The following table explains the terms and abbreviations used in this manual:
TERM
DEFINITION
ATEX
Derived from the words ATmosphèresand EXplosibles.
This is the conventional name for two European Union (EU) directives:
•2014/34/EU for the regulation of equipment intended for use in
hazardous areas.
•99/92/EC for the safety and health of workers in explosive
atmospheres or potentially explosive environments.
FAILURE
Fault of various kinds preventing the normal operation of a machine, plant,
etc.....
DAMAGE
Any negative consequence resulting from the occurrence of the
hazardous event.
P.P.E.
The term Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) means any piece of
equipment designed to be worn and held by the worker so as to protect
him or her against one or more risks liable to be a threat to the safety or
health during work, as well as any additional item or accessory designed
for that purpose.
FAULT
Element totally deprived of the normal possibilities of performing a
required function.
INSTRUMENT
Complete measuring chain (platform + electronic terminal).
MALFUNCTION
Faulty or inadequate functioning of a machine or its element in performing
a certain function.
PROTECTIVE
MEASURE
Measure intended to achieve risk reduction, implemented:
•By the design engineer (intrinsically safe design, additional
protections and protective measures, information for use).
•By the user (organisation: safe work procedures, supervision, work
permits; provision and use of additional means of protection; use of
personal protective equipment; training).
HAZARD
Potential source of harm that, if not avoided, poses a risk to the safety and
health of exposed persons.
EXPOSED PERSON
Any person wholly or partially in a danger zone.
PREVENTION
The set of provisions or measures that are also necessary according to the
particular nature of the work, experience and technique, in order to avoid
risks or reduce the probability of their occurrence.

12
WEIGHING PLATFORM –PMA
TERM
DEFINITION
PROTECTION
Defence against what could cause harm. Element that interposes itself
between who may suffer harm and what may cause it due to hazards that
cannot be reasonably eliminated or risks that cannot be sufficiently
reduced during design.
We distinguish between:
•The active protection that the operators themselves must activate
(emergency stops for example) and/or wear (PPE).
•Passive protection that intervenes even without human command.
GUARD
Physical barrier designed as part of the machine to provide protection.
FIXED GUARD
A guard held in place (i.e. closed) either permanently (welded) or by
fastening systems (screws, bolts, etc.) that make it impossible to
remove/open without the use of tools (spanners, screwdrivers or Allen
keys). Easy-to-remove fastening systems (e.g. plastic knobs) are not
permitted.
MOBILE GUARD
A guard mechanically connected to the machine structure (e.g. with
hinges or guides) that can be opened without the use of tools.
RISK
Combination of the probability of an injury occurring and the severity of
that injury.
RESIDUAL RISK
Risk that remains after protective and preventive measures have been
taken.
INTENDED USE
Using a machine in accordance with the information provided in the
instruction manual.
REASONABLY
FORESEEABLE MISUSE
Using a machine in a way not foreseen by the design engineer, but which
may result from easily predictable human behaviour.
CONNECTOR
Plug or socket for connecting the terminal to the external equipment.
DIVISION
Appreciable minimum weight variation.
FULL SCALE
This is the maximum weighing capacity of the instrument, which does not
necessarily coincide with the max. structural capacity of the weighing
platform.
IP..
This indicates the protection rating for casings and enclosures containing
electrical or electronic components.
Penetration of solid foreign bodies (the first digit) and penetration of
liquids (the second digit).
