    25% of its rated capacity, no more than once per year. Eilon Engineering will accept no liability for damage caused by the product being used in excess of the working load limit or from abuse.
  • Page 5 engineering personnel should be consulted before using the system to measure dynamic loads. Avoid bending, twisting, side loading and off-axis loading. When connecting the load cell in order to measure forces or loads, special care should be taken in choosing appropriate shackles or other connecting accessories that will permit free movement and prevent bending moments and twisting in the load cell.
  • Page 6 No amount of safety features and engineering can be a substitute for common sense and a desire to work safely. The Ron 2501 relies on wireless communication. Like all wireless devices it is susceptible to interference and other reception issues.

  • Page 7: Eilon Engineering Limited Warranty

    Warranty Period explicitly stated in the Eilon Engineering Ltd. literature that accompanies the product, Eilon Engineering Ltd. will replace or repair the part at no charge at the sole discretion of Eilon Engineering Ltd. This warranty specifically excludes shipping costs.

    2. Basic Operation Basic operation of Ron systems and helpful tips and tricks Before operation, be sure the shackles you intend to use are appropriate for the system (see shackle specification table). Press the key to turn the system on. The display will read BATT, then the percentage of remaining battery life of the indicator and then the load cell, followed by the unit of measurement.

    2.5 - Battery Care Maintenance of Ron 2501 batteries for top performance The standard system is powered by two AA 1.5V disposable alkaline batteries in bothe the indicator and load cell. Batteries rated 3AH will result in at least 2000 hours of battery life (more than two months of continuous use).
  • Page 13 2.5.1 - Rechargeable Batteries Though we recommend standard alkaline AA batteries, rechargeable batteries are offered. This option includes 2 AA NiMH 2700 mA rechargeable batteries. The system is supplied with a external wall charger. The batteries should be charged: Prior to using the unit for the first time. Before use, if more than two months have passed since the last charge.

  • Page 14: Calibration

    3. Calibration Performing additional calibration and adjustment to the system Note It is recommended that calibration be performed by authorized and skilled personnel only! It should be performed using an accurate known weight or in a laboratory. nless otherwise required by local laws, it is recommended that the system be calibrated annually.

    Once the system is unloaded, press OK. The display will flash WAIT for a few seconds and then L.VALU (load value). This means that the load of a known weight intended for calibration is ready to be applied. Once the known weight has been applied (lifted), press OK. The display will show APPLY followed by the max capacity of the system.
  • Page 16 This means that the load of a known weight intended for calibration is ready to be applied. Important Note: Known weight must be at least 80% of the load cells capacity. (e.g for a 1000 kg capacity system at least 800 kg must be used) Once the known weight has been applied (lifted), press OK.

    The system will multiply the sensed load by any number selected by the user to suit the actual reeving arrangement for a given set up. The overload threshold levels also receive the correct values which are the measured threshold levels multiplied by the number of falls.

  • Page 28: Connector Cables

    The dampening option calculates the average load based on the measurements taken over a given number of seconds (here called T). When measuring begins, the first reading will show after about one second. After two seconds, the display will show a reading based on the average of the readings from the first two seconds.
