Safety instructions

Designated use
The force transducers in the type series S9M are solely designed for measur­
ing static and dynamic tensile and/or compressive forces within the load limits
specified by the technical data for the respective maximum capacities. Any
other use is not the designated use.
To ensure safe operation, the regulations in the assembly and operating in­
structions, together with the following safety rules and regulations, and the
data specified in the technical data sheets, must be complied with. It is also
essential to observe the applicable legal and safety regulations for the ap­
plication concerned.
The force transducers are not intended for use as safety components. Please
also refer to the section: "Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe op­
eration of the force transducer requires proper transportation, correct storage,
siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Operating personnel
Mounting and operation of the force transducer may only be carried out by
fully qualified personnel. Qualified personnel in this respect means persons
entrusted with siting, mounting, starting up and operating the product, who are
familiar with the operation of the force transducer and possess the appropriate
qualifications for their function.
Loading capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the
force transducer. In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must
never be exceeded. The following limits set out in the technical data sheets
must not be exceeded
• Load limits
• Lateral load limits
• Breaking loads
• Permissible dynamic loads
• Temperature limits
When several force transducers are connected, it must be noted that the load/
force distribution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
The force transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the force transducer
