2.7 Notes on particular risks
DANGER
Danger from electric voltage!
Touching live parts may result in death.
•Switch off the power supply before any assembly, adjustment
or maintenance work and secure against being switched on
again.
•Only qualified electricians may perform electrical installations.
•Check if de-energized, ground it and hot-wire.
•Cover live parts.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected movements!
If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in
the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause
serious injuries.
•Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power
supply and secure against restarting.
•Make sure, that no residual energy remains in the system.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the sensor!
If the single-axis overload values of the sensor are exceeded,
irreparable damage will occur.
•Do not overload the sensor.
CAUTION
Material damage due to incorrect grounding!
Damage to the sensor due to electrostatic discharge possible.
•Make sure that all components are properly grounded.

3.2 Force-torque sensor
NOTE
All forces and torques acting on the sensor must be within the
specified range of measurement. Exceeding the range of
measurement will reduce the maximum number of load cycles
and may lead to damage of the sensor.
Information on the range of measurement of each individual
force-torque sensor is provided in the catalog data sheet. The
latest version is always applicable.
