1. Safety operating instructions
Before starting the sensors operation, please, read this documentation carefully and follow the safety instructions.
This technical documentation provides information on the mechanical installation of Temposonics
service technicians who are familiar with sensor projecting and handling.
Intended use
Temposonics
sensors are built according to actual electrical engineering standards. They are state-of-the-art and meet the EMC-
®
requirements for interference emission and immunity for vehicles and mobile machines. Nevertheless, using the sensors can result
in hazards for the user or third parties, or cause damage of the sensor and other equipment.
The sensors are intended for measuring tasks in the field of mobile hydraulics. They are considered as accessories and must be connected to suit-
able evaluation electronics, e.g. a PLC, IPC, indicator or another type of electronic control unit.
As a prerequisite to ensure perfect and safe sensor operation, correct transport, storage, mounting, commissioning and careful operation are man-
datory. The sensors may be used only in safe condition. To maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, installation, connection and service
work may be performed only by qualified and authorized personnel.
Information related to danger
Information related to danger is intended for your personal safety and for the safety of the described product or connected equipment against dam-
age.
Installation and operation
If failure or functional disorder of the sensors cause danger for persons or imply a hazard of damage to operating facilities, additional safety mea-
sures such as plausibility checks, limit switches, EMERGENCY OFF systems, protective devices, etc. must be provided to prevent it. In the event of
trouble, shut down the sensor and protect it against unauthorized operation.
To maintain the sensor operability, it is indispensable to observe the following information:
- Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during installation and operation.
- Don't open or dismantle the sensor.
- Connect the sensor carefully and make sure that the polarity of connections, the operating voltage as well as the shape and duration of control
pulses are correct.
- Use only approved power supply units.
- Observing the permissible sensor limit values for operating voltage and environmental conditions etc. as specified in the product documentation is
indispensable.
- Check and document the function of the position sensor regularly.
- Before activating the equipment, make sure that nobody's safety is impaired by starting machines.
Repairs
Repairs on the sensor may only be performed by MTS or a body that has been explicitly authorized by MTS.
Warranty
The MTS warranty period for the sensors and the accessories included in the scope of supplies in the event of material defects and faults occurred
although the intended use has been observed is 12 months from the reception of products.
The MTS liability is limited to repair or replacement for every defective component of the unit. Warranty for defects due to incorrect use or exces-
sive strain of the product as well as for wear parts is excluded. MTS rejects any liability for consequences or side effects in case of violation of the
warranty provisions**, independent of whether warranty has been assured or expected. This is also applicable in the event of an error or negligence
committed by the company. MTS explicitly refrains from making any additional warranty promises. Representatives, agents, dealers and members
of the personnel are not authorized to increase or change the warranty conditions.
* Qualified personnel means persons who are
- familiar with the projection of safety concepts for automation equipment.
- competent in the field of EMC.
- have been trained adequately for commissioning and service work
- familiarized with the operation of the equipment and know the information required for perfect operation given in the product documentation.
