SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In cases where a breakage would cause injury to persons or damage to equipment, the
user must take appropriate safety measures (such as fall protection, overload protection,
etc.).
It is essential to comply with the relevant accident prevention regulations. In particular
you should take into account the limit loads quoted in the specifications.
Use in accordance with the regulations

additional purpose shall be deemed to be not in accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the weighing modules should only be operated as described in
the Mounting Instructions. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety
regulations for the application concerned during use. The same applies to the use of
accessories.

Proper and safe operation of this weighing module requires proper transportation,
correct storage, assembly and mounting and careful operation and maintenance.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The weighing modules correspond to the state of the art and are fail‐safe. The weighing
modules can give rise to residual dangers if they are inappropriately installed and
operated by untrained personnel.
Everyone involved with the installation, commissioning, maintenance or repair of a
weighing module must have read and understood the Mounting Instructions and in
particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the weighing modules covers only a small area
of weighing technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators should
plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of weighing
technology in such a way as to minimise residual dangers. Prevailing regulations must be
complied with at all times. There must be reference to the residual dangers connected
with weighing technology.
Environmental conditions
In the context of your application, please note that all materials which release chlorine
ions will attack all grades of stainless steel and their welding seams. In such cases the
operator must take appropriate safety measures.
