Safety instructions

HLC / BLC / ELC
In cases where a breakage may cause injury to persons
or damage to equipment, the user must take appropriate
safety measures (such as fall protection, overload protec­
tion, etc.). Safe and trouble‐free operation of the load
cells requires proper transportation, correct storage,
assembly and mounting as well as careful operation and
maintenance.
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.
Use in accordance with the regulations
HLC / BLC / ELC type load cells have been designed for
weighing applications. Use for any additional purpose
shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the regula­
tions.
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 reg­
ulations for the application concerned during use. The
same applies to the use of accessories.
The HLC / BLC / ELC load cells can be used as machine
components (e.g. with tank weighing). Please note in
these cases that, in order to provide a high sensitivity,
the load cells have not been designed with the safety
factors normally applied in machine design. The load cell
is not a safety element within the meaning of its use in
accordance with the regulations. The measuring signal
processing electronics has to be designed in such a way
that with a measuring signal failure no damages can
occur.
