Safety
wireSENSOR, WPS
1.4 Intended Use
- Draw wire sensors are used for
distance or displacement measuring
position determination of components or moving machine parts.
- The sensors must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 2..
- Draw wire sensors must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other
material goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the sensor.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
1.5 Proper Environment
- Protection class for sensor: IP 20
1
IP 65 (MK60, MK88, MK120)
- Operating temperature: -20 °C to +80 °C (-4 to +176 °F)
- Storage temperature: -40 °C to +80 °C (-40 to +176 °F)
- Humidity: 5 - 95 % (non-condensing)
- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure

Note the slight power dissipation of the potentiometer above +40°C (+104 °F)! (-0.15 W/10 K)!
1.6 Foreseeable Misuse
Do not further extract the measuring wire but only to the specified measuring range. This may lead to dam-
age of the measuring wire and also to uncontrollable snapping of the measuring wire. Danger of injury.
Make sure the sensor is not held by another person when the measuring wire is extracted. Danger of snap-
ping and injury.
1) For models with potentiometer. For models with encoder depends on encoder type.
