General

Intended Use

- The measuring system is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is used for
ƒ displacement, distance and movement measurement, thickness measurement,
ƒ measuring the position of parts or machine components
- The measuring system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data.
The measuring system must only be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines are dama-
ged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.

Proper Environment

- Sensor protection class: IP40 ... IP65
- Controller protection class: IP40
Lenses are excluded from protection class. Contamination of the lenses causes impairment or failure of the function.
- Operating temperature range
ƒ Sensor: +5 ... +70 °C ( +41 ... +158 °F)
ƒ Controller: +5 ... +50 °C (+41 ... +122 °F)
- Storage temperature range: -20 ... +70 °C (-4 ... +158 °F)
- Humidity: 5 - 95 % (non-condensing)
- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure
- EMC: As per EN 61000-6-3 / EN 61326-1 (Class B) Emitted interference; EN 61000-6-2 / EN 61326-1 Immunity to
interference
