Safety instructions

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 operation,
weighing modules must not only be correctly transported, stored, sited and
installed but must also be carefully operated and maintained.
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident prevention regulations. In
particular you should take into account the limit loads quoted in the specifica­
tions.
Use in accordance with the regulations
C16M... type weighing modules 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 weighing modules 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 weighing modules are not safety elements within the meaning of its use
as intended. Proper and safe operation of this load cell requires proper
transportation, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation
and maintenance.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The weighing modules correspond to the state of the art and are fail‐safe. The
weighing modules 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 weighing modules 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 minimise residual
dangers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times. There must
be reference to the residual dangers connected with weighing technology.
