Safety instructions

SP4M
In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons
or damage to equipment, the user must take appropriate
safety measures (such as safety devices to protect
against falls, collapses or overloads). For safe and
trouble‐free operation, load cells must not only be cor­
rectly transported, stored, sited and mounted but must
also be carefully operated and maintained.
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident pre­
vention regulations. In particular you should take into ac­
count the limit loads quoted in the specifications.
Appropriate use
Load cells are designed for metrological applications.
Use for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be not
appropriate.
In the interests of safety, load cells should only be oper­
ated as described in the Mounting Instructions. It is also
essential to comply with the legal and safety require­
ments for the application concerned during use. The
same applies to the use of accessories.
Load cells can be used as machine elements (for con­
tainer and silo weighing, for example). In these situa­
tions, you must make sure that for greater sensitivity, the
load cells are not constructed with the customary safety
factors found in machine design. Load cells are not
safety elements within the meaning of appropriate use.
The layout of the electronics conditioning the measure­
ment signal should be such that measurement signal fail­
ure does not cause damage.
