NO
2006/42/EC
Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
SAFETY
■
Do not install the sensor at locations that are exposed to direct UV radiation
(sunlight) or other weather influences, unless this is expressly permitted in the
operating instructions.
When commissioning, protect the device from moisture and contamination.
■
These operating instructions contain information required during the life cycle of
■
the sensor.
The device shall be supplied from an isolating transformer having a secondary overcur‐
rent protective device that complies with UL 248 to be installed in the field rated either:
a)
max 5 amps for voltages 0 ~ 20 V (0 ~ 28.3 V peak), or
b)
100 / Vp for voltages of 20 ~ 30 V (28.3 ~ 42.4 V peak).
Alternatively, they can be supplied from a Class 2 power supply.
UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1
The MultiPulse sensor is an opto-electronic photoelectric proximity sensor with back‐
ground suppression (referred to as "sensor" or "product" in the following) for the
optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and persons.
The MultiPulse sensor features self-monitoring when the object is detected. The output
of the sensor oscillates at 2 Hz / 10 Hz (depends on variant) during object detection.
The sensor alone is not a safety component in terms of the Machinery Directive. If it is
integrated in a safety solution, a responsible organization (e.g. TÜV) can approve it.
If the product is used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim
against SICK AG shall become void.
