10. Warning
10.1 Intended use
The instrument you have acquired serves to determine the
measuring value of the material to be measured. It is
intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ instrument, i.e.
the material to be measured is manually and carefully
attached at the instrument. The measured value can be
read off after a stable measurement value has been
obtained.
10.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the instrument for dynamic measuring. In the
event that small quantities are removed or added to the
material to be measured, incorrect measuring results
can be displayed due to the “stability compensation“ in the
instrument. (Example: Slow draining off of liquid from a
container suspended from the instrument). Do not attach a
continuous load. This can damage the measuring
unit as well as the parts, relevant to safety.
Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by appending
slopingly) of all kinds. Be sure to prevent overloading the
instrument in excess of the stated maximum load (max.),
minus any tare weight that may possibly exist. This could
damage the instrument (risk of breakage).
Important:
• Always make sure that there are no people or materials
below the load that could be injured or damaged!
• The instrument is not suitable for measuring people. Do
not use as baby scales!
• The instrument does not comply with the medical product
law (MPG).
Never operate the instrument in hazardous locations. The
series design is not explosion-proof. Structural alterations
may not be made to the instrument.
This can lead to incorrect measuring results, faults
concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction
of the instrument. The instrument may only be used in
compliance with the described guidelines. Varying areas of
application/ planned use must be approved by SAUTER
in writing.
10.3 Guarantee
The guarantee is not valid following
• non-observation of our guidelines in the operating
instructions
• use outside the described applications
• alteration to or opening of the device
• mechanical damage and damage caused by media,
liquids
• natural wear and tear
• inappropriate erection or electric installation
• overloading of the measuring equipment
10.4 Monitoring the test substances
The metrology features of the instrument and any possible
available adjusting weight must be checked at regular
intervals within the scope of quality assurance. For this
purpose, the answerable user must define a suitable
interval as well as the nature and scope of this check.
Information is available on
the home page (
www.KERN-sohn.com ) with regard to the
monitoring of instrument test substances and the test
weights required for this. Test weights and instruments can
be adjusted quickly and at a reasonable price in KERN’s
accredited DKD calibration laboratory (return to national
normal).
10.5. Fundamental safety information
Do not use the hanging instrument to transport loads.
Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by appending
slopingly) of all kinds.
Never use the hanging instrument over the maximum
permitted weight (!!Danger of breakage!!).
Always make sure that there are no living beings or
materials below the load that could be injured or damaged.
The hanging electronic instruments from the SAUTER
instrument are only suitable for hand-held use or use in a
test stand.
They are not suitable for hanging from a mechanical hook,
e.g. a crane hook.
10.5.1 Observe the information in the operating
instructions. Please read the operating instructions
carefully before erecting and commissioning, even if you
already have experience with SAUTER instruments.
10.5.2 Staff training
The device may only be operated and looked after by
trained members of staff.
