General risks when using the product
The product, hereinafter referred to as
the measuring system
, is manufactured according to
state-of-the-art technology and accepted safety rules.
Nevertheless, non-intended use can
pose a danger to life and limb of the user or third parties, or lead to impairment of the
measuring system or other property!
Only use the measuring system in perfect technical condition, and only for its intended use,
paying attention to safety and dangers, and in compliance with the
operating and assembly
instructions!
Faults which could threaten safety should be eliminated without delay!
Intended use
The safety measuring system can be used for the detection of angular movement and
processing of measured data for a downstream safety computer system in systems in which
the
protection goals
of "
Protection of speed
" and "
Protection of direction of movement
"
must be safely achieved. The complete processing chain of the safety function must then
satisfy the requirements of the applied safety standard.
The safety measuring system may only be used in safety applications in conjunction with a
control certified according to the applied safety standard.
The system manufacturer must check that the characteristics of the measuring system satisfy
his application-specific safety requirements. The responsibility or decision regarding the use of
the measuring system lies with the system manufacturer.
Intended use also includes:
·
observing all instructions in this operating and assembly instructions,
·
observing the nameplate and any prohibition or instruction symbols on the measuring
system,
·
observing the operating instructions from the machine/system manufacturer,
·
operating the measuring system within the limit values specified in the technical data,
·
ensuring that the fail-safe processing unit (F-Host) fulfils all required safety functions,
·
observing and using the checklist in the Appendix,
·
safe mounting (form-closed) of the measuring system to the driving axis, also see chapter
