8.11 Handling and Transport
While handling, storing and transporting keep sensor away from magnetic and electromagnetic fields
which may exceed the allowed maximum range of EMC listed in Section 3.0, “Technical Characteristics of
the Sensor.”
8.12 Precautions
• Do not open the sensor under any circumstances.
• Do not remove or loosen the locking rings on the shaft ends.
• The mounting nut of the socket as well as the fixing screws should not be loosened or tightened.
• Use only a separate power supply for the sensor
• Use the sensor only according to the specification (Section 3.0 - Technical Characteristics of the
Sensor).
• Keep the sensor away from magnetic and electromagnetic fields which may exceed the allowed
maximum range of EMC (Section 3.0 - Technical Characteristics of the Sensor)
• The sensor is not designed as a step bearing. The existing fixing possibilities serve exclusively for
preventing the sensor from distortion.
9.0 CALIBRATION AND ACCURACY CLASS
The exact data about the sensor is given in the enclosed factory calibration certificate. Except the sensor
type this certificate also contains the exact calibration data. Each sensor has its own calibration value
