Our equipment conforms to all official technical safety regulations. However, as a manufacturer we be-
lieve it is our duty to make you aware of the following information.
The following safety and danger notes are intended for your protection, for the protection
of third parties, and for the protection of the equipment. The safety notes therefore should
always be observed!
4.1 Intended use
The equipment is intended for use in the following fields of application and only in combi-
nation with a corresponding detection coil of series GLS, C-SCAN DLS, P-SCAN RP: Suc-
tion/pressure conveyor applications, free-fall applications, and applications at a conveyor
belt. The equipment can be used in the plastics, food, animal feed, recycling, and chemical
industry. Basically it is possible to also use the system in other applications than the in-
tended use stated herein, but such applications always require the prior consultation and
approval of Sesotec GmbH.

tronics housing, and that any connected external circuits
(e.g. at the metal relay) also may be energised. There is
danger of electric shocks due to the presence of mains volt-
age.
Connection symbols:
"Mains" (1)
"Metal" (2) und "Fault" (3)
4.3 Dangers arising from non-compliance with safety notes
Any non-observance of safety notes constitutes a danger for life and health.
4.4 Safety information for operators
The control unit may only be operated in the intended purpose and in a perfect func-
tioning condition, especially the cover of the electronic housing has to be closed during opera-
tion. Entered moisture has to be removed! All fixed warning signs on the equipment may not be
removed and have to be in a well recognizable condition. The operating instructions always
have to be in a legible condition and complete available.
Prior to commissioning always make
sure that the applicable accident prevention regulations are observed. If the control unit is
not mounted at the detection coil, it must be properly and firmly fastened by means of the
four screws. The operator must make sure that the equipment is mounted at an ergonomic
height for operation. The operator may only appoint qualified personnel for operation, mainte-
nance and repair work. If potentially explosive materials are examined, the pertinent regula-
tions must be observed.
