CAGE WEIGH SYSTEM

  

4.5.1

 

LOAD CELL VERSION 

The Niftylift HR17 is fitted with an electronic load cell. This load cell is a moment-independent, 
redundant design. This means that independent of the load position inside the machine cage, the actual 
load is measured and if pre-configured limit values are exceeded, warnings will be activated. 
“Redundant design” means that the load cell design incorporates dual channels that monitor each 
other. The design of the unit meets the requirements of both EN280 and EN954-1 class III. 

4.5.2

 

CALIBRATION, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 

Calibration, maintenance and repair of the Niftylift HR17 cage load cell requires specialist knowledge 
and equipment. 

For this reason, no part of the Niftylift HR17 cage-weigh system can be 

adjusted, repaired or inspected by the operator

.  

All enquiries relating to calibration, inspection or maintenance should be directed to Niftylift or one of 
their approved dealers. Contact details are listed in Section 1.3.
