NOTICE
Risk of damage to the sensor during assembly.
•Observe a maximum tightening torque of 10 Ncm for the set-
screws.
NOTE
Ferromagnetic material changes the switching positions of the
sensor. For example: Adapter plate made of ordinary steel.
At ferromagnetic adapter plates:
• First mount the product on the adapter plate.
• Then set the position of the magnetic switch.
NOTE
• Do not use the sensor as a safety component.
• Do not pull on the cable of the sensor.
• Secure the cable and connection plug so that they are not
taught and cannot move during operation.
• Do not exceed the permitted bending radius of the cable.
• Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with hard objects
and chemicals (e.g., nitric acid, chromic acid and sulfuric acid).
