2.2
Correct use
The A3M60 Basic PROFIBUS Absolute Encoder is a measuring device that is manufactured
in accordance with recognized industrial regulations and that meets the quality require-
ments in accordance with ISO 9001.
An encoder is a device for mounting that cannot be used independent of its foreseen
function. For this reason an encoder is not equipped with immediate safe devices.
Measures for the safety of persons and systems must be provided by the constructor of
the system as per statutory regulations.
The A3M60 Basic is only allowed to be operated in a PROFIBUS DP network as per its
purpose defined by its design. It is necessary to comply with the PROFIBUS DP specifi-
cations and guidelines for setting up a PROFIBUS DP network.
In case of any other usage as well as in case of modifications to the A3M60 Basic, e.g. due
to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation, or to the SICK software,
any claims against SICK AG under the warranty will be rendered void.
