1 Introduction Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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.
Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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 6241 has been designed especially for weighing small and medium sized process vessels and for high-precision illing. The load cell PR 6241 may only be used as intended for weighing tasks.
Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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 Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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 (see igure).
Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 3 Recommendations for installation Assembly: Mount the threaded bar (1) so that it has suicient free moving space in the drill hole. Lock the nuts (2) so that there is a remaining distance A* from the washer (3).

5 Installation Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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).
Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 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.
6 Connection Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 6.2.1 Load cell cable The load cell cables are inseparably connected to the load cells in the factory and their individual resistance and temperature efect are equalized with the load cells. Therefore, never shorten the cables, rather simply roll up the extra length and secure it.
For calibration of the measuring system, please refer to the manual of the corresponding indicator. Smart Calibration When using Minebea Intec devices, we recommend always running "Smart Calibration" irst. This allows all required values to be extracted from the Calibration Certiicate supplied.
Compression Load Cell S-Type PR 6241 8 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting General Notes The following hints will enable a technician to do an initial diagnostic or help in case of incorrect or non-reproducible weighing results after commissioning and calibration. Visual inspection Component...
Of-shore all-weather protection spray can be applied extensively to the load cell in aggressive environments. Repairs The load cell PR 6241 is designed to be as robust as possible for the required measuring accuracy and is highly reliable. Should an electrical or mechanical defect nevertheless occur, the load cell must be replaced.
