EZ-SCREEN Point
Instruction Manual
Overview
1.3 Control Reliability
In addition to physical location requirements, safety standards 
require a safety system such as the EZ-SCREEN Point to 
fulfill some internal requirements. For example, for an optical 
safety system to be used in a Safety Category 4 application
(per EN954-1), it must be third-party certified to the type 4 
requirements of IEC 61496-1 and -2.
EZ-SCREEN Point’s microprocessor-based circuitry features 
a “diverse-redundant” design, in which two microprocessors 
of different design, running from different instruction sets, 
constantly check all system components, including each other. 
In addition, EZ-SCREEN Point is extensively FMEA(Failure 
Mode and Effects Analysis) tested to establish an extremely 
high probability that no system component will ever (even if it
does fail) cause a failure to danger.

1.4 EZ-SCREEN Point Operating Features
The Banner EZ-SCREEN Point System features several 
selectable functions: trip or latch output, external device 
monitoring (EDM), and scan code setting. These settings are 
configured within the sensors, behind the threaded access 
port on the front of each sensor and in the sensor wiring 
configuration; see Section 4.1 for more information.
Selectable Trip/Latch Output
The setting for latch or trip output also determines whether the 
System will enter Run mode automatically or require a manual 
reset (see Section 4.1). If the system is set for trip output, other 
measures must be taken to prevent a pass-through hazard; see 
Section 3.3.3 for more information.
