WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel
protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This device does NOT include the self-checking redundant cir-
cuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applica-
tions. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an ener-
gized or de-energized sensor output condition.
