• If the safety device is not requested operationally at least once a year, it must be
checked manually by the operator at least once a year.
• During the operation of electrical components
– e. g. in the case of a short circuit, hot and ionised gases can be emitted;
protection covers must not be removed!
• The sensor should only be operated from a safety extra low voltage (SELV) system
with safe electrical separation according to EN 61558. The wiring must be
protected against mechanical damage.
• Check the voltage data on the label of the switching device.
• Pay attention to all local relevant electrical safety regulations.
• Ensure that the device/installations cannot be switched on.
• Ensure that the power supply is disconnected.
• Protect the device with a housing against contamination or harsh environments.
• Disconnect device from mains in the event of a fault.
• After accessing the inside of the device, ensure the cover/protection seal is closed
tightly to achieve the designated protection rating.
