Safety Safety Sensor operation assumes knowledge of the operating instructions. Symbols Used The following symbols are used in these operating instructions: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or mode- rate injury. Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided. Indicates a user action.
Safety 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 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.
Safety Foreseeable Misuse Do not pull out the measuring wire beyond the measuring range listed. This causes the wire to break and thus uncontrolled snapping of the measuring wire. Risk of injury. Do not have sensor held by a second person while the measuring wire is pulled out. Risk of snapping and thus injury.
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Measuring Principle The draw-wire principle transforms a linear movement into a change in resistance. A measuring wire made of highly flexible stainless-steel cores is wound onto a drum by using a durable spring motor.

Delivery Delivery Unpacking/Included in Delivery 1 Sensor 1 Assembly instructions Do not remove draw-wire displacement sensors from packaging using the wire, threaded bolts on the wire or the wire eye. Transport them in such a way that they cannot be damaged. Check the delivery for completeness and shipping damage immediately after unpacking.
Installation and Assembly Installation and Assembly Precautions Free return of measu- ring wire not permitted! Do not pull out the measuring wire beyond the measuring range listed. > Risk of injury due to > Damage to or destruction of the sensor whiplash of the wire with mounting bolts/ Do not damage the measuring wire.
