Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions
The load cells can be used as machine components (e.g. with container weigh­
ing). Please note in these cases that, in order to provide a high sensitivity, the
transducer is not designed with a safety factor which is normally applied in ma­
chine design. In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or
damage to equipment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (such
as fall protection, overload protection, etc.). For safe and trouble-free opera­
tion, load cells must not only be correctly transported, stored, sited and
installed but must also be carefully operated and maintained.
In particular please take account of the following details given in chapter 7
Specifications, on page 13:
S Safe load limits,
S Lateral load limits,
S Breaking loads and
S Permissible dynamic loads.
The electronic system processing the measurement signal should be designed
such that no consequential damage occurs as the result of failure of the mea­
surement signal.
Use in accordance with the regulations
C2 load cells are conceived for weighing applications. Use for any additional
purpose shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the load cells should only be operated as described in
the Mounting Instructions. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal
and safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
The load cells are not safety elements within the meaning of its use as
intended. Proper and safe operation of this transducer requires proper
transportation, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation
and maintenance.
