machine" on page 6). The Safety Module will reset (and its outputs will energize) as soon as the guards return to their closed position. 

Automatic Reset is useful for some automated processes. However, if Automatic Reset is used, an alternate means must be provided to prevent resumption of hazardous machine motion until an alternate reset procedure is performed. The alternate means must include a Reset switch, located outside the area of dangerous motion, and positioned so that the switch operator can see all areas of dangerous motion during the reset procedure. 

## Single-Channel or Dual-Channel Input 

The Safety Module may be configured for single-channel or dual-channel operation by setting DIP switches S1.1 and S2.1 in Banks A and B. In single-channel operation (S1.1 and S2.1 – ON), the input channels function independently. The two guards can be monitored individually, but both channels must be in the closed position for the Safety Module to be reset. 

05-Nov-25

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

In dual-channel operation ( S1.1 and S2.1 – OFF) the input channels must function together. Both channels must switch within a 3-second simultaneity of the other when the guard closes. If not, the guard must be re-opened and closed until the timing requirement is met. When the guard opens, the channels function concurrently (both must open, but without the timing requirement). 

In either configuration, the “closed” inputs of each channel must be closed before the Safety Module can be reset (continuity S11 to S13 and S21 to S23). If in single-channel mode and monitoring only one switch, a jumper must be installed at the unused input (e.g., S21 to S23; see "Figure: Wiring to two 4-wire coded magnetic safety switches. Configured for singlechannel monitoring of either one or two guards (jumper S11/S13 or S21/S23 for single-channel), this application is considered to meet or exceed requirements for Control Reliability and Safety Categories 3 and 4 per EN ISO 13849-1. " on page 5). 

## Troubleshooting 

## Initial Checkout Procedure 

- CAUTION: • Disconnect power prior to checkout • Dangerous voltages might be present along the module wiring barriers whenever power to the machine control elements is on. 

- Before performing the initial checkout procedure, disconnect all power from the machine to be controlled. Exercise extreme caution whenever machine control power is or might be present. Always disconnect power to the machine control elements before opening the enclosure housing of the module. 

WARNING: 

   - Test multiple safety devices individually 

   - Failure to test each safety device individually could result in undetected faults and create an unsafe condition that could result in serious injury or death. 

   - • When two or more safety devices are used, individually actuate each device, causing a stop or open-contact condition, then reset/rearm the safety module (if using manual reset mode). This allows the monitoring circuits to check each device and its wiring to detect faults. 

1. Remove power from the machine primary control elements (MPCEs). 

2. Close all monitored guards. If the Module is wired to single-channel input, the second input (S21/S23 or S11/S13) must be jumpered if unused. 

3. Apply input power (only) to the Gate Monitor Module at terminals A1 and A2 (see "Figure: Wiring to the guarded machine" on page 6). The following LEDs should come ON: Power, Input 1, Input 2 

If the Power LED comes ON, but either or both Input LEDs are not ON, disconnect input power and check the wiring of the connected switch(es) and/or the jumper. Check if the jumper is installed correctly on the unused input. Return to step 2 after the cause of the problem has been corrected. 

4. Step 4 varies, depending on how the module is configured.

5. Repeat step 4 individually for each guard that is being monitored. 

6. Close the guard. Apply power to the machine control elements and perform the "Periodic Checks" on page 8. 

NOTE: Make sure that both Input 1 and 2 LEDs are ON only when ALL connected guards are closed. If the guards are closed and the Input LEDs are OFF, the guard switches may be wired incorrectly, which could reset the Module inappropriately (safety output contacts close as soon as one of the connected guards opens). 

Do not continue operation until all checks are completed and all problems are corrected. See Do Not Use Machine Until System is Working Properly warning, and "Repairs" on page 12 and "Troubleshooting" on page 9 for further information. 

## Periodic Checks 

Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the periodic checks as described, 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. 

## WARNING: 

- Do not use the system until the checkouts are verified 

- Attempts to use the guarded/controlled machine before these checks are verified could result in serious injury or death. 

- If all these checks cannot be verified, do not attempt to use the safety system that includes the Banner Engineering Corp. device and the guarded/controlled machine until the defect or problem has been corrected. 

A Designated Person is identified in writing by the employer as being appropriately trained to perform a specified checkout procedure. A Qualified Person possesses a recognized degree or certificate or has extensive knowledge, training, and experience to be able to solve problems relating to safety switch installation. 

At each shift change or machine setup, a Designated Person should perform the following checks on all safety switches: 

1. Verify the switch, sensor, actuator, or magnet are not broken or damaged. 

2. Check for good alignment between the switch and actuator or sensor and magnet. 

3. Confirm the switches are not being used as an end-of-travel stop.

GM-FA-10J Gate Monitoring Safety Module 

4. Correct any loosened mounting hardware. 

- Verify it is not possible to reach any hazard point through an opened guard (or any opening) before hazardous machine motion stops completely. 

5. 

6. Open and close each guard separately while verifying that the Gate Monitor outputs operate correctly throughout the check procedure. Follow each gate closure with a manual reset, if needed. If a contact set fails, the Safety Module will not enable its reset function. If the Safety Module does not reset, a switch may have failed; that switch must be immediately replaced. 

7. In addition, a Qualified Person should perform the following on a periodic schedule (determined by the user, based upon the severity of the environment and the frequency of switch actuations): 

   - a. Inspect the electrical wiring for continuity and damage. 

   - b. Confirm that the wiring conforms to the instructions given in this installation manual. 

Do not continue operation until all checks are completed and all problems are corrected. See "Repairs" on page 12 and "Troubleshooting" on page 8 for further information.

The magnet sensors listed have a 3 m (10 ft) cable. To order 9 m (30 ft) cables models, add w/30 to the model number (e.g. SI-MAGB1SM w/30 ). (Older models without the B , are non-UL approved models. These older models do NOT work with SI-MAGB models.) 

A basic SI-MAG system requires an SI-MAG sensor, coded magnet, cable (for QD versions), and a safety monitoring device.
