1.2 Safe Operation
Keep all the following in mind as you use the EDX dynamometer.
The system capacity is equal to the rating of the dynamometers. The shackle rating
should not be used to determine lift capacity of the system.
The shackles are rated in metric tons. Thus the 12-ton shackles are rated to 26,450 lbf
and are suitable for use on the 25,000 lbf dynamometer.
Any zeroed deadload must be considered as part of the ultimate load.
Although this instrument has a substantial overload protection rating, the instrument
should not be used above the rated capacity. Doing so can significantly impact fatigue
life of the instrument and cause premature and abrupt failure. If a higher capacity
reading is needed, Dillon insists that a larger instrument be used.
Safety is always a concern in overhead lifting and tensioning applications. To limit your
liability always insist upon factory supplied shackles and pins and factory tested and
certified safe optional equipment. All DILLON products are designed to meet the
published Safe Working Load (SWL) and Ultimate Safety Factor (USF) standards of the
United States Military.
Do not grind, stamp, drill or deform the metal on the dynamometer body in any way.
Protect the instrument from impact in use and storage.
Any significant damage or deformation to the loading element is cause for evaluation
by Dillon, particularly in the element side members to the right and left of the display.
Relieve all torsional and off axis loads.
Apply load in the center of the shackle bow with this instrument.
Off center loading results in substandard performance.
Instrument requires time to stabilize when changing temperatures.
Use only the hardware supplied with this instrument. If no hardware was supplied,
insure that the mating pin and shackle bow is equivalent to the hardware used at
calibration. Otherwise substandard performance or failure can result.
WARNING: If you overload this dynamometer you could suffer severe injuries
or death. The total load on the dynamometer should NEVER exceed the rated
capacity.
WARNING: Do not use the dynamometer if there is any significant damage or
deformation visible.
CAUTION: Remove batteries from instrument when using the external EDX PSU
power supply.
