CAUTION: Safety Information
Since the elevation of loads might involve some hazards, the manufacturer and operator should consider
some precautious measures. The operation with the measuring device should never lead to hazardous
situations.
The person that is in-charge of the device and any operator must follow any national guidelines, e.g.
accident prevention regulations, safety regulations, standard operation procedures and any other
regulations that are relevant in terms of operation with the device.
There are also further guidelines, standards and safety regulations that must be considered regarding this
device, e.g. those of the manufacturer of the crane, manufacturer of the scale, manufacturer of the
shackle etc.
Thus the montage, initiation, maintenance and operation of the device is only permitted for a person with
special training and with the accordant safety equipment.
The measuring device cannot be alternated and must be applied only for the accordant applications.
The device and all the involved equipment (e.g. the crane, the load suspension means etc.) must run
through regular maintenance, which must be protocolled. At least a thorough visual inspection should be
performed prior to every operation. In case the system is incomplete or if there are any damages (e.g.
fractures, deformation, chippings etc.) any further operation of the device must be blocked immediately.
Therefore you should consult the safety delegate in your company.
Any kind of repairs should be performed by trained personnel. Therefore only tested repair parts should
be used. All repairs, any maintenance and integrated replacement parts must be documented by the
partnered service.
The instruction manual as well as the safety precautions should be always placed in reach near the
device.
The device is
not Ex- proved
. Thus it should not be installed within the reach of explosive hazardous
locations. The surrounding conditions, e.g. temperature ranges, can be read in the instruction manual.
Aggressive application ranges, for example locations that are hazardous for corrosion should be avoided.
In case of larger temperature fluctuations an acclimation period should be considered.
The measuring device is only allowed for the elevation and weighing of maneuverable load. A contortion
of the load (rotational tension) must be avoided. Carrying persons, diagonal pulling, tearing and towing of
the load is forbidden.
The permitted nominal load [MAX] of the measured good and all the equipment involved in the measuring
process (e.g. crane, load suspension means etc.) cannot be trespassed in any case.
During the operation of the device, all potential hazardous situations should be considered. During
operation avoid standing within the hazardous area. This might not only be the area right underneath the
elevated load, but also areas that might become hazardous, for example due to deflecting ropes or other
equipment after snapping off.
