Safety instructions
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The C2 load cells correspond to the state of the art and are fail‐safe. The load
cells can give rise to residual dangers if they are inappropriately installed and
operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair
of a force transducer must have read and understood the Mounting Instructions
and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the load cells covers only a small
area of weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering
considerations of weighing technology in such a way as to minimize residual
dangers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times. There must
be reference to the residual dangers connected with weighing technology.
Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that all materials which release
chlorine ions will attack all grades of stainless steel and their welding seams. In
such cases the operator must take appropriate safety measures.
Prohibition of own conversions and modifications
The load cells 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.
Qualified personnel
These load cells are only to be installed by qualified personnel strictly in
accordance with the technical data and with the safety rules and regulations
which follow. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety
regulations for the application concerned. The same applies to the use of
accessories.
Qualified personnel means persons entrusted with the installation, fitting,
commissioning and operation of the product who possess the appropriate
qualifications for their function.
