Safety instructions for using weighing sensors

　　Load CellIf damage can cause equipment damage and endanger personal safety, users must take appropriate safety measures (such as safety devices to prevent falling, collapsing, or overloading). For safe and trouble-free operation, the weighing sensor must not only be transported, stored, positioned, and installed correctly, but also be carefully operated and maintained. During the use of weighing sensors, relevant accident prevention regulations must be followed, especially considering the limit loads referenced in the specifications.

1、 Appropriate use

The weighing sensor is designed for metrological applications. It should be considered inappropriate for any other purpose.

For safety reasons, the load cell can only be operated according to the instructions in the installation instructions. During use, it is also necessary to comply with the relevant legal and safety requirements of the application. This also applies to the use of attachments.

Load cells can be used as machine components (such as for container and silo weighing). In these cases, you must ensure that in order to achieve higher sensitivity, the construction of the load cell does not comply with the common safety factors in machine design. The weighing sensor is not a safety component within the scope of appropriate use. The layout of electronic equipment for adjusting measurement signals should ensure that failure of the measurement signal does not cause damage.
　

2、 General hazards of not following safety instructions

The weighing sensor is the most advanced and reliable. If untrained personnel install and operate the load cell improperly, it may cause residual hazards.

All personnel involved in the selection, start-up, maintenance, or repair of weighing sensors must read and understand the installation instructions, especially the technical safety instructions.

3、 Remaining danger

The supply scope and performance of weighing sensors only cover a small part of weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers, and operators should plan, implement, and respond to safety engineering considerations for weighing technology to minimize residual hazards. It is necessary to always comply with current regulations.

Reference must be made to residual hazards related to weighing techniques.
