Safety
wireSENSOR, WDS series
The supply voltage must not exceed the specified limits
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
Avoid shocks and impacts to the sensor.
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
1.3
Notes on CE Marking
For all WDS draw-wire displacement sensors, the EC Directive 2006/42/EC shall apply.
For all WDS draw-wire displacement sensors with potentiometer, the EU Directive 2011/65/EU shall also
apply.
Draw-wire displacement sensors with potentiometer output are devices (components) which cannot be op-
erated autonomously and do not carry a CE mark. Therefore, an EU Declaration of Conformity is not issued
according to EMC law and the Machinery Directive.
1.4
Intended Use
- Draw-wire displacement sensors are used for test applications during crash tests, for simulators and in test
benches.
- Sensors must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap.
.
- Draw-wire displacement sensors must be used only in such a way that no persons are endangered or
machines and other material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
