General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The C16i... load cell correspond to the state of the art and are fail‐safe. The
load cell can give rise to residual dangers if it is 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

Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the load cell covers only a small area
of weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and opera­
tors should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering consider­
ations of weighing technology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers.
Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times. There must be refer­
ence 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.
