General safety precautions must be followed
when using this LLOYD INSTRUMENTS prod-
uct. Failure to observe precautions and warn-
ings may result in damage to the equipment, or

It is understood that safety rules within compa-
nies vary. If a conict exists between the mate-
rial contained in all LLOYD INSTRUMENTS’
User’s Guides and the rules of a company using
a LLOYD INSTRUMENTS product, the more
stringent rules should take precedence.
Safety Considerations
The LS is completely enclosed and provides no
potentially hazardous outputs. Safety consider-
ations are related to the power connections and
physical mountings.
Electronic and mechanical components housed
within the LS covers are to be serviced by
authorized LLOYD INSTRUMENTS’ representa-
tives only.

ments of the MSD 2006-42-EC will be depen-
dant on the industry, application, material (to be
tested), location (of the use), ect. the nal user
must take the necessary steps to ensure the
safety of the operator, other people, machine
and properties by providing guards, shields,
screen, adequate lighting, adequate ventilation,
ect. Furthermore, when the machine is installed,
wired and ready for its intended use the nal
user must conduct the nal Risk Assessment on
the machine, including all such safety measures
(shield, guard, etc.), to satisfy the requirements
of Machinery Directive and EHSR (Essential

When designing custom xtures!
Ensure xtures load ratings exceed the
LS load cell maximum load rating. I.e.
If load cell is 1kN the xtures must be
designed to exceed 1kN load.
