can therefore be used for billing purposes.
When operating the VMS5200-x MID in an application requiring official legal-for-trade
verification, be sure to comply with applicable national law. SICK can assist you with this
in an advisory capacity on request. However, this assistance is not a substitute for legal
advice.
