This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

● In the case of devices with explosion protection, qualified persons must be trained,
instructed and authorized to perform work on electrical circuits in plants subject to
explosion hazards.
Protection against explosion
There is no potential risk of ignition from the pressure piece sets of the load cells. Therefore
they are not subject to the EC directive 94/9 EC (ATEX).

Description
3.1 Application
3.1.1 Use of the pressure piece set
The pressure piece set takes on the direct introduction of force into the load cells.
The pressure piece set has the following features:
● Easy installation of the load cell
● Provides a rotation lock for the load cell
● Has a self-centering effect on the load bearing implement
Pressure piece set for SIWAREX WL270 CP-S SB
The self-centering pressure piece set for SIWAREX WL270 CP-S SB load cells is especially
well suited for installation in vehicle scales, platform weighing machines, and container
weighers.
Without any protective measures the structure can collapse if the load cell is not installed
correctly. Therefore supporting structures complying with the general rules of mechanical
engineering must be designed by the customer for installing the pressure piece set.
As an alternative installation units from the product range of Siemens can be used.
3.1.2 Lifting protection
The lifting protection prevents the load bearing implements from being lifted off of the load
cells.
If there is a risk of the load bearing implement being lifted or toppled, then lifting protection is
required. This is required in the case of lightweight containers and tall, outdoor silos.
3.1.3 Overload protection
The overload protection protects load cells from a load that is too great.
There is overload protection against excessive loads in the measuring direction and overload
protection against excessive transverse forces.
Transverse forces are caused by, for example, wind, filling processes, acceleration, or
conveyor belt friction. If these forces exceed certain values, the load cells must be protected
from them.

Description
3.2 Layout and function
3.1.4 Use of the grounding cable
The grounding cable is used to protect the load cells from undesired currents. The causes of
such currents are, for example:
● Equalizing currents with missing or faulty equipotential bonding conductors.
● A lightning strike nearby
● Welding work
● Static charge
Figure 3-2 Example usage of the grounding cable
3.2 Layout and function
3.2.1 Design and function of the pressure piece set
Design
The pressure piece set is made up of the following components:
● Upper pressure piece
● Lower twist-proof pressure piece
Together with the load cell, the pressure piece set represents a self-centering bearing unit.
①Upper pressure piece
②Load cell, not included in the scope of delivery
③Pin in lower pressure piece: Prevents the load cell from twisting
④Lower twist-proof pressure piece
Figure 3-3 Exploded view: Pressure piece set with installed load cell
Principle of operation
The pressure pieces ensure the lateral guidance of the load cells and, together with the load
cell, form a self-centering unit.
