SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that all materials 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.
With environmental conditions that cannot be clearly defined, HBK recommends to pro­
vide the load cells and weighing modules with a protective coating which matches these
conditions (after mounting) in order to prevent the influence of aggressive media. Please
take into account the resistance of the cable material and the mounting parts.
Prohibition of own conversions and modifications
The weighing modules must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point
of view except with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liability on
our part for any damage resulting therefrom.
Qualified personnel
These weighing modules are only to be installed by qualified personnel strictly in
accordance with the technical data and with the safety rules and regulations which
follow. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety regulations for the
application concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Qualified personnel means persons entrusted with the installation, fitting, commissioning
and operation of the product who possess the appropriate qualifications for their
function.
Accident prevention
Although the specified nominal capacity in the destructive range is several times the full
scale value, the relevant accident prevention regulations from the trade associations
must be taken into consideration.
