2.3 Intended use
The device has been designed and constructed exclusively for the intended use described here.
Series EGSHJ 2 electronic overspeed switches are used for speed monitoring, for instance of electrical
and mechanical drives, hoisting gear, and conveying machines.
The electronic overspeed switch EGSHJ 2 is a overspeed switch, which generates a switching signal
for a superior control system. This is realized with opening of a switch contact. As an alternative to this
function, the device can also be used for zero speed detection. Not in addition.
Claims of any type due to damage arising from non-intended use are excluded; the owner bears sole
responsibility for non-intended use.
2.4 Improper use
Do not use the device in potentially explosive areas.
The device must not be subjected to mechanical loads in addition to its own weight and unavoidable
vibration and shock loads that arise during normal operations.
Examples for non-permitted mechanical loads (incomplete list):
Fastening transport or lifting tackle to the device, for example a crane hook to lift a motor.
Fastening packaging components to the device, for example ratchet straps, tarpaulins etc.
Using the device as a step, for example by people to climb onto a motor.
2.5 Personal protective equipment
For tasks such as assembly, disassembly or commissioning the use of personal protective equipment
such as safety footwear and protective work clothing is required.
The regulations specified by the owner and that are locally specified apply.

DANGER!
Life-threatening danger due to electrical shock!
There is an imminent life-threatening hazard if live parts are touched. Damage to
insulation or to specific components can pose a life-threatening hazard.
Therefore:
Immediately switch off the device and have it repaired if there is damage to the insulation
of the power supply.
De-energize the electrical equipment and ensure that all components are connected for
all tasks on the electrical equipment.
Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can cause short circuits.
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to rotating shafts and hot surfaces!
Touching rotating shafts can cause serious injuries.
Therefore:
Do not reach into moving parts/shafts or handle moving parts/shafts during operation.
Close to protect from injury all access openings in flanges with the corresponding plug
screw, and provided you exposed rotating components with protective covers.
Do not open covers during operation. Prior to opening the covers ensure that all parts
have come to a zero speed.
The encoder can become hot during prolonged use.
In case of contact risk of burns is existing.
DANGER!
Life-threatening danger if restarted without authorization!
When correcting faults there is danger of the power supply being switched on without
authorization.
This poses a life-threatening hazard for persons in the danger zone.
Therefore:
Prior to starting work, switch off the system and safeguard it from being switched on again.
