SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Intended use
Force transducers in type series S9M are solely designed for measuring static and
dynamic tensile and/or compressive forces within the load limits specified by the specifi­
cations for the respective load limits. Any other use is not the intended use.
To ensure safe operation, always comply with the regulations in the mounting instruc­
tions, together with the following safety rules and regulations, and the data specified in
the technical data sheets. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and safety
regulations for the relevant application.
The force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer
to the "Additional safety precautions" section. Proper and safe operation of force trans­
ducers requires proper transportation, correct storage, setup and mounting, and careful
operation.
Operating personnel
Mounting and operation of the force transducer must only be carried out by fully qualified
personnel. Qualified personnel in this respect means persons entrusted with installing,
mounting, starting up and operating the product, who are familiar with the operation of
the force transducer and possess the appropriate qualifications for their function.
Load carrying capacity limits
The information in the technical data sheets must be complied with when using force
transducers. The respective specified maximum loads in particular must never be ex­
ceeded. The following limits set out in the technical data sheets must not be exceeded:
S
Limit loads
S
Lateral load limits and limit bending moments
S
Breaking loads
S
Permissible dynamic loads
S
Temperature limits
S
Limits of electrical loading capacity
When several force transducers are connected, it must be noted that the load/force distri­
bution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
Force transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this manner, it must
be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the force transducers were not designed with
the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering. Please refer here to the section
"Load-carrying capacity limits", and to the specifications.
