2 Introduction
IMPORTANT: Read the operation manual carefully before using the equipment, and keep for future
reference.
2.1 Intended use
The DIGIFORCE®9311 is an instrument that is designed to monitor repetitive production processes. Its
core function is to record and analyze process signals representing physical variables between which
there is a defined relationship, for instance recording a curve of force, pressure or torque plotted against
displacement, angle or time. Graphical evaluation elements such as windows, trapezoids, thresholds or
envelopes are used to analyze the resultant curve. The analysis result is classified as "OK" or "NOK" (Not
OK) and output at various interfaces.
The DIGIFORCE®9311 is NOT intended as a safety device. For instance it is not suitable as an
emergency device for shutting down a press if the pressing force exceeds a threshold value.
2.2 Customer Service
2.2.1 Customer service department
For repair inquiries, please telephone our Service department on [phone], or email:
[e-mail] (Germany only). If you are outside Germany, you should contact your burster agent
(see also www.burster.com).
Please have the serial number to hand. The serial number is essential to establishing the definite
technical status of the instrument and providing help quickly. You will find the serial number on the type
plate of the DIGIFORCE®9311.
2.2.2 Contact person
If you have any questions relating to the DIGIFORCE®9311, please go directly to burster
praezisionsmesstechnik gmbh & co. kg, or if outside Germany, please contact your burster agent (see
