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 adhered to!
Installation, Comissioning  Laws and/or regulations and standards governing the use or intended usage 
goal must be observed.
Maintenance  No changes can be made to apparatus, which are operated in hazardous areas.
Repairs to these apparatus are not possible.
Special conditions   
Minimum series resistance R
V
  A minimum series resistance RV is to be provided between the power supply 
voltage and the proximity switch in accordance with the following list. This can 
also be assured by using a switch amplifier.
Maximum operating voltage UBmax  The maximum permissible operating voltage UBmax must be restricted to the 
values given in the following list. Tolerances are not permitted.
Maximum heating (Temperature rise)  Values can be obtained from the following list, depending on the max. operating 
voltage Ub max and the minimum series resistance Rv.

Protection from mechanical danger  The sensor must not be mechanically damaged.
Electrostatic charging  Electrostatic charges must be avoided on the mechanical housing components. 
Dangerous electrostatic charges on the mechanical housing components can 
be avoided by incorporating these in the equipotential bonding.
Protection of the connection cable  The connection cable must be prevented from being subjected to tension and 
torsional loading.
