device

- Use of the device in environments or conditions for which it is

not suited

- Use of the device with an unsuitable power supply and / or in

conjunction with unsuitable peripheral equipment

- Use of the device for any purpose other than that for which it

is intended

- Damage caused by electrostatic discharge or lightning.

DANGER

Risk of fatal injury through exposure to dangerously high voltage

Such risks may occur in the following circumstances:
Use of the device with an unsuitable power supply and / or in

conjunction with unsuitable peripheral equipment

- Damage caused by electrostatic discharge or lightning
- Do not run sensor lines in the vicinity of high-voltage power

cables.

- Before you touch any sensor lines, ensure that all static elec-

tricity has been discharged.
