For your safety
The product is designed according to state of the art technology. Residual hazards, however,
still exist. Observe the following warnings and safety regulations in order to prevent danger to
persons and property. Turck accepts no liability for damage caused by failure to observe these
warnings and safety instructions.
3.1
Intended use
The devices are designed for installation in large-scale industrial plants and equipment and for
use in industrial automation applications.
The inductive sensors of the uprox® series enable the contactless and wear-free detection of
metallic objects. The factor 1 sensors have no reduction factor; the switching distance is the
same for all metals. The sensors are not susceptible to interference from strong magnetic fields.
The devices can be operated and set with IO-Link masters compliant with specification 1.1 via
an IO-Link interface. Process and diagnostics data can be exchanged during operation via IO-
Link with the higher controller level.
The devices must only be used as described in these instructions. Any other use is not in accor-
dance with the intended use; Turck accepts no liability for any resulting damage.
3.2
Obvious misuse

The listed switching distances are based on a standard target as specified in EN 60947-
5-2:2012. Different targets (especially small targets) may cause changes in the switching
behavior.
3.3
General safety instructions
