Safety instructions

In cases where a breakage could injure persons or damage equipment, the
user must take appropriate safety measures (such as safety devices to
protect against falls, collapses or overloads). For safe and trouble-free
operation, load cells 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.
Intended use
Load cells are designed for metrological applications. Use for any additional
purpose shall be deemed to be not as intended.
In the interests of safety, load cells 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 can be used as machine elements (for tank weighing, for example).
In these situations, you must make sure that for greater sensitivity, the load
cells are not constructed with the customary safety factors found in machine
design. Load cells are not safety elements within the meaning of appropriate
use. The layout of the electronics conditioning the measurement signal should
be such that measurement signal failure does not cause damage.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
Load cells are state-of-the-art and reliable. Load cells 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 load cell
must have read and understood the Mounting Instructions and in particular
the technical safety instructions.
