8 Warnings

Irregular performed force measurements can lead to serious injuries of persons and
damages of objects. Out of this reason, they may only be conducted by trained and
experienced staff.
It has to be avoided, that forces, which are acting on the force gauge, are exceeding
the instrument's max. load (Max) or forces, which are not acting axially from the
external load cell to the instrument; or, if high impulse forces are acting on the
measuring instrument.
Please avoid any twisting of the load cell. This might lead to a breakage and, in any
case, measurement accuracy will decrease.
Inappropriate use
Do not use the instrument for medical measurements. In the case, that small
quantities are removed or added to the material to be measured, incorrect measuring
results can be displayed due to the "stability compensation" in the instrument.
(Example: liquid, slow draining off from a container suspended at the instrument).
Do not leave hanging a continuous load.
Overload
Be sure to prevent overloading the instrument beyond the stated maximum load
(max.), minus any tare weight that may possibly exist. This could damage the
instrument (risk of breakage).
Attention:
- Always make sure that there are no people or materials below the load that could
be injured or damaged!
- The instrument is not suitable for measuring people. Do not use it as baby scale!
- The instrument does not comply with the medical product law (MPG).
Never operate the instrument in hazardous locations. The series design is not
explosion-proof.
- Structural alterations may not be made to the instrument. This can lead to incorrect
measuring results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of
the instrument.
-The instrument may only be operated and maintained by trained staff.
- The instrument may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines.
- Varying ranges of application/ planned use must be approved by SAUTER in
writing.
