Safety instructions
T40FH A4429-1.0 HBM: public 9
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
The torque flange corresponds to the state of the art and
is failsafe. Transducers can give rise to residual dangers
if they are incorrectly operated or inappropriately
mounted, installed and operated by untrained personnel.
Every person involved with siting, starting-up, operating
or repairing a torque flange must have read and under
stood the mounting instructions and in particular the tech
nical safety instructions. The transducers can be dam
aged or destroyed by non-designated use of the
transducer or by non-compliance with the mounting and
operating instructions, these safety instructions or any
other applicable safety regulations (BG safety and acci
dent prevention regulations) when using the transducers.
Transducers can break, particularly in the case of over
loading. The breakage of a transducer can also cause
damage to property or injury to persons in the vicinity of
the transducer.
If the torque flange is not used according to the desig
nated use, or if the safety instructions or specifications in
the mounting and operating instructions are ignored, it is
also possible that the transducer may fail or malfunction,
with the result that persons or property may be affected
(due to the torques acting on or being monitored by the
torque flange).
Conversions and modifications
The design or safety engineering of the transducer must
not be modified without our express permission. Any
modification shall exclude all liability on our part for any
damage resulting therefrom.
