The specified properties apply exclusively in the unchanged delivery condition. Applicable standards and guidelines must be observed, especially when recoating. Current certificates can be downloaded from the BROSA GmbH website. Only the German version of this operating manual represents the original document.
2 Description of the BROSA rod end load cell 2.1 Structure and functionality The BROSA type 0110 rod end load cells transmit and measure the tensile or compressive force between two supports, the distance between which is mechanically bridged by the loadcell.

More information can be found in the technical datasheets, which may be obtained free of charge from BROSA. WARNING! An insufficiently rigid surrounding construction, inadequate force...
................................................................2.2 Information on explosion protection The type 0110 rod end load cells are optionally available in an intrinsically safe design for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Actual certificates can be downloaded on BROSA Homepage. Use of intrinsically safe rod end load cells in zone 0 is not allowed.
3.3 Operation and maintenance 3.3.1 Operation BROSA force measuring sensors operate automatically; attaching tools is not required for operation. Direct manual intervention by the operator is not necessary; there are therefore no requirements for the operator to wear protective equipment during operation.
................................................................3.3.2 Maintenance In its capacity as a sensor, BROSA force measuring sensors 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 sensor. 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 force measuring sensors 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.
