1. Safety instructions

1.1 Symbols

The symbols in these instructions point out risks and have the following meaning:

Warning in case of risks.

Non-observance can result in malfunctioning.

Non-observance can result in malfunctioning and 
personal injury.

Information on proper product handling.

1.2 Intended use

•  The KINAX 2W2 is a precision instrument. It is used to determine angular po-

sitions, processing and providing measured values   of electrical output signals 
for the downstream device. Encoders use for this purpose only.

•  The angular position transmitter is not intended to measure rotation speed.

•  The device is intended for installation in industrial plants and meets the requi-

rements of EN 61010-1.

•  Device versions with explosion protection may only be used in the planned 

purposes and have to be installed in a housing with an ingress protection of at 
least IP20 according to EN 60529. The operation in other explosive atmospheres 
is not permissible.

•  Manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by inappropriate handling, 

modifi cation or any application not according to the intended purpose.

1.3 Commissioning

•  Installation, assembly, setup and commissioning of the 

device has to be carried out exclusively by skilled workers.

•  Observe manufacturer’s operating instructions.

•  Check all electric connections prior to commissioning the 

plant.

•  If assembly, electric connection or other work on the device 

and the plant are not carried out properly, this may result 
in malfunctioning or breakdown of the device.

•  Safety measures should be taken to avoid any danger to 

persons, any damage of the plant and any damage of the 
equipment due to breakdown or malfunctioning of the 
device.

•  Do not operate the device outside of the limit values stated 

in the operating instructions.

•  Operation of device versions with explosion protection is 

only permissible when...

-  the details on the type label of the device match the on-

site conditions for the permissible Ex area in use (group 
of equipment, equipment category, zone, temperature 
class or maximum surface temperature)

-  the details on the type label of the device match the 

electrical supply network

-   the device is undamaged and
-   it has been checked that there is no explosive atmos-

phere, oils, acids, gases, vapors, radiation etc. present 
during installation.

1.4 Repair work and modifi cations

Repair work and modifi cations shall exclusively be carried 
out by the manufacturer. In case of any tampering with the 
device, the guaranty claim shall lapse. We reserve the right 
of changing the product to improve it.

1.5 Disposal

The disposal of devices and components may only be realised 
in accordance with good professional practice observing the 
country-specifi c regulations.

1.6 Transport and storage

Transport and store the devices exclusively in their original 
packaging. Do not drop devices or expose them to sub-
stantial shocks.

Operating Instructions

2. Scope of delivery

- Transmitter for angular position KINAX 2W2, acc. made to order
- 3 clamps
- 1 Operating instructions in German, French and English
- 1 Type examination certifi cate, only with ATEX-approval

3. Application

The KINAX 2W2 transmitter converts the angular position of a shaft into a 

load 

independent 

direct current signal, proportional to the angular position.

Due to the compact design, the angular position transmitters are particularly suitable 
for installation in or mounting / on devices and apparatuses.

Explosion-proof “

Intrinsically safe Ex ia IIC T6

” versions with I.S. meas uring output 

rounds off this series of transmitters.

4. Main features
