General		The apparatus has to be operated according to the appropriate data in the data sheet and in this instruction manual. The data stated in the data sheet are restricted by this operating instruction! The special conditions must be observed!
Installation, commissioning		Laws and/or regulations and standards governing the use or intended usage goal must be observed.
Maintenance		No modifications must be undertaken on apparatus, which is operated in hazardous areas. Repairs to such apparatus are not permissible.
Special conditions
	Maximum permissible ambient temperature T_Umax	Dependent on the sensor supply, the on-load current is as stated in the data sheet.
	Protection from mechanical danger	The apparatus must be protected from mechanical damage.
	Protection from UV light	The apparatus must be protected from damaging UV radiation.

Directive conformity		94/9/EG
Standards		EN 61241-1:2004 Protection via housing "tD"
General		The apparatus has to be operated according to the appropriate data in the data sheet and in this instruction manual. The data stated in the data sheet are restricted by this operating instruction! The special conditions must be observed!
Installation, commissioning		Laws and/or regulations and standards governing the use or intended usage goal must be observed.
Maintenance		No modifications must be undertaken on apparatus, which is operated in hazardous areas. Repairs to such apparatus are not permissible.
Special conditions
	Protection from mechanical danger	The apparatus must be protected from mechanical damage.
	Plug connector	Plug connectors must not be removed or plugged in under stress. Deposits of dust must be removed before unplugging a connector. When the plug connectors are disconnected, care must be taken to ensure that dirt does not get into the internal area (d. h. normally sealed by the connected plug connector). For the socket a VAZ-V1-B dummy plug must be used for this purpose (Pepperl+Fuchs mounting accessory). A VAZ-VIS-B cap (Pepperl+Fuchs mounting accessory) must be used to protect the plug. The tightening torque value for the plugs and caps is 0.4 Nm ... 0.5 Nm. Connectors should be tightened thoroughly by hand. In order to prevent unintentional loosening of the plug connector, the connector must be secured with the V1 Clip (Pepperl+Fuchs mounting accessory). The cables are to be laid in such a way that no tension is exerted on the connector.
