The load cells are not a safety element within the mean­
ing of its use in accordance 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.
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.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the load cells
covers only a small part of weighing technology. In
addition, equipment planners, installers and operators
should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of weighing technology in
such a way as to minimize residual dangers. Prevailing
regulations must be complied with at all times. There
must be reference to the residual dangers connected
with weighing technology.
Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that acids
and all materials which release (chlorine) ions will attack
all grades of stainless steel and their welding seams.
This may result in corrosion which can lead to the failure
of the load cell. In such cases the operator must take
appropriate safety measures.
Prohibition of own conversions and modifications
The load cells must not be modified from the design or
safety engineering point of view except with our express
