PW15A... Single point load cells
Safety instructions
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 correctly transported,
stored, sited and mounted but must also be carefully operated and
maintained.
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident prevention regulations. In
particular you should take into account 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 operated as described in
the Mounting Instructions. It is also essential to comply with the legal and
safety requirements for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
Load cells can be used as machine elements (for container and silo weighing,
for example). In these situations, 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
measurement signal should be such that measurement signal failure does not
cause damage.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
Load cells are state of the art and reliable. Load cells can give rise to
remaining dangers if they are inappropriately installed and operated by
untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with siting, starting up, maintaining or repairing a load cell
must have read and understood the Mounting Instructions and in particular
the technical safety instructions.
