Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current! As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the SICK device and other grounded devices in the system, faulty grounding of the SICK device can give rise to the following dangers and faults: Dangerous voltages are applied to the metal housings ■...
Page 25
As a result, equalizing currents can no longer flow via the cable shields and metal housing. NOTICE The power supply for the SICK device and the connected peripheral devices must also guarantee the required level of insulation. Under certain circumstances, a tangible potential can develop between the insulated metal housings and the local ground potential.
