ELECTRICAL CONNECTION LX-PA Measurement range from 250 mm 3 ACCESSORY MOUNTING KIT LX-Mount WARNING NOTICES • Don’t let the rope snap back. If the rope is retracted freely, this may lead to injuries (whiplash effect) and the device may be damaged. Caution when unhooking and retracting the rope into the sensor. • Never exceed the specified measurement range when extracting the rope! • Do not try to open the device. The stored energy of the spring drive may lead to injuries when being mishandled. • Do not touch the rope when operating the sensor. • Avoid guiding the rope over edges or corners....
