1) Load cells of OIML accuracy class C3 also conform to accuracy class NTEP (USA) III M5000 with maximum capacities 20 to 200 kg. They
therefore have a second NTEP label.
2) For load cell Z6FC3/10kg: v ±0.1 %.
3) The values for non-linearity, relative reversibility error and temperature response of the output range are recommended values. If these values
are added together, the total is within the accumulated error limit to OIML R60.
4) For use in potentially explosive atmospheres see the Ex safety instructions.
