1 Introduction Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 Introduction Read the manual Please read this manual carefully and completely before using the product. This manual is part of the product. Keep it in a safe and easily accessible location. This is what operating instructions look like 1.
Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 1 Introduction NOTICE Warning of damage to property and/or the environment. NOTICE indicates that damage to property and/or the environment may occur if appropriate safety measures are not observed. Take the corresponding safety precautions.
Intended use The load cell PR 6211 has been designed especially for weighing silos and process vessels. The load cell PR 6211 may only be used as intended for weighing tasks. The dimensions of all mounting and structural components must be calculated so that suicient overload capacity is ensured for all loads which may occur while taking the relevant standards into account.
Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 3 Recommendations for installation Recommendations for installation Load cell and constrainer arrangement Examples: Do not constrain this position. Constrainer Load application Possible direction of movement EN-6 Minebea Intec...
3 Recommendations for installation Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 The supporting structure of the scale (i.e. the load cell support) and the vessel must be stable enough to withstand the speciied loads, be horizontal (water level!) and lat. Vessels should preferably be supported by 3 load cells, platforms by 4 or 6 load cells (see igure).
(elastomer support; see Chapter 11.2.1). The load cells PR 6211 (30 300 kg) feature built-in overload protection. If the load cell is overloaded by more than 150 % of the nominal load, this causes a signiicant lattening of the characteristic curve.

5 Installation Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 Installation Safety instructions NOTICE Welding or lightning strike current lowing through the cell can damage it. All electrical welding on the weighing system must be inished before mounting the load cells. When installing the load cell, immediately bypass the load cell with the lexible copper strap provided for this purpose (included in the equipment supplied, see Chapter 4.1).
Compact Compression Load Cell PR 6211 6 Connection Connection General information NOTICE The load cell cable end is protected against contamination and moisture by a protective sheathing. The protective sheathing should only be removed shortly before connecting! Protect the cable ends against contamination. Moisture must not get into the open end of the cable.
