SAFETY AND ATTENTION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1
Safety instructions
Explosion risk
Spark formation can cause a fire or an explosion.
» Do not use the encoder in areas with explosive and/or highly infl ammable materi-
als. They may explode and/or catch fire by possible spark formation.
Risk of serious injuries due to rotating shafts
Hair and clothes may become tangled in rotating shafts. Touching the rotating parts
can cause extremely serious injuries.
» Before all work switch off all operating voltages and ensure machinery is statio-
nary.
» Prevent reconnection operating voltages by third parties.
Risk of serious injuries due to consequential damages
Plants can be deregulated due to malfunction or faulty signals of the encoder.
» Damage caused by faulty operation or by a malfunction of the encoder must be
eliminated by corresponding safety measures.
Risk of burns due to formation of heat
The encoder heats up at higher speed so there is a serious risk of burning shortly
after the machine has been turned off.
» Examine carefully whether the encoder overheats. Wear suitable gloves if neces-
sary.
