Safety instructions

Appropriate use
Load cells of the PW27P type series are designed for technical weighing
applications within the load limits stipulated in the specifications. Any other
use is not appropriate.
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 follow
the instructions in the "Additional 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
The data in the technical data sheets must be complied with when using the
load cells. In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must never
be exceeded. The values stated in the technical data sheets must not be
exceeded, for example, for
 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 "Load carrying 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.
