SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4
Additional safety precautions
The force transducers cannot (as passive transducers) implement any (safety‐relevant)
cutoffs. This requires additional components and constructive measures for which the
installer 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 layout of the electronics conditioning the measurement signal should be such that
measurement signal failure does not cause damage.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The force transducers are state‐of‐the‐art and reliable. Transducers can give rise to resid­
ual dangers if they are incorrectly operated or inappropriately mounted, installed and op­
erated 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 regulations (BG safety and accident prevention regulations) when
using the force transducers. Force transducers can break, particularly in the case of over­
loading. The breakage of a force transducer 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 consider­
ations of force measurement technology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers.
On‐site regulations must be complied with at all times.
Warns of a potentially dangerous situation in which failure to comply with safety require­
ments could result in death or serious physical injury.
