2.3 Installation, commissioning and operation
The position sensors must be used only in technically safe
condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe oper-
ation, installation, connection and service, work may be per-
formed only by qualified technical personnel.
If danger of injury to persons or of damage to operating
equipment is caused by sensor failure or malfunction, ad-
ditional safety measures such as plausibility checks, limit
switches, EMERGENCY STOP systems, protective devices
etc. are required. In the event of trouble, shut down the sen-
