Safety instructions
10
•
Automation equipment and devices must be designed
in such a way that adequate protection or locking
against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g.
access checks, password protection, etc.).
•
For those devices operating in networks, safety pre-
cautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and
software, so that a line break or other interruptions to
signal transmission do not cause undefined states or
loss of data in the automation device.
•
After making settings and carrying out activities that
are password-protected, ensure that any controls that
may be connected remain in a safe condition until the
switching performance of the device has been tested.
Additional safety precautions
Additional safety precautions that meet the requirements
of the applicable national and local accident prevention
regulations must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal
injury.
The scope of supply and performance of the device
covers only a small area of measurement and weighing
technology. Before starting up the device in a system, a
project planning and risk analysis must first be imple-
mented, taking into account all the safety aspects of mea-
surement and automation technology so that residual
risks are minimized. This particularly concerns personal
and machine protection. In the event of a fault, appro-
priate precautions must establish safe operating condi-
tions.
