Safety instructions

Proper use
Load cells of the PWSE 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 specifications and with the safety requirements and regulations of these
mounting instructions. 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 section: "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 following limits set out in the specifications must not be
exceeded, e.g.:
 Limit load
 Limit load at max. eccentricity
 Limit lateral loading
 Breaking loads
 Temperature limits
 Limits of electrical loading capacity
Note that, when several load cells are installed in a scale, there is not always
an even distribution 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 limits" 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.
