Intended use

The Micropulse Transducer, together with a machine
controller (e.g. PLC), comprises a linear encoder. It is
intended to be installed into a machine or system and
used in the industrial sector. Flawless function in
accordance with the specifications in the technical data is
ensured only when using original BALLUFF accessories.
Use of any other components will void the warranty.
Opening the transducer or non-approved use are not
permitted and will result in the loss of warranty and liability
claims against the manufacturer.
2.2 General safety notes for the position
measuring system
Installation and startup may only be performed by
trained specialists with basic electrical knowledge.
Qualified personnel are those who can recognize
possible hazards and institute the appropriate safety
measures due to their professional training, knowledge,
and experience as well as their understanding of the
relevant regulations pertaining to the work to be done.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the position measuring system will not result in
hazards to persons or equipment.
If defects and unresolvable faults occur in the transducer, it
should be taken out of service and secured against
unauthorized use.
