  • Page 19: Application Planning

    Application planning Load cell dummies Principle of operation Load cells are sensitive sensors. To protect the load cells from becoming damaged during installation and transport, install the load cells only at the last minute. Replace the load cells during installation and transport with placeholders, so-called dummies or phantoms. Dummies might be designed as follows: •...

    Application planning 4.3 Load pick-up Figure 4-1 Proposed solution for lifting protection Load pick-up Mounting surfaces The following requirements apply to the installation areas: • The positional and angular deviations of the mounting areas to each other correspond to the general tolerances for welded constructions in EN ISO 13920.
  • Page 21: Overload Protection

    Application planning 4.4 Overload protection Overload protection NOTICE Irreparable faults and damage to the load cells If load cells are used beyond the maximum working load or the maximum transverse load, this can cause irreparable faults and even fracturing of the load cell or the compact mounting unit. •...
  • Page 22: Guide Elements

    Application planning 4.5 Guide elements Guide elements Use the guide elements in the following cases: • A weight should be determined under the influence of transverse forces. • Horizontal movement of the load bearing implement should be prevented. A change in the distance between the support points, for example, as a result of expansion of the load bearing implement due to heat, must not lead to mutual tensioning of the guide elements.
  • Page 23 Application planning 4.5 Guide elements Three guide elements are sufficient to statically fix a weighing platform or container. Note Weighing errors With four guide elements, there is a risk of the guide elements mutually tensioning, which in turn induces weighing errors. If you nevertheless want to use four guide elements, the guide elements must be installed with a sufficient amount of play.

  • Page 25: Installation

    The load cell can be damaged when being handled improperly. Load cells are precision components. • Observe the operating instructions for the load cell. SIWAREX WL200 Operating instructions (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109749190) • Do not drop the load cell. • Protect the load cells from shocks.
  • Page 26 Installation 5.1 Safety information/instructions NOTICE Incorrect assembly of the load cell Damaging of load cells, installation parts or load bearing implement With load cells of smaller rated loads, there is a risk of stretching the load cell bodies when attaching force transfer devices, e.g. when tightening locknuts. Torsional and bending moments, eccentric loads and transverse loads are disturbance variables.
