WARNING
Failure of the safety function
When used outside of the defined environmental conditions, the safety-related
function of the sensor cannot be guaranteed�
► Use only in accordance with the defined environmental conditions
(→ 9 Technical data).
Use of the sensor in the vicinity of chemical and biological media (solid, liquid,
gaseous) as well as ionising radiation is not permitted�
Observe the following requirements:
► Take measures to avoid metallic objects being placed on the sensing face
unintentionally�
► Adhere to EN 14119 for interlocking devices associated with guards�
► Adhere to the principle of normally closed operation for all external safety
circuits connected to the system�
► In case of faults within the fail-safe sensor which result in the defined safe
state: take measures to maintain the safe state when the complete control
system continues to be operated�
► Replace damaged units�
