SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Proper use
Load cells of the PW15B... type series are designed for technical weighing applications
within the load limits detailed in the specifications. Any other use is not the designated
use.
The load cells may only be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with the spe­
cifications and with the safety requirements and regulations of these mounting instruc­
tions. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regulations for the
application concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Load cells are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer to the sec­
tion: "Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe operation of the load cells requires
proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Loading capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the load cells. In
particular, the respective maximum loads specified must never be exceeded. The follow­
ing limits set out in the specifications must not be exceeded, e.g.:
S
Limit load
S
Limit load at max. eccentricity
S
Limit lateral loading
S
Breaking loads
S
Temperature limits
S
Limits of electrical loading capacity
Note that, when several load cells are installed in a scale, there is not always an even dis­
tribution of load on the individual load cells.
Use as a machine element
The load cells can be used as machine elements. When used in this manner, it must be
noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the load cell is not designed with the safety factors
usual in mechanical engineering. Please refer here to the section "Loading capacity lim­
its" and to the specifications.
Accident prevention
The prevailing accident prevention regulations must be taken into account, even though
the maximum capacity values in the destructive range are well in excess of the full scale
value.
