2.5 Intended use
The safety measuring system can be used for the detection of angular movement and processing of
measured data for a downstream safety host in systems in which the
safety-related requirements of
“Safeguarding travel”, “Safeguarding velocity” or “Safeguarding direction of travel”
must be
reliably achieved. In this case, the complete processing chain of the safety function must satisfy the
requirements of the applied safety standard.
The safety measuring system may only be used in safety applications in conjunction with a control
certified according to the applied safety standard.
The system manufacturer must verify that the properties of the measuring system satisfy his
application-specific safety requirements. The responsibility or decision regarding the use of the
measuring system lies with the system manufacturer.
Intended use also includes:
●
following all instructions provided in the other applicable documents,
●
observing the nameplate and any prohibition or instruction symbols on the measuring system;
●
observing enclosed documents,
●
operating the measuring system within the limit values specified in the technical data;
●
ensuring that the fail-safe processing unit fulfills all required safety functions;
●
ensuring that the checklist – part 1 in the present document and part 2 in the interface-specific
User Manual – is used and went through completely;
●
safely attaching (form-locking) the measuring system to the driving axis.
2.6 Non-intended use
Any non-intended use of the measuring system results in the risk of
death, physical injury and damage to property.
The following areas of use are especially forbidden:
-
standard measuring-system:
in environments with an explosive atmosphere according to the
ATEX Directive
-
for medical purposes in accordance with the Medical Devices
Directive
-
as a step or climbing aid
-
for wiring as antitwist protection (torque arm)
-
as an abutment for tension chains and belts
