Intended use
Load cells of the PWS type series are designed for technical weighing applica­
tions within the load limits detailed in the specifications. Any other use is not
the designated use.
The load cells may only be installed by qualified personnel in compliance with
the specifications and with the safety requirements and regulations of these
mounting instructions. It is also essential to observe the applicable legal and
safety regulations for the application concerned. The same applies to the use
of accessories.
Load cells are not intended for use as safety components. Please also refer to
the section: "Additional safety precautions". Proper and safe operation of the
load cells requires proper transportation, correct storage, siting and mounting,
and careful operation.
Load-carrying capacity limits
The data in the technical data sheet must be complied with when using the
load cells. In particular, the respective maximum loads specified must never be
exceeded. The following limits set out in the specifications must not be
exceeded, e.g.:
S Limit load
S Limit load at max. eccentricity
S Limit lateral loading
S Breaking loads
S Temperature limits
S Limits of electrical loading capacity
Note that, when several load cells are installed in a scale, there is not always
an even distribution of load on the individual load cells.
