2.1 Intended purpose
The product is intended for industrial, not private use.
The product is intended solely for the purpose of measuring chain elongation.
Important note on the chain elongation value, inspection frequency and measurement:
The function of the product is only to provide information. No guarantee is given that the system will protect against
failure of chain drives or machine stoppages. Reliable measurements can only be guaranteed if the chain is guided on
both sides. Measurement is a contact-free process with no direct intervention in the chain drive. It must, however, be
performed in a clearly defined status, which can only be guaranteed if the chain is guided on both sides.
Measurement of future chain elongation depends on inspection and maintenance intervals, which are in turn determined
by the concrete usage scenario for the chains. External factors (e.g. inadequate lubrication, particle deposition, etc.) can
increase the rate at which a chain wears. The customer is solely responsible for defining the inspection intervals and any
special inspections.
The product does not show the evaluation of the measurements and any resultant effects on the
machine/system of the user or any measures that need to be taken. This is the sole responsibility of the
operator.
The product constitutes partly completed machinery as understood by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The product
may only be taken into operation after it has been installed in the machine/system for which it is intended and if this
machine fully complies with the requirements of the EU Machinery Directive. The product is not intended to be used
outside the system.
You are permitted to use the product as follows:
_
No changes, additions or modifications may be made to the product without the authorization of the
manufacturer. This also applies to the installation of safety devices.
_
The product may only be used if it is in sound technical condition. Any damage that gives cause for concern that
the product may not function correctly must be inspected by specialist staff to ensure that it does not impact on
safety. In cases of doubt, the manufacturer must be contacted ([email protected]).
_
The product was designed for installation in a partly completed machine, a machine or a system.
o
The product is not intended to be used outside the system.
_
The purpose of the product is to measure chains that become elongated as a result of mechanical forces.
_
The CCM-S should preferably be installed in the tight strand. The relevant minimum distances and maximum
load on the measuring carriage and the overall system must be observed.
o
See the section "Technical data".
_
For the best and most meaningful results, we recommend that the chain should be cleaned before it is fed into
the CCM.
_
The device can be dismantled for the purposes of installation, maintenance and troubleshooting.
o
Any work on the system may only be carried out as specified in the documentation, in terms of both the
scope of the work and the sequence of the work steps.
o
In the event of more extensive work, the manufacturer must be contacted ([email protected]).
_
In the case of chains with attachments on one or both sides or extended pins, iwis must carry out a separate
inspection. In this event, please contact iwis ([email protected])!
The CCM is a test device and not a measuring device!
