General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
Load cells are state‐of‐the‐art and reliable. Load cells can
give rise to residual dangers if they are inappropriately
installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with siting, starting up, maintaining or
repairing a load cell 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 cells
covers only a small area of weighing technology. In
addition, equipment planners, installers and operators
should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of the weighing technology in
such a way as to minimize residual dangers. On‐site
regulations must be complied with at all times. Reference
must be made to the residual dangers associated with
the weighing technology.
Ambient conditions
With stainless steel single point load cells, please note
that acids and all materials which release ions will also
attack all grades of stainless steel and their welded
seams.
Should there be any corrosion, this could cause the load
cell to fail. If this is the case, the operator must take
appropriate protective measures.
