Damage to motor in the event of incorrectly connected KTY temperature sensor 
If a KTY temperature sensor is connected with incorrect polarity, it is not possible to detect 
when the motor overheats. Overheating can cause damage to the motor. 
• Connect a KTY temperature sensor with the correct polarity.
Danger to life due to electric shock in the event of voltage flashovers at the temperature 
sensor 
Voltage flashovers in the signal electronics can occur in motors without safe electrical 
separation of the temperature sensors. 
• Use temperature sensors that comply with the specifications relating to protectiv
e
s
eparation. 
• If safe electrical separation cannot be guaranteed (for linear motors or third-party
motors, for example), use a Sensor Module External (SME120 or SME125) or Terminal 
Module TM120.
