Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions
In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or damage to equip­
ment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (such as fall protection,
overload protection, etc.). For safe and trouble‐free operation, the load cell has
to be correctly transported, stored, sited and installed and must also be care­
fully 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
The C16i... type digital load cell is conceived for weighing applications. Use for
any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the regu­
lations.
In the interests of safety, the load cell must 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.
Take into account the maximum limit loads given in the Technical data. The
technical data for the load cell applies within the specified load limits only.
The electronic system processing the measurement signal must be designed
such that no consequential damage is caused by the failure of the measure­
ment signal.
The load cell can be used as machine components. Please note that in these
cases, in order to achieve high sensitivity, the load cell has not been designed
with the safety factors normally applied in machine design.
The digital load cell is not a safety element within the meaning of its use as
intended. Proper and safe operation of this load cell requires proper transporta­
tion, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation and main­
tenance.
