Risk Of Accident; Damage / Defective Equipment; Accuracy - sauter FS Series Manual

4.3 Risk of accident

Observe the national accident prevention regulations. Incorrect use of the
equipment can lead to serious injuries, death, property damage and personal
injury. Use may only be carried out by trained and experienced personnel.
Never load load cells and force gauges beyond the Emax range (nominal load, max.
capacity) of the sensor used. Overloaded load cells no longer have the required
accuracy. Overloaded or deformed load cells must not be used any longer and must
be replaced immediately. Never step under suspended loads. Always fit overload or
breakage protection devices to your system. Always observe the permissible static and
dynamic loads of the accessories you are using.
Check measuring cells regularly for deformations and cracks.
Shocks, vibrations and torsion on the force application bolt can damage the sensor!
Only transport the unit in the transport case supplied!

4.4 Damage / defective equipment

Do not use damaged measuring instruments, cables, plug-in power supplies or similar!
Contact the service department of the dealer or manufacturer.
Do not ship units with defective batteries! Pack devices with defective
batteries in suitable fireproof containers. Contact the service department of
the specialist dealer or manufacturer.

4.5 Accuracy

Have force gauges and load cells calibrated at regular intervals. Load the load cell only
in its specified load direction. Avoid transverse forces. For load cells with a 4-wire
connection, the characteristic value changes when the cable supplied is shortened or
lengthened.
