case of overloading. The breakage of a force transducer can cause damage to
property or injury to persons in the vicinity of the force transducer.
If force transducers are not used according to their designated use, or if the
safety instructions or specifications in the mounting and operating instructions
are ignored, it is also possible that the force transducer may fail or malfunction,
with the result that persons or property may be affected (due to the loads act
ing on or being monitored by the force transducer).
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small
area of force measurement technology, as measurements with (resistive) strain
gauge sensors presuppose the use of electronic signal conditioning. Equipment
planners, installers and operators should always plan, implement and respond
to the safety engineering considerations of force measurement technology in
such a way as to minimize residual dangers. Pertinent national and local regu
lations must be complied with.
