•
Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
•
Connection, mounting, and configuration may only be performed by trained spe‐
cialists.
Should persons be placed at risk, or operating equipment potentially be damaged in
the event of a malfunction or failure of the device, this must be prevented by means of
suitable protective devices, e. g., emergency shutdown systems.
If the device is not functioning correctly, it must be taken out of operation and secured
against unauthorized operation.
To guarantee proper operation of the device, please observe the following:
•
Protect the device against mechanical stress during installation
•
Do not open the device
•
Connect the device with the correct polarity, supply voltage, and control pulses
•
Observe the permissible operating and ambient conditions for the device
•
Regularly check the device for correct operation and document the results
The MAX® linear encoder is designed for position measurements in mobile hydraulic
applications (e.g. in hydraulic cylinders) and can be used to control the hydraulic com‐
ponents of self-driving mobile machines. The rugged housing offers optimum protection
against dust, climatic influences, vibrations, surrounding media, as well as electrical
and magnetic fields.
The device is a component and must be connected to a suitable electronic control unit.
The MAX® linear encoder fulfills the requirements of the following EMC standards:
MAX30N:
•
EN ISO 14982:2009 and EN ISO 13766-1:2018
MAX48N/MAX48A/MAXH1A/F1A:
