WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
