Safety instructions

In cases where a breakage may cause injury to persons or damage to
equipment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (such as fall
protection, overload protection, etc.). Safe and trouble‐free operation of the
load cells requires proper transportation, correct storage, assembly and
mounting as well as careful operation and maintenance.
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident prevention regulations. In
particular you should take into account the limit loads quoted in the specifica­
tions.
Use in accordance with the regulations
HLC / BLC / ELC type load cells have been designed for weighing
applications. Use for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not in
accordance with the regulations.
To ensure safe operation, the load cells should only be used as described in
the Mounting Instructions. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal
and safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
The HLC / BLC / ELC load cells can be used as machine components (e.g.
with tank weighing). Please note in these cases that, in order to provide a
high sensitivity, the load cells have not been designed with the safety factors
normally applied in machine design. The load cell is not a safety element wit­
hin the meaning of its use in accordance with the regulations. The measuring
signal processing electronics has to be designed in such a way that with a
measuring signal failure no damages can occur.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The HLC / BLC / ELC load cells correspond to the state of the art and are
fail‐safe. The load cells can give rise to residual dangers if they are
inappropriately installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair
of a load cell must have read and understood the Mounting Instructions and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
