About this document

1.1

Information on the operating instructions

These operating instructions provide important information on how to use devices from
SICK AG.

Prerequisites for safe work are:

Compliance with all safety notes and handling instructions supplied.

Compliance with local work safety regulations and general safety regulations for
device applications

The operating instructions are intended to be used by qualified personnel and electrical
specialists.

NOTE

Read these operating instructions carefully before starting any work on the device, in
order to familiarize yourself with the device and its functions.

The instructions constitute an integral part of the product and are to be stored in the
immediate vicinity of the device so they remain accessible to staff at all times. Should
the device be passed on to a third party, these operating instructions should be handed
over with it.

These operating instructions do not provide information on operating the machine or
system in which the device is integrated. For information about this, refer to the operat‐
ing instructions of the specific machine.

1.2

Explanation of symbols

Warnings and important information in this document are labeled with symbols. The
warnings are introduced by signal words that indicate the extent of the danger. These
warnings must be observed at all times and care must be taken to avoid accidents, per‐
sonal injury, and material damage.

DANGER

… indicates a situation of imminent danger, which will lead to a fatality or serious
injuries if not prevented.

WARNING

… indicates a potentially dangerous situation, which may lead to a fatality or serious
injuries if not prevented.

CAUTION

… indicates a potentially dangerous situation, which may lead to minor/slight injuries if
not prevented.

NOTICE

… indicates a potentially harmful situation, which may lead to material damage if not
prevented.

NOTE

… highlights useful tips and recommendations as well as information for efficient and
trouble-free operation.
