Compression Load Cell PR 6241
1.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Load cell PR 6241 with the relevant mounting kits must be used only for the weighing
applications or force measurements for which it is intended. The dimensions of all
mounting and structural components must be calculated so that sufficient overload
capacity is ensured for loads which may occur while taking the relevant standards
into account. In particular, upright weighing objects (vessel etc.) must be
safeguarded against the weighing installation turning over or being shifted, thus
eliminating danger to humans, animals or goods even in the case of a break in a load
cell or mounting element.
Installation and repair work must be carried out only by qualified personnel.
2. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The supporting structure of the weigher (i.e. the load cell support) and the vessel or
the weigh bridge must be stable enough to withstand the maximum design loads,
horizontal (check with spirit level!) and flat., Vessels should preferably be supported by
three load cells, platforms and weigh bridges by 4 or 6 load cells (see fig. 1).
