Important hazards in use
WARNING:
The absence of instruction, or the inadequate imparting of instruction, can lead to incorrect or prohibited use,
and can give rise to accidents with far-reaching human, material and environmental consequences.
Precautions:
All users must follow the safety instructions given by the manufacturer and the directions of the person
responsible for the instrument.
CAUTION:
Watch out for erroneous distance measurements if the instrument is defective or if it has been dropped or has
been misused or modified.
Precautions:
Carry out periodic test measurements, partially after the instrument has been subject to abnormal use, and
before, during and after important measurements. Make sure the DLS-A(H) optics are kept clean.
WARNING:
Hidden labels of the DLS-A(H) when mounted could cause a dangerous situation.
Precautions:
Always ensure the visibility of DLS-A(H) labels at all times or add labels corresponding to the local safety
regulation.
CAUTION:
When using the instrument for distance measurements or for positioning moving objects (e.g. cranes, building
equipment, platforms, etc.) unforeseen events (e.g. breaking the laser beam) may cause erroneous
measurements.
Precautions:
Only use this product as a measuring sensor, not as a control device. The system must be configured and
operated in such a way that no damage will occur in case of an erroneous measurement, malfunction of the
device or power failure due to installed safety measures (e.g. safety limit switch).
