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
technical 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
systems, protective devices etc. are required. In the event of trouble,
shut down the sensor and protect it against accidental operation.

3. Connect the sensors very carefully and pay attention to the
polarity of connections and power supply.
4. Use only approved power supplies.
5. Ensure the sensor is operating within the defined limits for supply
voltage, environmental conditions, etc..
6. Check the function of the sensors regularly and provide
documentation of the checks.
