aWARNING
Risk of potential equalization currents
The TiM is designed to be operated in a system with pro-
fessional grounding of all connected devices and mounting
surfaces to the same ground potential. If this condition is not
met, potential equalization currents may through along the
cable shields, causing the following hazards:
• Dangerous contact voltage on the metal housing
• Malfunction or destruction of the TiM
• Heating of the cables with possible spontaneous combus-
tion.
>See the "Electrical Installation" chapter in the &Technical
Information (Nr. 8015883) on the product website (www.
mysick.com/en/tim5xx) for measures for eliminating
hazards.
Scope of delivery
• TiM including mounting kit 1 (two straight plates, 2
M3 x 4 mm screws)
• Printed operating instructions in German and English, in
other languages, as necessary.
• Other optional accessories (if these have been ordered)
Maintenance and care
The TiM does not contain any components that require main-
tenance. Maintenance is not necessary to ensure compliance
with laser class 1.
>If it is dirty, clean the infrared light permeable, black
optical hood for optimal measurement/detection perfor-
mance. Do this carefully using a damp cloth (with a mild
cleaning agent).
