Safety instructions
4
The digital load cell is not a safety element within the
meaning of its use as intended. Proper and safe opera­
tion of this load cell requires proper transportation, cor­
rect storage, assembly and mounting and careful opera­
tion and maintenance.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the
safety instructions
The C16i... load cell correspond to the state of the art
and are fail‐safe. The load cell can give rise to residual
dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by
untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning,
maintenance or repair of a force transducer must have
read and understood the Mounting Instructions and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the load cell
covers only a small area of weighing technology. In addi­
tion, equipment planners, installers and operators should
plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering
considerations of weighing technology in such a way as
to minimize residual dangers. Prevailing regulations must
be complied with at all times. There must be reference to
the residual dangers connected with weighing technol­
ogy.
Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that all ma­
terials which release chlorine ions will attack all grades of
stainless steel and their welding seams. In such cases
the operator must take appropriate safety measures.
