Safety instructions
breakage of a force transducer can cause damage to property or injury to per­
sons in the vicinity of the force transducer.
If force transducers are not used as intended, or if the safety instructions or
specifications in the mounting and operating instructions are ignored, it is also
possible that a force transducer may fail or malfunction, with the result that per­
sons may be injured or property damaged (due to the loads acting on or being
monitored by the force transducer).
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of force measurement technology, as measurements with (resistive) strain
gage sensors presuppose the use of electronic signal processing. Equipment
planners, installers and operators should always plan, implement and respond
to the safety engineering considerations of force measurement technology in
such a way as to minimize residual dangers. Pertinent national and local regu­
lations must be complied with.
Conversions and modifications
The transducer must not be modified from the design or safety engineering
point of view except with our express agreement. Any modification shall
exclude all liability on our part for any damage resulting therefrom.
Maintenance
The force transducers of the U2B series are maintenance free.
Disposal
In accordance with national and local environmental protection and material
recovery and recycling regulations, old transducers that can no longer be used
must be disposed of separately and not with normal household garbage.
If you need more information about disposal, please contact your local authori­
ties or the dealer from whom you purchased the product.
Qualified personnel
