Safety
2.1 Use
Intended use
Angle sensors are used for
detecting a rotation-
al movement or for determining an angu-
lar position
. Typical fields of use include the
off-highway sector or automation.
Application both within the limits of the technical
data and the latest data sheet.
Furthermore, the following applies:
●
Do not angle sensors close to ferromagnetic
surroundings.
●
Do not operate angle sensor close to strong
electromagnetic fields or in the vicinity of equip-
ment that can be affected by magnetic fields.
●
Avoid strong levels of mechanical stress, such
as radial, tensile or pressure forces (depending
on the storage selected).
Observe the specified range of use according
to the datasheet. The products have not been
approved for aeronautical and aerospace appli-
cations and may not be used within the scope of
nuclear or military applications.
f
Check, whether the ordered variant matches
the application.
Every non-intended use or all activities performed
on the angle sensor that are not described in this
manual represent a not permitted, incorrect use
outside the legal limits of liability of the manufac-
turer.
Only use angle sensors if they are not damaged.
Adhere to all applicable safety conditions, laws
and directives.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
In the event of incorrect use, hazards can arise
for persons or property.
Incorrect use includes for example:
●
Unauthorised device conversions
●
Use of the device in areas at risk of explosion
●
Installation / putting into service / use of the
device by insufficiently qualified personnel
2.2 Warning instructions
2.2.1 Signal words
The severity of the hazard and its consequences
are graded in the manual through use of a signal
word and colours.
DANGER
Indicates an immediately threatening
danger. If not avoided, death or severe
injuries will result.
WARNING
Indicates a possibly dangerous situ-
ation. If not avoided, death or severe
injuries may result.
CAUTION
Indicates a possibly dangerous
situation. If not avoided, light or minor
injuries may result.
NOTICE
Indicates a possibly dangerous situa-
tion. If not avoided, property damage
may result.
2.2.2 Pictograms
These pictograms are used in this manual as
necessary.
Warning of a general hazard
This warning sign occurs prior to
activities where a number of causes
may lead to hazards.
Warning of dangerous electrical
voltage
This warning sign occurs prior to
activities where there is a risk of
electric shock, possibly with fatal
consequences.
2.3 Personnel
Only specially trained, authorised specialised
personnel may assemble, install, maintain and
repair the angle sensor as well as performing any
other work.
