A specialist is a person who successfully completed vocational training. The specialist must also
have knowledge of the applicable relevant standards and regulations. He/she must be able to
assess assigned work and, based on his/her professional training and work experience,
recognize and avoid potential hazards on his/her own.
The skilled electrician is a person in the sense of a specialist with special knowledge in the field
of electrical engineering (training in a recognized training occupation as a skilled worker, master
craftsman, industrial foreman, state-certified technician, graduate engineer, bachelor or master).

2.3 Residual risks
2.3.1 Danger from electrical energy
The sensor is connected to the power supply via a 24-volt power supply unit. When connecting
the power supply to the sensor, check to ensure that the cable is routed correctly.
Prior to starting maintenance work or disassembly, pull out the mains plug, thus disconnecting
the sensor from the power supply.
Ensure that the electrical equipment of the sensor is checked at regular intervals. Defects, such
as loose connections, rubbed or scorched cables, must be eliminated immediately by a skilled
electrician.
Switch off the sensor immediately in the event of malfunctions in the electrical power supply.
2.3.2 Danger from magnetism
Powerful magnets are used to secure the sensor on surfaces. These magnets generate
electromagnetic fields that can affect cardiac pacemakers and similar devices. This can cause
cardiac pacemakers to malfunction. The electromagnetic field affects devices in the immediate
vicinity in an area of about 0.5 meters around the sensor. Persons with cardiac pacemakers
should not be inside this area.
