Intended use
Load cells of the RTN... type series are designed for technical weighing
applications within the load limits detailed in the specifications. Any other use is
not the intended use.
The load cells may only be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with
the specifications and with the safety requirements and regulations of these
mounting instructions. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and
safety regulations for the application concerned. The same applies to the use
of accessories.
Load cells are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer to
the "Additional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation of the
load cells requires proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting,
and careful operation.
Load-carrying capacity limits
Comply with the data in the technical data sheets when using the load cells.
The respective specified maximum loads in particular must never be exceeded.
Do not exceed the values stated in the technical data sheets, for example, for
S limit load
S lateral load limiting
S breaking loads
S temperature limits
S limits of electrical load-carrying capacity
Note that when several load cells are installed in a scale, there is not always an
even load distribution on the individual load cells.
Use as machine elements
The load cells can be used as machine elements. When used in this manner, it
must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the load cell is not designed
with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering. Please refer to the
"Load-carrying capacity limits" section and the specifications.
