•
If required, take appropriate EMC screening measures.
The device must be installed in such a way that it cannot be touched by unauthorised persons.
3.2 Restrictions of the application area
The device emits high-frequency electromagnetic waves that are reflected by objects and received
and evaluated by the device. The quality of the received energy depends on various object-specific
parameters (
). Large objects made of metal, for example, are characterised by a high
value
and can be detected very well by the radar sensor. Objects made of plastics have a small
value
and cannot always be reliably detected.
value (metals, stone walls) can negatively influence the measurement result
and eliminate target objects with a lower
value or create false targets.
3.3 Impermissible use
Use that goes beyond the intended use of the device and is outside the technical specification (see
data sheet) is not permitted.
The device does not comply with the applicable safety standards for machinery and is therefore not
approved as a safety component.
u
Do not use the device in hazardous areas.
u
Only use the operating and adjusting devices (accessories) indicated in the operating instructions.
WARNING
The device does not have self-monitoring redundant circuits and is therefore not intended
for operator protection applications. In the event of a defect or device failure, unpredictable
switching behaviour of the output may occur.
w
Death or serious irreversible injuries may result.
u
Do not use this device for operator protection.
WARNING
Any impermissible use can lead to dangerous situations.
w
Death or serious irreversible injuries may result.
u
Use the device only in accordance with the “Intended use”.
u
Comply with the indications in the operating instructions.
u
