General notes for all sensors
Always observe local installation
and safety regulations.
Do not install sensors so that they protrude in
any direction, and do not suspend them below
the horizontal.
Ensure that they are protected against damage
and vandalism and will not cause injury.
Be aware of the effects of orientation on the
functioning of the sensor.
Always determine the following before mounting:
■ Min./max. ambient temperature
■ Ambient humidity and exposure to
spray water
■ Exposure to vibration
■ Explosion protection
■ External influences
