SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Intended use
Load cells of the PW15AH... type series are designed for technical weighing applications
within the load limits detailed in the specifications. Any other use is not the intended use.
The load cells may only be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with the specifi­
cations 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 applica­
tion concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Load cells are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer to the "Addi­
tional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation of the load cells requires
proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Load-carrying capacity limits
Comply with the data in the technical data sheets when using the load cells. The respec­
tive specified maximum loads in particular must never be exceeded. Do not exceed the
values stated in the technical data sheets, for example, for
S
limit load
S
lateral load limiting
S
breaking loads
S
temperature limits
S
limits of electrical load-carrying capacity
Note that when several load cells are installed in a scale, there is not always an even load
distribution on the individual load cells.
Use as machine elements
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 to the "Load-carrying capacity limits" sec­
tion and to the specifications.
Accident prevention
The applicable accident prevention regulations from employers' liability insurance associ­
ations must be taken into account, even though the stated load in the destructive range is
well in excess of the full scale value.
