1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use in accordance with the regulations
Force transducers in the U3 range are designed for force measurements on test
benches/in press‐fit devices/test devices/pressing. Use for any additional purpose shall
be deemed to be not in accordance with the regulations.
In the interests of safety, the transducer 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.
The transducer is not a safety element within the meaning of its use as intended. Proper
and safe operation of this transducer requires proper transportation, correct storage,
assembly and mounting and careful operation and maintenance.
General dangers due to non‐observance of the safety instructions
The U3 force transducer corresponds to the state of the art and is fail‐safe.
The transducers 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 transducer covers only a small area of force
measurement technique. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators should
plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of force measure
ment technique 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 con
nected with force measurement technique.
