  • Page 26: Standardisation Of The Vms510

    • When using the VMS510 in standardized applications, observe the relevant national law. SICK can provide advice on this topic if required. However this advice is no substitute for legal advice. • A scale interval d 5 mm ( 0.2 in) is only possible in industrial conditions in optimal applications.
  • Page 27 How to use the standardisation of the VMS510: Check national laws and regulations to ascertain the steps required for standardisation. SICK can provide advice on this topic if required. However this advice is no substitute for legal advice. We suggest that you attach seals to specified parts of the VMS510 and any existing accessories to protect against manipulation.
