SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Accident prevention
The prevailing accident prevention regulations must be taken into account, even though
the nominal (rated) force values in the destructive range are well in excess of the full
scale value.
Additional safety precautions
Force transducers cannot (as passive transducers) implement any safety-relevant cut­
offs. This requires additional components and constructive measures, for which the in­
staller and operator of the plant is responsible.
In cases where a breakage or malfunction of the force transducer would cause injury to
persons or damage to equipment, the user must take appropriate additional safety mea­
sures that meet at least the requirements of applicable safety and accident prevention
regulations (e.g. automatic emergency shutdown, overload protection, catch straps or
chains, or other fall protection).
The electronics conditioning the measurement signal should be designed so that mea­
surement signal failure does not subsequently cause damage.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
Force transducers are state-of-the-art and failsafe. There may be dangers involved if the
transducers are mounted, sited, installed and operated inappropriately, or by untrained
personnel. Every person involved with siting, starting-up, operating or repairing a force
transducer must have read and understood the mounting instructions and in particular
the technical safety instructions. The force transducers can be damaged or destroyed by
non-designated use of the force transducer or by non-compliance with the mounting and
operating instructions, these safety instructions or any other applicable safety regula­
tions (BG safety and accident prevention regulations) when using the force transducers.
Force transducers can break, particularly if overloaded. The breakage of a force trans­
ducer can also 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 in­
structions 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 per­
sons or property may be affected (due to the loads acting 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 gage sensors presup­
pose the use of electronic signal processing. In addition, equipment planners, installers
and operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety
engineering considerations of force measurement technology in such a way as to mini­
mize residual dangers. Pertinent national and local regulations must be complied with.
