Operating the Sensors
7.A General Notes
Operation
The rope load sensors are based on a patented measuring method which allows to carry
out absolute measurements without the nned to calibrate the system with weights. The
sensor contains a strain gauge, the signals of which are beeing conditioned by integrated
electronics and transmitted via the USB connector of the sensor to the evaluation unit
MSM12. Each sensor is calibrated individually.
Connections
Each LSM sensor features cable with USB-A connector to connect them to the evaluation
unit MSM12. The sensors have no other connecting options.
Handling
To ensure that there is always good electrical contact please keep the sensor plugs free
from dust, liquids etc..
