General, Safety, Transport and Storage Statement of Warranties The producer guarantees the functional capability of the process engineering and the selected parameters. Demounting and Disposal Unless acceptance and disposal of returned goods are agreed upon, demount the device considering the safety instructions of this manual and dispose it with respect to the environment. -
Page 7: Conventional Use
General, Safety, Transport and Storage Conventional Use The ELGO-device is only conceived for the conventional use described in this manual. The ELGO linear encoder IMAX only serves to measure lengths and positions. CAUTION! Danger through non-conventional use! Non-intended use and non-observance of this operating manual can lead to dangerous situations. -
