Safety Instructions

Appropriate use
SLB700A strain transducers are designed purely to measure static and dy­
namic strains within the load limits detailed in the specifications. Any other
use is not the designated use. Strain transducers work by force shunt mea­
surement. It is therefore necessary to bolt the strain transducers to the
construction in which the strains are to be measured, as specified in these
mounting instructions. SLB700A strain transducers are not suitable for force
flow measurement.
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, such as the prevailing accident prevention regulations.
Strain 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 strain transducer requires proper transportation, correct storage,
siting and mounting, and careful operation.
Load limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the
strain 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
• strain limits,
• breaking strains,
• permissible dynamic strains,
• temperature limits,
• limits of electrical loading capacity.
Please note that when several strain transducers are interconnected, the
strain distribution is not always uniform.
Use as a machine element
Strain transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the strain transducer
cannot be designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering.
Please refer to the "Load limits" section and the specifications.
