Safety instructions

Appropriate use
Transducers of the FIT5A type series are designed solely for technical weigh­
ing applications within the application limits detailed in the specifications. Any
other use is not appropriate.
Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning or operation of
the transducer must have read and understood the Operating Manual and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
In the interests of safety, the transducer should only be operated by qualified
personnel and as described in the Operating Manual. It is also essential to
comply with the legal and safety requirements for the application concerned
during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
The transducer is not intended for use as a safety component. Please also
refer to the "Additional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation
requires proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting, and care­
ful operation.
Operating conditions
S Please observe the permissible maximum values stated in the specifica­
tions for:
- Limit load
- Limit load at max. eccentricity
- Limit lateral loading
- Breaking loads
- Temperature limits
- Limits of electrical load-carrying capacity
S Please note that when several transducers are installed in a scale, there is
not always an even distribution of load on the individual transducers.
S The transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the transducer is
not designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering.
