2.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any use other than that defined under "Intended use" or which goes beyond that use is considered im-
proper use.
In principle, the safety sensor is not suitable as a protective device for use in the following cases:
• Danger posed by ejected objects or the spraying of hot or hazardous liquids from within the danger
zone.
• Applications in explosive or easily flammable atmospheres.
• Use for outdoor applications or under extreme temperature fluctuations.
Humidity, condensation and other weather influences can impair the protective function.
• Use on vehicles with combustion engines.
Alternators and ignition systems can cause EMC interferences.
NOTICE
Do not modify or otherwise interfere with the safety sensor!
Ä Do not carry out modifications or otherwise interfere with the safety sensor. The safety sen-
sor must not be tampered with and must not be changed in any way.
Ä The safety sensor must not be opened. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Ä The construction of the safety sensor must not be altered. When manipulating the safety
sensor, the protective function is no longer guaranteed.
Ä Manipulating the safety sensor voids all warranty claims against the manufacturer of the
safety sensor.
Ä Repairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.
2.3 Competent persons
Connecting, mounting, commissioning and adjustment of the safety sensor must only be carried out by
competent persons.
Prerequisites for competent persons:
• They have a suitable technical education.
• They know the rules and regulations for labor protection, safety at work and safety technology and can
assess the safety of the machine.
• They know the operating instructions for the safety sensor and the machine.
• They have been instructed by the responsible person on the mounting and operation of the machine
and of the safety sensor.
• They perform a task related to the subject matter shortly thereafter and keep their knowledge up to date
through continuous further training.
Certified electricians
Electrical work must be carried out by a certified electrician.
Due to their technical training, knowledge and experience as well as their familiarity with relevant standards
and regulations, certified electricians are able to perform work on electrical systems and independently de-
tect possible dangers.
In Germany, certified electricians must fulfill the requirements of accident-prevention regulations DGUV
(German Social Accident Insurance) provision 3 (e.g. electrician foreman). In other countries, there are re-
spective regulations that must be observed.
