In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or damage to
equipment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (such as fall
protection, overload protection, etc.). For safe and trouble free operation, the
load cell must not only be correctly transported, stored, sited and installed 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
