Safety instructions

In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or damage to
equipment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (e.g. safety
devices to protect against falls, collapses or overloads). For safe and
trouble‐free operation, transducers 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.
Designated use
The RSCC type transducers are designed for metrological applications. Use
for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not as intended.
In the interests of safety, transducers 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 are not safety elements within the meaning of designated use. For
safe and trouble‐free operation, transducers must not only be correctly
transported, stored, sited and mounted but must also be carefully operated
and maintained. Comply with the safety instructions for explosion protection,
where necessary.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The transducers are state‐of‐the‐art and reliable. Transducers 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
transducer must have read and understood the mounting instructions and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering
considerations of the weighing technology in such a way as to minimize
residual dangers. On‐site regulations must be complied with at all times.
Reference must be made to the residual dangers associated with the
weighing technology.
