Use in accordance with the regulations
Torque transducer T21WN is used exclusively for torque and rotation speed
measurement tasks and control and adjustment tasks directly connected
thereto. Use for any additional purpose shall be deemed to be
not in
accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the transducer should only be operated as described
in the Operating Manual. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal
and safety regulations for the application concerned during use. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
The transducer is not a safety element within the meaning of its use as
intended. Proper and safe operation of this transducer requires proper trans­
portation, correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is fail‐safe. The
transducer can give rise to remaining dangers if it is inappropriately installed
and operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair
of the transducer must have read and understood the Operating Manual and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of torque measurement technique. In addition, equipment planners,
installers and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of torque measurement technique in such a way as
to minimise remaining dangers. Prevailing regulations must be complied with at
all times. Reference must be made to remaining dangers connected with
torque measurement technology.
