2 Basic safety notes
2.1 Appropriate use
The complete APS-M1 system, consisting of electronic processor
and sensor, is intended for displacement measurements, e.g.
–for attachment to grippers for measuring and control tasks,
–for installation in measuring stands and measuring devices,
–for testing and gauging workpieces and production processes in
a clean environment.
Since the system is not calibrated or gauged, the user must
calibrate the system or have it gauged for corresponding
applications at regular intervals.
• The electronic processor is intended for installation in a switch
cabinet. The applicable guidelines must be observed and
complied with.
• The product may only be used within the scope of its technical
data, Technical Data APS-M1E [}7].
2.2 Inappropriate use
The product is not a safety component in accordance with the EC
Machine Directive 2006/42/EC and must not be used in safety-
relevant parts of machine control units.
2.3 Environmental and operating conditions
Required ambient conditions and operating conditions
Incorrect ambient and operating conditions can make the product
unsafe, leading to the risk of serious injuries, considerable material
damage and/or a significant reduction to the product's life span.
• Make sure that the product is used only in the context of its
defined application parameters, Technical Data APS-M1E
[}7].
• Make sure that the environment is free from splash water and
vapors as well as from abrasion or processing dust. Exceptions
are products that are designed especially for contaminated
environments.
2.4 Constructional changes
Implementation of structural changes
By conversions, changes, and reworking, e.g. additional threads,
holes, or safety devices can impair the functioning or safety of the
product or damage it.
• Structural changes should only be made with the written
approval of SCHUNK.

4.1 Mounting and connecting the electronic processor
ØMount the electronic processor in the control cabinet.
ØIf the length of the sensor cable is not sufficient, use a cable
extension (see operating manual of the sensor).
✓Maximum permissible cable length between sensor and
electronic processor: 10m.
ØConnect the sensor or extension cable to the terminals of the
electronic processor, Connection diagram [}9].
ØConnect the shield of the sensor cable to the ground terminal.
ØConnect the power supply to the evaluation electronics.
ØConnect the multimeter or automation device to the standard
signal output(0-10V or 4-20mA) used.
ØAdjust the standard signal output to the gripper stroke,
Calibrating the electronic processor [}10].
ØConnect the cable shield to the functional earth(FE) of the
electronic processor.
ØConnect shielded cable between electronic processor and
automation device, Connection diagram [}9].
✓Maximum permissible cable length: 3m.
