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 force transducer 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 ma­
terials 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.
With environmental conditions that cannot be clearly de­
fined, HBM recommends to provide the load cells and
weighing modules with a protective coating which
matches these conditions (after mounting) in order to
prevent the influence of aggressive media. Please take
into account the resistance of the cable material and the
mounting parts.
