Appropriate use
The K148 calibration unit must only be used to calibrate strain‐gauge bridge
measuring amplifiers. Use for any purpose other than the above shall be
deemed to be inappropriate. In the interests of safety, the device should only
be operated as described in the Operating Manuals. 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.
Each time, before starting up the equipment, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of
automation technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine
protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions could
cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event of a
fault, these precautions establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, limit
value switches, etc.
