Abstract
A validation device for a machinery safety system including a housing, an electrical processing circuit, at least one switch connected to the housing, at least one indicator, and a quick-connect interface for connecting in series to the machinery safety system. The electrical processing circuit is configured for inducing at least one fault in the machinery safety system, diagnosing the at least one fault, and indicating by the at least one indicator a status of the machinery safety system.
Claims20
A validation device for a machinery safety system, comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrical processing circuit disposed within the housing;
- at least one switch connected to the housing and operably connected to the electrical processing circuit;
- at least one indicator connected to the housing and operably connected to the electrical processing circuit;
- and
- a quick-connect interface connected to the housing and operably connected to the electrical processing circuit, the quick-connect interface is configured for connecting in series to the machinery safety system, and the electrical processing circuit is configured for inducing at least one fault in the machinery safety system, diagnosing the at least one fault, and indicating by the at least one indicator a status of the machinery safety system.
