It is important to read these 
instructions in their entirety before 
installing the ABB Ability™ Smart 
Sensor for hazardous areas with 
wedge mount.

ATTENTION

The Smart Sensor should be installed by technically 
qualified personnel. Failure to install the sensor in 
compliance with applicable codes and regulations 
and according to the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations may result in electrical shock, fire hazard, 
unsatisfactory performance or equipment failure, 
and may void the sensor warranty.

ATTENTION

The mounting piece must be grounded if the sensor 
is installed in Ex Zone 0 or Zone 20 environments. 
Grounding can be achieved with the spike at the 
bottom of the mounting piece or by attaching a wire 
to the M3 screw provided.

WARNING

Only qualified individuals who are familiar with 
appropriate national codes, local codes and sound 
practices should install, repair or modify electric 
motors and/or related accessories. Installation 
should conform to appropriate codes and practices. 
Failure to follow these instructions could result in 
serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING
Electrical live circuit hazard.

 Do not touch electrically 

live parts or equipment. Disconnect, lock out and tag 
out the motor’s power supply before installing or 
servicing the sensor.

CAUTION
Motor surface temperature hazard. 

The external 

surface of an electric motor may reach temperatures 
which can cause discomfort, burns or injury to indi-
viduals who come into contact with the hot surface. 
For safety reasons the motor should be switched off 
and allowed to cool before attempting to install the 
sensor. Motor surface temperatures should only be 
measured with suitable instruments and not estima-
ted by hand touch or direct skin contact. Failure to 
observe this precaution could result in bodily injury. 

CAUTION
Do not replace batteries!

 Incorrect use of batteries 

voids the certifications of the Smart Sensor, such as 
hazardous area certifications, safety certifications, 
and IP rating. Dispose of used sensors according to 
instructions.
