2 Description of the BROSA shear force transducer 2.1 Structure and functionality The BROSA type 0210 shear force transducer is used to measure the force in single-shear connections in or on machines and equipment of all kinds. Figure 1 shows the typical layout:...
................................2.2 Information on explosion protection The type 0210 shear force transducer can be optionally obtained in an intrinsically safe design for use in environments with explosion hazards. This can be done with the 2-wire technique using the ExDANGmicro2W*** amplifier. The following specifications apply:...
The analysis of an erroneous measurement can result in personal injury or material damage. WARNING! Despite their sturdy design, BROSA shear force transducers may not be used for any other than the intended purpose (see. Section 2.1). Improper use can result in dangers to the life and limb of the user or third parties and/or impairment of the device in which the shear force transducer is implemented or other property.
BROSA shear force transducers must be secured against falling. Do not throw sensors! Use as a tool (e.g. striking, slotting or lever tool) is not permitted; it can cause damage to the sensor and thus falsify the measurement results.
If it is connected outside an area subject to explosion hazards, it must be in line with the general requirements for electrical equipment. 3.2.2.1 Type 0210 in an intrinsically safe version The sensors with ExDANGmicro2W*** amplifier must be installed according to the following specifications: ................................
BROSA shear force transducers emit neither airborne acoustic noise nor non-ionising radiation. Operation of BROSA shear force transducers is permitted only within the parameters and properties given in the technical data sheets and on the nameplate. These are, among others:...
................................3.3.2 Maintenance In its capacity as a sensor, BROSA shear force transducers are maintenance-free. As load- transmitting elements, however, they are subject to mechanical stress, requiring regular inspections of the fault-free state of each shear force transducer. The intervals between inspections depend on the intensity of use and must be determined by the end-user.
If necessary, the sensor must be cleaned. WARNING! BROSA shear force transducers contain traces of environmentally hazardous substances. This is also true of the impurities created during use. Contamination of the environment by these substances is to be prevented.
