NOTE
The product is a programmable device. The respective programmer is therefore respon‐
sible for his/her programming work and the resultant operation of the device. The liabil‐
ity and warranty of SICK AG is limited to the device specification (hardware functionality
and any programming interfaces) according to the agreed conditions. SICK AG will
therefore not be liable, among other things, for any damages resulting from the pro‐
gramming of the product by the customer or third parties.
2.5 Modifications and conversions
NOTICE
Modifications and conversions to the device may result in unforeseeable dangers.
Interrupting or modifying the device or SICK software will invalidate any warranty claims
against SICK AG. This applies in particular to opening the housing, even as part of
mounting and electrical installation.
2.5.1 Exception: temporarily opening the cover on the device
NOTICE
The user may open the housing only in order to obtain temporary access to the USB
interface or the slot for the optional memory card. For this purpose, the corresponding
side cover on the device can be opened temporarily.
In open state, the device does not conform to a specified enclosure rating. The device
must be protected appropriately against moisture and dust.
b
Operate the device only for a short time without closed cover.
NOTE
The USB interface of the device is used in industrial environments only as a service
interface for temporary use (e.g. for configuration, troubleshooting). Permanent use in
operational use of the system as a host interface is not intended.
For further warranty provisions, see the General Terms and Conditions of SICK AG, e.g.
on the delivery note of the device.
2.5.2 Conditions for specified enclosure rating
To ensure compliance with the specified IP67 enclosure rating of the device, the follow‐
ing requirements must be met. If these requirements are not met, the device does not
fulfill any specified enclosure rating.
•
The joint side cover for the USB interface and the memory card slot is placed
against the device and screwed on tight.
•
The cables plugged into the electrical M12 and M8 connections must be screwed
tight.
•
Any M12 and M8 connections that are not being used must be sealed with protec‐
tive plugs or caps, depending on type. These plugs or caps must be screwed tight
(as in the delivery condition).
The same also applies to the EMC requirement (ESD) according to CE.
NOTICE
The type label on the lower side of the device contains a pressure equalizing membrane
attached in the middle. If the type label is damaged or removed, the leak tightness of
the device can no longer be guaranteed.
