Safety instructions

The load cells can be used as machine components (e.g. with container weig-
hing). Please note in these cases that, in order to provide a high sensitivity,
the transducer is not designed with a safety factor which is normally applied in
machine design. In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or
damage to equipment, the user must take appropriate safety measures (such
as fall protection, overload protection, etc.). For safe and trouble−free opera-
tion, load cells must not only be correctly transported, stored, sited and
installed but must also be carefully operated and maintained.
In particular please take account of the following details given in Chapter
"Specifications":
• Safe load limits,
• Lateral load limits,
• Breaking loads and
• permissible dynamic loads.
The electronic system processing the measurement signal should be desi-
gned such that no consequential damage occurs as the result of failure of the
measurement signal.
