Legally prescribed labeling for disposal Electrical...

Safety Instructions General safety instructions The manual must be read carefully before start-up, maintenance work or any other work on the torque measuring system. Prerequisite for the safe and proper handling of the equipment knows all safety instructions and safety regulations of the attachment. Every DST needs to be correctly mounted and fully functional before any start-up. Shafts or adapters mounted to the torquemeter must be properly designed, so that critical bending moment is avoided. Exclusively qualified laborers are allowed to do maintenance work on any electrical components (see...

Explanation of symbols and notice Warnings Warnings are indicated by symbols in these safety instructions. The hints are going through Signal words are introduced, which express the extent of the hazard. It is imperative that you follow the instructions and act with care to avoid accidents, personal injury and material damage. Information Draws attention to important information about correct handling. Caution Warns of a potentially dangerous situation in which failure to comply with safety requirements can result in slight or moderate physical injury. ATESTEO Manual DST – Version V1.5

The torquemeter is highly accurate and resistant to rotational speed. The signals from the flange serve to control the test bench and to analyze the components. The torque flange is used just for torque measurement tasks within the load limits in the specification (see Technical specs). Any other use is not permitted. The torquemeter is not allowed for use as a safety component. The torquemeter may not be used as pillow block. Note Stator operation is only permitted when rotor is installed as described in the mounting instruction. Any modifications/conversions of the design or safety engineering...

technical specifications with which it complies. It represents the state of the art and guarantees a maximum degree of safety. Qualified personnel Qualified personnel are persons who by reason of their training, experience, instruction and their knowledge of the relevant standards, regulations, accident prevention rules and working conditions have been authorized by the person responsible for the safety of the machine/product to perform the appropriate activities required, and thereby are able to recognize and prevent potentially dangerous situations (For the definition of skilled workers see...

Attention should be drawn to residual risks associated with torque measuring technology. In the case of a shaft break, you must ensure that there is no risk of injury. This should be done with a shaft protection cover in a closed test room with corresponding security doors. During operation, no person should stay in the test room. Usage recommendations for personal protective equipment Working in a workshop generally requires the wearing of safety shoes. Use suitable gloves when handling corrosive or irritating solutions and adhesives. ATESTEO Manual DST – Version V1.5
