2 Description of the BROSA rod end load cell 2.1 Structure and functionality BROSA type 0110 rod end load cells transmit and measure the tensile/compressive force between two plane-parallel surfaces, the distance between which is mechanically bridged by the rod end load cell.

................................2.2 Information on explosion protection The type 0110 rod end load cell can be optionally obtained in an intrinsically safe design for use in environments with explosion hazards. This is done using a 2-wire amplifier ExDANGmicro2W_***. The following specifications apply:...
The analysis of an erroneous measurement can result in personal injury or material damage. WARNING! Despite their robust design, BROSA rod end load cells may not be used for any use beyond the intended purpose (see section 1.1). In the case of non-intended use, hazards to life and limb of the user or third parties and/or damage to the device in which the rod end load cell is installed or to other material goods.
3.3 Operation and maintenance 3.3.1 Operation BROSA rod end load cells work independently, attaching tools is required for their operation. Direct manual intervention by the operator is not necessary; there are therefore no requirements for the operator to wear protective equipment during operation. However, the requirements towards the device in which the rod end load cell is installed must be observed.
3.3.2 Maintenance As sensors, BROSA rod end load cells are basically maintenance-free. As load-transmitting elements, however, they are subject to mechanical stress, requiring regular inspections of the fault-free state of each rod end load cell. The intervals between inspections depend on the intensity of use and must be determined by the end-user.
BROSA sensors are usually made of stainless steel and can be disposed of accordingly. If the sensor is stored before final disposal, an appropriate storage location is to be selected which prevents harmful substances from entering the environment.
