2.2 Forseeable misuse
2.3 Installation, commissioning and operation
The position sensors must be used only in technically safe condition.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, installation,
connection and service work may be performed only by qualified tech-
nical personnel.
If danger of injury to persons or of damage to operating equipment
is caused by sensor failure or malfunction, additional safety measures
such as plausibility checks, limit switches, EMERGENCY STOP sys-
tems, protective devices etc. are required. In the event of trouble,
shut down the sensor and protect it against accidental operation.
Safety instructions for commissioning
To maintain the sensor operability, it is mandatory to follow the in-
structions given below.
1. Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during installation
and operation.
2. Do not open or dismantle the sensor.
3. Connect the sensor very carefully and pay attention to the polarity
of connections and power supply.
4. Use only approved power supplies.
5. It is indispensable to ensure that the specified permissible limit
values of the sensor for supply voltage, environmental conditions,
etc. are met.
6. Check the function of the sensor regularly and provide documenta-
tion of the checks.
7. Before system switch-on, ensure that nobody’s safety is jeopar-
dized by starting machines.
2.4 Safety instructions for use in explosion-hazardous areas
The sensor is not suitable for operation in explosion-hazarded areas.
