The sensor with reed contact is not a safety component in terms of the EU Machinery Directive. Before using your sensor, therefore, observe the safety information listed here, as well as the descriptions and information in the instructions for your sensor.
Required Qualifications
Connection, assembly, and adjustment of the sensor with reed contact may only be carried out by qualified electrical or pneumatic personnel or an instructed person under the direction and supervision of qualified personnel.
Important safety information
-
Do not install the sensor with reed contact in areas that are exposed to direct sun or other weather effects unless this is explicitly permitted in the operating instructions.
-
To avoid the danger of fire:
– Only implement electrical connections in line with local and national electrical regulations and standards.
– Secure the sensor with a fuse that is suitable for the width of the connector cable.
For details, see the operating instructions. -
Sensors with reed contacts are not short-circuit-resistant. To avoid the danger of short-circuits:
– Always operate the reed switch with a load (RL) (see the graphic on the title page) to ensure that a switch actuation does not result in a short circuit via the closed reed contact.
– Never exceed the given values for switching current and voltage (see the printing on the package).
– An appropriately designed short-circuit protective device (SCPD) must be used if there is a danger of a short circuit in the sensor (expected improper use). This device should be triggered if the maximum permissible current is exceeded.
Note for devices with supply voltage > 50 V (AC), 75 V (DC)
- To avoid the loss of electrical safety (protection class):
– Observe the installation instructions during commissioning.
– Protect the device from humidity and contamination during commissioning.
– Unless stated otherwise in the operating instructions, only use the sensor in areas with a maximum contamination level of 3, maximum overvoltage category II, and a maximum altitude of 2,000 m above sea level.
– Protect the device from mechanical damage.
– Only use the device when installed.
