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 to familiarize yourself with the device and its
functions before commencing any work.

The operating instructions are an integral part of the product. Store the instructions
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. Information on this can be found in the
operating instructions for the machine or system.

1.2

Explanation of symbols
