Safety instructions

C2A/..., C2A/.../Exd
The C2A... load cells can be used as machine compo­
nents (e.g. with container weighing). In these cases
please note that in order to obtain a high measurement
sensitivity the load cells have not been designed with the
safety factors usually encountered in machine design. If
component fracture may lead to damage to property or
injury to persons, safety measures according to the rele­
vant accident prevention regulations (e.g. support against
collapse, overload protection) must be taken by the user.
In chapter 6 „Specifications", on page 13 we provide
important details in this respect, such as:
S save load limit,
S side load limit,
S breaking loads and
S permissible dynamic loads.
The electronic system processing the measurement
signal should be designed such that no consequential
damage occurs as the result of a failure of the measure­
ment signal.
Use in accordance with the regulations
C2A... type load cells have been designed for weighing
applications. Use for any additional purpose shall be
deemed to be not in accordance with the regulations.
To ensure safe operation, the load cells should only be
used as described in the Mounting Instructions. It is also
essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety
regulations for the application concerned during use. The
same applies to the use of accessories.
