2.2 Correct use
The AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET Absolute Encoder is a measuring device that is manu-
factured in accordance with recognized industrial regulations and meets the quality
requirements as per ISO 9001:2008 as well as those of an environment management
system as per ISO 14001:2009.
An encoder is a device for mounting that cannot be used independent of its foreseen
function. For this reason an encoder is not equipped with immediate safe devices.
Measures for the safety of persons and systems must be provided by the constructor of
the system as per statutory regulations.
The AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET is only allowed to be operated in a PROFINET network as
per its purpose defined by its design. It is necessary to comply with the PROFINET spe-
cifications and guidelines for setting up a PROFINET network.
In case of any other usage or modifications to the AFS60/AFM60 PROFINET, e.g. open-
ing the housing during mounting and electrical installation, or in case of modifications
to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG under warranty will be rendered void.
