The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of measurement technology. Before starting up the transducer in a
system, a project planning and risk analysis must first be implemented, taking
into account all the safety aspects of measurement and automation technology
so that residual risks are minimized. This particularly concerns personal and
machine protection. The transducers function passively and cannot implement
any (safety-relevant) cutoffs. In the event of a fault, the relevant precautions
must establish safe operating conditions.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is failsafe. The
transducer may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed or
operated.
