3 Installation
Wiring and electrical characteristics: Ò Technical data and Ò Device marking
uProtect device and cable against destruction.
uAlways avoid rubbing the device with non-conductive materials.
uTo avoid electrostatic charging, ensure the equalisation of potential of metal parts (connector
housing, fixing elements, protective housing, etc.).
uDo not mount the device in the dust flow.
uAvoid dust deposits on the device.
uOnly open or close M12 fittings in a sufficiently clean environment.
uAvoid soiling of the connector area.
uIf the sensing direction is altered, ensure that the locking screw is securely tightened.
3.1 Special conditions for safe operation
The housing and housing parts made of plastic have been tested in accordance with EN 60079-0 for
group II and for a low mechanical risk with an impact energy of 4 joules.
uAvoid electrostatic charging on plastic housings and cables.
uAvoid direct exposure to high levels of UV light (sunlight). Mount the device in a protected place.
uUse ifm sockets EVC**A with Ex certificate (certificate number BVS 08 ATEX E 109 U).
uSecure the sockets by tightening the coupling nut sufficiently according to the requirements of the
socket.
uDo not separate the connector when energized.
uApply a durable warning in suitable form close to the connector reading: “Do not separate when
energized” or use the enclosed label to ensure a durable marking.
uOnly operate the device in an environment which ensures pollution degree 2 or higher according to
IEC 60991-1.
