signal) status and the charging level of the internal battery.

DANGER
Failure of safety-related functions due to deficient data transmission.
Severe injury or death.
The device operates using radio signals and is not authorized for use in safety-related
applications. Insufficient cellular connectivity, interference or malfunctioning of the device can
cause faulty data transmission. Because of this, data transmission cannot be always guaranteed
and under all conditions.
- Never operate the device in machines or applications where life depends on the fault-free
operation of this device.
- Never rely solely on wireless devices for essential communications.
- The device is designed to be used in systems which must be checked for conformity with the
respective valid legal requirements prior to putting into operation. The integrator of the device is
responsible for ensuring that the device complies with all regional regulations and requirements.
- The device must only be put into operation by qualified technicians and electricians with
advanced knowledge of electrical engineering
The Basic Tracker can be used in environments that require protection class IP67.

INFORMATION
Protection classes IP67 are only guaranteed when all connectors of the device are equipped with
their corresponding connector plugs and the device is installed in accordance with the hints from
chapter Mounting the Device.
Only use the device within the permitted temperature range and the other parameters specified in the Technical Data.
Any use other than that described under “Intended use” is considered unintended use.
The device is equipped with low capacity rechargeable battery to ensure a safe shutdown when the power supply
voltage is disconnected. See also Technical Data.
The integrated battery has a limited lifetime. Please note that the battery cannot be replaced in the
field. In the event of a defective battery, visit the Support website and contact the technical support
department by using our Support Form.

The device is not designed for permanent battery operation. Its battery has a very limited capacity.
For this reason the device shall be connected to the permanent power supply voltage (terminal 30)
so that it can also operate if the machine was powered off. The device will go to sleep mode with a
minimal power consumption when DIN 1 (terminal 15) changed to status low and only turns on to
send a regular low frequency position update.
MISUSE
The device does not comply with Directive 2014/34/EU and may not be used in potentially explosive areas.
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
The device must only be put into operation by qualified technicians and electricians with advanced knowledge of
electrical engineering.
The specialist personnel must know the contents of this manual and always have access to it.


NOTICE
Risk of Property damage.
Device is not installed in accordance with the setup requirements and permitted environmental
conditions.
- The system integrator is responsible to install the device according to the specification and take
corrective action in regards mechanical protection against soiling, water penetration and vibration.
- If necessary, install external protection shields. For example, an additional housing to protect the
device from jet water.
- Install the device according to the recommended mounting position.
- Ensure that the cable management fulfills the required mechanical protection, insulation from
vibration and strain.
