2. Safety and operating instructions
Supplementary information
• This manual is intended as a supplement to already existing documentation (e.g. catalogue, product
information and mounting instruction).
• The manual must be carefully read prior to initial commissioning of the equipment.
Intended purpose of the equipment
• The inclination sensor is a precision sensing device. It is expressly used to determine inclination
angles and to prepare and supply measured values in the form of electrical output signals for the
downstream device. The inclination sensor must not be used for any other purpose.
Commissioning
• The inclination sensor may only be installed and mounted by qualified experts.
• Observe the operating instructions of the machine manufacturer.
Safety precautions
• Prior to commissioning the equipment, check all electrical connections.
• If installation, electrical connection or any other work performed at the inclination sensor or at the
equipment is not correctly executed, this can result in malfunction or failure of the inclination sensor.
• Steps must be taken to exclude any risk of personal injury, damage to operating or corporate
equipment as a result of an inclination sensor malfunction by providing suitable safety precautions.
• The inclination sensor must not be operated outside the limits (see detailed product information).
Failure to comply with the safety instructions can result in malfunctions, personal injury or damage to
property!
Transport and storage
• Only ever transport or store the inclination sensor in its original packaging.
• Never drop the inclination sensor or expose it to major shocks.
Mounting
• Avoid impacts or shocks on the housing.
• The bus cover must fully rest against the base plate when mounted. Any tolerances in assembling the
bus cover onto the base plate may have a negative impact on the absolute inclination angle.
Electrical commissioning
• Do not proceed any electrical modifications at the inclination sensor.
• Do not carry out any wiring work when the inclination sensor is live.
• Never plug or unplug the electrical connection when the inclination sensor is live.
• Make sure that the entire system is installed in line with EMC requirements. Ambient installations and
cabling affect the electromagnetic compatibility of the inclination sensor. Install inclination sensor and
supply cables separately or far away from cables with high interference emissions (frequency
converters, contactors, etc).
• Arrange for separate power supply of the inclination sensor where working with consumers that have
high interference emissions.
• Completely shield the inclination sensor housing and connecting cable.
• Connect the inclination sensor to protective earth (PE) using shielded cable. The braided shield must
be connected to the cable gland or plug. Ideally, aim at bilateral connection to protective earth (PE),
the housing via the mechanical assembly, the cable shield via the downstream devices. In case of
earth loop problems, earth on one side only as a minimum requirement.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in malfunctions, personal injury or damage to property!
