Safety instructions

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 has to be correctly transported, stored, sited and installed and 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 specifica-
tions.
Use in accordance with the regulations
The C16i... type digital load cell is conceived for weighing applications. Use
for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the
regulations.
In the interests of safety, the load cell must only be operated 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 ap-
plies to the use of accessories.
Take into account the maximum limit loads given in the Technical data. The
technical data for the load cell applies within the specified load limits only.
The electronic system processing the measurement signal must be designed
such that no consequential damage is caused by the failure of the measure-
ment signal.
The load cell can be used as machine components. Please note that in these
cases, in order to achieve high sensitivity, the load cell has not been designed
with the safety factors normally applied in machine design.
The digital load cell is not a safety element within the meaning of its use as in-
tended. Proper and safe operation of this load cell requires proper transporta-
tion, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation and main-
tenance.
General dangers due to non-observance of the safety instructions
The C16i... load cell correspond to the state of the art and are fail-safe. The
load cell can give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and
operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair
of a force transducer must have read and understood the Mounting Instruc-
tions and in particular the technical safety instructions.
