Warning and Safety
Information
Improper use or handling can result
in property damage and/or personal
injury. To prevent damage to the equip-
ment, read these operating instructions
thoroughly before using your scale.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for damage caused by failure
to observe this warning and safety
information or the instructions.
When you use electrical equipment
in installations and under ambient
conditions requiring higher safety
standards, you must comply with the
provisions specified in the applicable
regulations for installation in your
country.
Before you operate your scale in
a hazardous area/location, the scale
must be inspected either by a certified
electrician or under the guidance and
supervision of a certified electrician to
make sure that the scale complies with
the applicable regulations (in Germany,
in accordance with Section 12 of the
ElexV). Determine whether your scale
must be reported to the technical
inspection authorities (e.g., trade
board) in your country. The system must
also be inspected during operation.
The system should be inspected at
intervals which allow for early detection
of the faults which occur as a result of
normal wear and tear, so that they can
be corrected before damage is caused.
In any case, inspection must be
performed at least every three years.
