2.2 Correct use
The MLG-2 measuring automation light grid is a measuring device which is manufac‐
t
ur
ed according to the recognized industrial regulations and which meets the quality
requirements stipulated in ISO 9001:2008 as well as those relating to environmental
management systems as defined in ISO 14001:2009.
The measuring automation light grids are solely intended for the optical and non-con‐
tact detection of objects, animals, and persons.
A measuring automation light grid is designed for mounting and may only be operated
according to its intended function. For this reason, it is not equipped with direct safety
devices.
The system designer must provide measures to ensure the safety of persons and sys‐
tems in accordance with the legal guidelines.
In the event of any other usage or modification to the MLG-2 measuring automation
light grid (e.g., due to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation)
or in the event of changes made to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG
under the warranty will be rendered void.
