The following safety instructions bear relevance to the Modbus Pro and Modbus Lite:
- The Sensorbee Modbus and its sensors (sensing probes) must not be exposed to unnecessary mechanical stress.
- The Sensorbee Modbus electronics are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD); appropriate protective measures must be taken when touching it.
- Handle the Sensorbee Modbus sensors (sensing probes) with the necessary care, as described in their user manuals.
- Installing the Sensorbee Modbus must be performed by qualified personnel, including connecting to a power source, maintenance, and commissioning.
- Use the Sensorbee Modbus only as intended and observe all safety instructions.
- Do not use the Sensorbee Modbus in an explosive environment or to measure aggressive gases.
- This device must not be used in critical applications, like safety and emergency stop applications, where device malfunction or failure might cause injury to people (human beings), as the sensors are not designed to return time-sensitive data.
