Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions
The C2A... load cells can be used as machine components (e.g. with container
weighing). In these cases please note that in order to obtain a high measure­
ment sensitivity the load cells have not been designed with the safety factors
usually encountered in machine design. If component fracture may lead to
damage to property or injury to persons, safety measures according to the rele­
vant accident prevention regulations (e.g. support against collapse, overload
protection) must be taken by the user.
In chapter 6 „Specifications", on page 13 we provide important details in this
respect, such as:
S save load limit,
S side load limit,
S breaking loads and
S permissible dynamic loads.
The electronic system processing the measurement signal should be designed
such that no consequential damage occurs as the result of a failure of the mea­
surement signal.
Use in accordance with the regulations
C2A... 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 load cells are not a safety element within the meaning of its use in accor­
dance with the regulations.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The C2A... 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.
