Safety instructions
Proper use
The SLB700A/06VA1 and SLB700A/06VA2 strain transducers are solely de-
signed for measuring static and dynamic strains within the load limits specified
by the technical data for the respective maximum capacities. Any other use is
not the designated use. The strain transducers work with force shunt mea-
surements. It is therefore necessary to screw the strain transducer to the
structure, on which strain is to be measured, in compliance with the specifica-
tions in these mounting instructions. The SLB700VA1 and SLB700VA2 strain
transducers are not suitable for force flow measurements.
To ensure safe operation, the regulations in the mounting 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, e.g. accident prevention regulations.
The 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
Limit strains,
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
The strain transducers can be used as machine elements. When used in this
manner, it must be noted that, to favor greater sensitivity, the strain transduc-
ers are not designed with the safety factors usual in mechanical engineering.
Please refer here to the section "Loading limits" and the technical data.
