Mode of operation
The rope sensor is based on a patented measuring procedure which, for the first
time, permits the carrying out of absolute weight measurements without calibration in
the rope. Inside the sensor there is a strain gauge the signals of which are condi-
tioned by the integrated electronics and are passed via the USB plug of the sensor to
the rope load evaluation unit MSM12.
Each rope sensor LSM is individually calibrated.

Connections
The LSM is provided with a 0.8 m cable for connection to the MSM12. The cable is
equipped with a USB-A connector. The sensor has no further connection options.

Handling
Please, take care that the LSM connector is free of dust, liquids etc. so that the con-
tact is not impaired.
In order to use the sensor in a rope, please proceed as follows:
1. Bring the clamping lever into the open position and insert the sensor into the
rope. If this is not possible, open the set screw by several turns. Now tighten
the set screw so far until the marking of the LSM corresponds to the desired
rope diameter on the type label.
2. Now close the clamping lever and take care that the rope is still running in the
groove of the sensor.
