In order to use the MS4800 system safely, the precautions listed in this man-
ual indicated by alert symbols and descriptions must be followed. Failure to
follow all precautions and alerts may result in an unsafe use or operation.
The following indications and symbols are used for the application:
!WARNING
This sign indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in minor or moderate injury, or may result in serious injury or death.
Additionally there may be significant property damage.
2 Alert Statements in this manual
2-1 For users
!WARNING
The MS4800 system must be installed, configured, and incorporated into a
machine control system by a sufficiently trained and qualified person. An
unqualified person may not be able to perform these operations properly,
which may cause a person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.
!WARNING
When changes are made to each function using the selector switches, the
administrator must manage the detail of the changes and perform the
changes. Accidental functional setting change may cause failure of human
body detection, resulting in a serious injury.
2-2 For machines
!WARNING
Do not use this sensor for machines that cannot be stopped by electrical con-
trol. For example, do not use it for a pressing machine that uses full-rotation
clutch. Otherwise, the machine may not stop before a person reaches the
hazardous part, resulting in serious injury.
!WARNING
Do not use the auxiliary output or external indicator output for safety applica-
tions. Human body may not be detected when MS4800 system fails, resulting
in serious injury.
2-3 For installations
!WARNING
After unpacking and before installing the MS4800 system please check the
mechanical condition of the system carefully. Do not install a mechanically
damaged product. Return this to your OMRON service for inspection or repair.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
!WARNING
Do not drop the products. Dropping the products may lead to internal or exter-
nal damage. Please return a MS4800 system that was dropped on the floor to
your OMRON service for inspection or repair. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
!WARNING
Make sure to test the operation of the MS4800 system after installation to ver-
ify that the MS4800 system operates as intended. Make sure to stop the
machine until the test is complete. Unintended function settings may cause a
person to go undetected, resulting in serious injury.
