Eilon Engineering Ltd. RON 2501 NG Operating Manual
4
When connecting the load cell in order to measure forces or loads, special care
should be taken to choose the right connecting accessories that will permit free
movement and prevent bending moments in the load cell.
Use shackles with S.W.L. (Safe Working Load) equal to, or greater than the
system's maximum capacity.
Check the system thoroughly before use, including the lifting accessories which are
included in some of the RON systems. Do not use a damaged system.
We recommend that the systems be checked occasionally by lifting a known
weight.
We recommend that the systems be sent back to the manufacturer for general
examination once every year.
Do not use the system with an unknown load if there is any doubt as to the
reliability of the load indication. To check its reliability, use
only a known load
with a value of more than 50% and less than 100% of the system’s rated capacity
(load limit).
The permitted temperature range appears in the RON systems specification.
Do not allow the systems to overheat. This could be dangerous.
Take particular care not to expose the system to nuclear radiation.
Local environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, radio transmissions
or other magnetic radiation may interfere with reliable system operation and may
cause a false (low) reading which could prove dangerous. Avoid using the system
under such conditions.
The system is not explosion-proof and should not be used in hazardous areas.
System calibration should be performed annually, in an authorized laboratory,
unless laws, regulations, or other policies specify other intervals for calibration.
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 since
a wrong calibration adjustment will result in false readings, which could be
dangerous.
