WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing
so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow
their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause
either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC
standards for personnel protection.
