Avoid bending, twisting, side loading and off-axis loading.
When connecting the load cell in order to measure forces or loads, special care
should be taken in choosing appropriate shackles or other connecting
accessories that will permit free movement and prevent bending moments and
twisting in the load cell.
Always use shackles with a S.W.L. (Safe Working Load) equal to, or greater than
the system's rated capacity.
Check the system thoroughly before use, including the lifting accessories which
are included with some Ron systems. Do not use a damaged system.
We recommend that the system is checked occasionally by lifting a known
weight. Further, the system should be sent back to the manufacturer or to an
authorized service center for general examination once every year.
System calibration should at first be performed annually in an authorized
laboratory unless local laws, regulations, or other policies require alternative
intervals. Once the user becomes familiar with the particular needs of their
system, the need for calibration may vary.
Between calibrations, the user can verify whether the systems are still calibrated
correctly by using a known weight.
Calibration verification and adjustment must be performed with extreme care.
An erroneous calibration adjustment will result in false readings, which could be
dangerous.
If there is any doubt as to the reliability of the load indication, do not use the
system with an unknown load. To check its reliability, use a known load
preferably with a value of more than 50% and less than 100% of the system’s
rated capacity. Never use a weight that is more that the rated capacity.
The permitted temperature range appears in the Ron system specifications.
Do not allow the system to overheat or fall below the minimum permitted
temperature, as doing so may be dangerous and cause damage.
Take particular care not to expose the system to nuclear radiation.
Local environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures (those that
exceed the stated temperature range in the system specifications), chemical
materials, radio transmissions or other magnetic radiation may interfere with the
