Safety instructions

C16i
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 protec­
tion, etc.). For safe and trouble‐free operation, the load
cell has to be correctly transported, stored, sited and
installed and must also be carefully operated and main­
tained.
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident pre­
vention regulations. In particular you should take into
account the limit loads quoted in the specifications.
Use in accordance with the regulations
The C16i... type digital load cell is conceived for weighing
applications. Use for any additional purpose shall be
deemed to be not in accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the load cell must only be oper­
ated 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.
Take into account the maximum limit loads given in the
Technical data. The technical data for the load cell
applies within the specified load limits only.
The electronic system processing the measurement sig­
nal must be designed such that no consequential dam­
age is caused by the failure of the measurement signal.
The load cell can be used as machine components.
Please note that in these cases, in order to achieve high
sensitivity, the load cell has not been designed with the
safety factors normally applied in machine design.
