Operation Manual
2.4 Safety instructions for use in explosion-hazardous areas
The sensor has been designed for operation inside explosion-hazarded
areas. It has been tested and left the factory in a condition in which
it is safe to operate. Relevant regulations and standards have been
observed. According to the marking (ATEX and NEC/CEC) the sensor
is approved only for operation in dened hazardous areas (see chapter
“2.1 Intended use” on page 3 and table in chapter 8).
2.5 Warranty

®
position sensors and supplied accessories relating to material
defects and faults that occur despite correct use in accordance with
the intended application
2
. The MTS Sensors obligation is limited to
repair or replacement of any defective part of the unit. No warranty
can be provided for defects that are due to improper use or above
average stress of the product, as well as for wear parts. Under no
circumstances will MTS Sensors accept liability in the event of offense
against the warranty rules, no matter if these have been assured or
expected, even in case of fault or negligence of the company.

NOTICE
When returning sensors, place protective caps on male and female
connectors of the sensor. For pigtail cables, place the cable ends in
a static shielding bag for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.
Fill the outer packaging around the sensor completely to prevent
damage during transport.
16. Make sure that:
• the sensor and associated components were installed
according to the instructions
• the sensor enclosure is clean
• the magnet does not grind on the rod. This could cause damage
to the magnet and the sensor rod. If there is contact between the
moving magnet (including the magnet holder) and the sensor
rod, make sure that the maximum speed of the moving magnet
is less or equal 1 m/s.
17. Grounding of the system (sensor + cylinder) to the local earth
has to be done at the metallic cylinder. To ensure proper
electrical grounding, the connection between the sensor housing
and the metallic cylinder (or housing) must be ensured by
fasteners (e.g., screws).
18. Before applying power, ensure that nobody’s safety is
jeopardized by starting machines.
19. Check the function of the sensor regularly and provide
documentation of the checks
(see chapter “6.2 Inspection and Maintenance” on page 10).
