SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or damage to equipment, the
user must take appropriate safety measures (e.g. safety devices to protect against falls,
collapses or overloads). For safe and trouble‐free operation, transducers must not only
be correctly transported, stored, sited and mounted but must also be carefully 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 specifications.
Designated use
The RSCC type transducers are designed for metrological applications. Use for any
additional purpose shall be deemed to be not as intended.
In the interests of safety, transducers should only be operated as described in the
Mounting Instructions. 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.
Load cells are not safety elements within the meaning of designated use. For safe and
trouble‐free operation, transducers must not only be correctly transported, stored, sited
and mounted but must also be carefully operated and maintained. Comply with the safety
instructions for explosion protection, where necessary.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The transducers are state‐of‐the‐art and reliable. Transducers can give rise to residual
dangers if they are inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with siting, starting‐up, maintaining or repairing a transducer must
have read and understood the mounting instructions and in particular the technical safety
instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small area of
weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators should
plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of the weighing
technology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers. On‐site regulations must be
complied with at all times. Reference must be made to the residual dangers associated
with the weighing technology.
