Safety and Caution Symbols
Caution:
Injury Risk for Persons
Damage of the Device is possible.
Note:
Important points to be considered.
Intended Use
Torque sensors are intended for the measurement of torques. The valid safety regulations should be absolutely
respected. The torque sensors are not safety components in the sense of the intended use. The sensors need to be
transported and stored appropriately. The assembly, commissioning and disassembling must take place
professionally.
Dangers
The torque sensor is fail-safe and corresponds to the state of technology.
Neglecting of Safety Notes
At inappropriate use, remaining dangers can emerge (e.g. by untrained personnel). The operation manual must be
read and understood by each person entrusted with the assembly, maintenance, repair, operation and
disassembly of the torque sensor.
Remaining Dangers
The plant designer, the supplier, as well as the operator must plan, realize and take responsibility for safety-related
interests for the sensor. Remaining dangers must be minimized. Remaining dangers of the torque measurement
technique must be pointed out.
Human mistakes must be considered. The construction of the plant must be suitable for the avoidance of dangers. A
danger-analysis for the plant must be carried out.
Reconstructions and Modifications
Each modification of the sensors without our written approval excludes liability on our part.
Personnel
The installation, assembly, commissioning, operation and the disassembly must be carried out by qualified
personnel only. The personnel must have the knowledge and make use of the legal regulations and safety
instructions.
Warning Notes
Attention must be paid to the accident prevention regulations of the trade associations. Coverings
and casings are necessary before operating the sensor. This is also valid for commissioning,
maintenance and trouble shooting.
Duties of the coverings and casings are:
• Protection from detaching parts
• Protection from contusion and shear
• Prevention from reaching rotating parts
• Prevention from being tangled up and/or getting caught by parts
Coverings may:
o Not grind
o Not rotate
Coverings are also necessary outside of operating and motion travel areas of persons. These
demands can be modified if other sufficient safety devices are available. During operation, the
safety precautions must be operative. By vibrations, damages can occur at the device.
