Safety instructions

The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely
affect device functionality (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding
design", downloadable from the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided
(such as access checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in
such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut
down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so
that a line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the
bus interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the
automation device.
Appropriate use
The CFT piezoelectric force transducer is intended for compressive force
measurements in test benches, press‐fit processes, test and inspection
equipment and presses. Use for any additional purpose shall be deemed to
be not appropriate.
In the interests of safety, the transducer should only be operated as described
in the Mounting Instructions. It is also essential to comply with the legal and
safety requirements for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
The force transducer is not a safety element within the meaning of appropriate
use. For safe and trouble‐free operation, this transducer must not only be
correctly transported, stored, sited and mounted but must also be carefully
operated and maintained.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of
automation technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event
of a fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling,
limit value switches, etc.
