ATM cards, among other things. > Damage or destruction possible Notice on CE Marking The following apply to the capaNCDT MD6-22: - EU Directive 2014/30/EU - EU Directive 2011/65/EU, „RoHS“ category 9 Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited and the European har- monized standards (EN) listed therein.
Safety Intended Use - The capaNCDT MD6-22 is designed for use in industrial, laboratory and residential applications. It is used for mobile distance and gap measurements. - The measuring system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap.
The linear characteristic of the measuring signal is achie- ved for electrically conductive target materials (metals) without any additional electronic linearization. Slight changes in the conductivity or magnetic properties do not affect the sensitivity or linearity. Measurement direction MD6-22 Page 8...
