Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that acids and all materials which release
(chlorine) ions will attack all grades of stainless steel and their welding seams. This may
result in corrosion which can lead to the failure of the load cell. In such cases the opera­
tor must take appropriate safety measures.
Prohibition of own conversions and modifications
The load cells 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 load cells are only to be installed by qualified personnel strictly in accordance with
the specifications and with the safety rules and regulations which follow. It is also essen­
tial 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 func­
tion.
