SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Intended use
The force transducers of TOP Transfer types: TOP-Z30A and TOP-Z4A must be used for
force comparison measurements (force transfer). Use for any additional purpose shall be
deemed to be not as intended.
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 ac
cessories.
The transducer is not a safety element within the meaning of its use as intended. For safe
and trouble‐free operation, this transducer must not only be correctly transported, stored,
sited and installed but must also be carefully operated and maintained.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The force transducers TOP-Z30A and TOP-Z4A are state‐of‐the‐art and failsafe. Trans
ducers can give rise to remaining dangers if they are inappropriately installed and oper
ated 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.
Remaining dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the transducer covers only a small area of force
measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and operators
should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering considerations of force
measurement technology in such a way as to minimize remaining dangers. Prevailing
regulations must be complied with at all times. There must be reference to the remaining
dangers associated with force measurement technology.
Unauthorized conversions and modifications are prohibited
The transducer must not be modified from the design or safety engineering point of view
except with our express agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liability on our part
for any damage resulting therefrom.
Qualified personnel
These transducers must only be installed by qualified personnel, strictly in accordance
with the specifications in conjunction with the safety requirements and regulations listed
below. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety regulations for the
application concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
