Do not further extract the measuring wire but only to the specified measuring range. This may lead to dam-
age of the measuring wire and also to uncontrollable snapping of the measuring wire. Danger of injury.
Make sure the sensor is not held by another person when the measuring wire is extracted. Danger of snap-
ping and injury.
1) For models with potentiometer. For models with encoder depends on encoder type.

Intended Use

ƒ distance or displacement measuring
ƒ position determination of components or moving machine parts.
material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.

Proper Environment

Note the slight power dissipation of the potentiometer above +40°C (+104 °F)! (-0.15 W/10 K)!
