Information that applies generally to all Axia80 sensors is in the following section. For more information specific
to the communication protocol of the sensor, such as sampling rate, LEDs, operation commands, refer to the
applicable manual in
4.1 Sensor Environment
CAUTION:
Damage to the outer jacketing of the sensor cable could enable moisture
or water to enter an otherwise sealed sensor. Ensure the cable jacketing has not
deteriorated to prevent sensor damage.
NOTICE:
Sensors may react to exceptionally strong and changing electromagnetic fields, such
as those fields created by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines.
The user must ensure that the dust and water in the environment does not exceed the IP64 rating of the
sensor.
Ingress protection rating “64” designates protection against dust and splashing of water. An IP64 rating does not
guarantee protection when a user submerges a device in water or any type of fluid.
While the Axia80 sensor is IP64
rated, keep debris and dust from accumulating on or in the sensor.
