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 normal force transducer 2.1 Structure and functionality The BROSA Type 0250 normal force transducer is designed to detect the force in two-way shear connections in or on machines and devices of all kinds. Figure 1 shows the typical...
................................................................2.2 Information on explosion protection The type 0250 normal force transducers 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 normal force transducers in zone 0 is not allowed.Current certificates can be downloaded from the BROSA GmbH website.
- The mass of the force measuring sensor is to be observed when selecting appropriate handling equipment and/or lifting gear. - BROSA force measuring sensors must be secured against falling. Do not throw sensors! - Use as a tool (e.g., impact, slotting or lever tool) is not permitted; it can cause damage to the sensor and thus falsify the measurement results.
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.
