damage and properly installed.
 Avoid touching the front screen.
 Clean dirty screens immediately (see Maintenance and Repairs Section 5.4).
 Replace damaged screens immediately (see Maintenance and Repairs Section 5.4).
The Scanner’s IP protection is guaranteed only when properly screwed-on plugs or plug cover caps are used.

installed.
1.11 Scanner Limitations
Environmental limitations — The Scanner is not suitable for use outdoors or under conditions with significant
temperature fluctuations. Humidity, condensation and other weather influences can impair the safety function.
 Use the Scanner only in environmentally controlled areas.
 Observe all technical data and ambient conditions.
For industrial use only — The Scanner can cause radio interference and is not suitable for use in residential
areas. Only use the Scanner in industrial environments.
Not for use on vehicles with combustion engines — The Scanner is not suitable for use on vehicles with combustion
engines, because alternators or ignition systems can cause EMC disturbances.

service life of 20 years. Repairs or replacement of wear and tear parts do not extend the service life.
Protective function limits — The Scanner does not protect against (including, but not limited to):
 Parts that are ejected from a machine
 Splashing/spraying liquids
 Gases and vapors
 Radiation
Vapors, smoke, dust, particles — Vapors, smoke, dust and all particles visible in the air can cause the machine to
switch OFF unintentionally. Do not use the Scanner in environments in which heavy vapors, smoke, dust or other visible
particles are present.
Stray light limitations — Light sources (including infrared, fluorescent, and strobe lights) can impair reliability. Ensure
that no interfering light sources are present within the Scanner detection plane.
 Prevent reflective surfaces at beam level.
 Where applicable, take additional separation (safety) distances into account.
 Ensure that there are no other photoelectric sources within the Scanner detection plane that can impair
performance.
Monitoring through a window restriction — Do not use the Scanner to monitor an area (scan) through any window or
transparent materials. Doing so can result in false detection that will cause nuisance machine stoppages.
