Versions with two measuring directions (X-Y force measuring pin) and/or two measuring systems, either with output signals on separate connectors/cables or combined in one plug/cable, are available as options. More information can be found in the technical datasheets, which can be obtained free of charge from BROSA.................................................................
................................................................2.2 Information on explosion protection The type 0201 force measuring pin is optionally available in an intrinsically safe design for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This is done using a 2-wire amplifier ExDANGmicro2W_***. The following specifications apply: Certificate number: BVS 16 ATEX E 041 IECEx BVS 16.0031...
................................2.3 Label (nameplate, indication of measuring direction) Each BROSA force measuring pin is equipped with a nameplate containing the respective information applicable for the given product. Depending on the structural design, it can be attached either on the front (Figure 3, 1a) or on the long sides (Figure 3, 1b).
The analysis of an erroneous measurement can result in personal injury or material damage. WARNING! Despite their sturdy design, BROSA force measuring pins may not be used for any other than the intended purpose (see. Section 1.1). With improper use, dangers to life and limb of the user or third parties and/or impairment of the device in which the force measuring pin is implemented or other material assets can be caused.
BROSA force measuring pins emit neither airborne acoustic noise nor non-ionizing radiation. Operation of BROSA force measuring pins is permitted only within the parameters and properties given in the technical datasheets and on the nameplate. These are, among others:...
................................3.3.2 Maintenance In its capacity as a sensor, BROSA force measuring pins are maintenance-free. As load- transmitting elements, however, they are subject to mechanical stress, requiring regular inspections of the fault-free state of each force measuring pin. The intervals between inspections depend on the intensity of use and must be determined by the end-user.
Since the non-metallic components are a small proportion compared to the mass of the force measuring pin, it can be recycled as a whole as scrap steel. BROSA sensors are usually made of stainless steel and can be disposed of accordingly.
