ATTENTION 

The 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 recommendations may result in electrical
shock, fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance or equipment
failure, and may void the sensor warranty.

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

of an electric motor may reach temperatures which can cause
discomfort, burns or injury to individuals 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 estimated by hand 
touch or direct skin contact. Failure to observe this precaution 

could result in bodily injury.
