WEEE INFORMATION
“Attuazione della direttiva 2012/19/UE sui
riuti di apparec¬chiature elettriche ed elett-
roniche (RAEE)”
Il simbolo del cassonetto barrato riportato sull’ap-
parecchiatura o sulla sua confezione indica che
il prodotto alla ne della propria vita utile deve
essere raccolto separatamen¬te dagli altri riuti.
La raccolta differenziata della presente ap-pa-
recchiatura giunta a ne vita è organizza¬ta e
gestita dal produttore.
L’utente che desideri disfarsi dell’apparec-chi-
atura dovrà quindi contattare il produt¬tore per
ricevere indicazioni sul sistema da quest’ultimo
adottato per consentire la rac¬colta separata
dell’apparecchiatura giunta a ne vita.
L’adeguata raccolta differenziata per l’avvio
successivo dell’apparecchiatura dismessa al
riciclaggio, al trattamento e allo smaltimento
ambientalmente compatibile contribuisce ad
evitare possibili effetti negativi sull’ambiente e
sulla salute e favorisce il reimpiego e/o riciclo dei
materiali di cui è composta l’ap¬parecchiatura.
“Implementation of Directive 2012/19/EU on
waste electrical and electronic equip¬ment
(WEEE)”
The symbol showing a crossed-out wheeled bin
on equipment or its packaging indicates that the
product must be collected separately from other
waste at the end of its useful life.
The manufacturer is responsible for organ¬ising
and managing the separate collection of this
piece of equipment at the end of its useful life.
Users wishing to dispose of the equipment must
therefore contact the manufacturer to obtain inst-
ructions from the same on how to have the equip-
ment collected separately at the end of its useful
life.
By collecting the disused equipment sepa¬rately,
it can be recycled, treated or disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner, thus helping to
prevent the environment and public health from
being affected negatively and enabling reuse and/
or recycling of the materials forming the same
equipment.
„Umsetzung der Richtlinie 2012/19/EU über
Elektro- und Elektronik-Altgeräte (EEA)“
Das Symbol der durchgekreuzten Mülltonne auf
dem Gerät oder der Geräteverpackung weist da-
rauf hin, dass Sie das Produkt am Ende seines
Lebenszyklus separat entsor¬gen müssen.
Die Getrenntsammlung dieses Geräts an seinem
Lebenszyklusende wird vom Her¬steller organi-
siert und besorgt.
Der Nutzer, der das Gerät entsorgen möchte,
muss sich daher an den Hersteller wenden,
um Auskunft über seine Vorgehensweise zur Ge-
trenntsammlung des Geräts an dessen Lebens-
zyklusende zu erhalten.
Die entsprechende Getrenntsammlung für die
anschließende Zuführung des Altgeräts zum
Recycling, zur Wiederaufbereitung und zur
umweltverträglichen Entsorgung trägt dazu bei,
negative Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und die
Gesundheit zu unterbinden und begünstigt die
Wiederverwendung und/oder das Recycling von
Werkstoffen, aus denen das Gerät besteht.
“Transposition de la Directive 2012/19/UE re-
lative aux déchets d’équipements électriques
et électroniques (RAEE)”
Le pictogramme de la poubelle barrée, gu¬rant
sur l’équipement ou sur son emballage, indique
que le produit en n de vie doit être traité séparé-
ment des autres déchets.
Le ramassage sélectif de cet équipement en n
de vie est organisé et géré par le constructeur.
Tout utilisateur qui souhaiterait se débarras¬ser
de l’équipement devra donc contacter le const-
ructeur pour obtenir des informations concernant
la méthode adoptée pour per¬mettre le ramassa-
ge sélectif de l’équipe¬ment en n de vie.
Un ramassage sélectif correct, en vue de l’ache-
minement de l’équipement vers des opérations
de recyclage, de traitement et de mise au rebut
respectueuses de l’environne-ment, contribue
à réduire les impacts poten-tiellement néfastes
sur l’environnement et la santé, outre à favoriser
la réutilisation des matériaux/composants dont
l’équipement est constitué.

1� GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1�1� Prole
1�2� Construction
The measuring-lance ML1018 is inserted into a borehole
in a tie bar and then preloaded to measure the strain at
the sensortip. The 2 strain gauges in the sensor tip are
then pressed so hard onto wall of the hole that friction
replaces the bonding normally used to x strain gauges.

Warning! The installation of the devices described in the manual must be carried out by qua-
lied personnel, following the laws and regulations and in accordance with the instructions
contained in this manual.
Warning! Do not open the device when the power is on.
Warning! Use extreme caution when installing and xing the sensor unit.
If the sensor unit is installed at a height of more than 1.8 meters, all persons near the moul-
ding machine must wear the protective helmet.

2�3� Assembly
• Avoid contamination from grease or oil on the sensor tip.
• Don‘t touch the sensor tip with bare hands.
• The measuring lance housing must not rest against the workpiece.
• The sealing ring (Ø16mm) or the support ring (Ø20mm) must be inside the borehole.
• Only mount the measuring lance with the specied torque.
1. The borehole with specied lenght and
diameter must be prepared.
2. Carefully take the measuring lance out of
the packaging.
3. Insert measuring lance into the borehole
with a slow continuous movement to the
desired measuring point.
4. Insert measuring lance only so far that
minimum 10mm of the tube of the mea-
suring lance remains visible.
5. Adjust the support ring if nesessary, it
must be inside the borehole (measuring
lance with Ø20mm).
6. The sealing ring must be inside the bore-
hole (measuring lance with Ø16mm).
7. Hold the measuring lance housing with
one hand
8. Tension measuring lance with torque
meter (hexagon socket 6mm).
Tightening torque: 3 Nm

2�4�1� General rules for connections
2�5� Reset function
• Make sure that the grounding connection is efcient.
A missing or ineffective ground connection can cause
unstable device operations due to excessive environ-
mental disturbances.
• To avoid disturbances, the sensor cables must be
kept away from the power cables (high voltage or
large current).
Warning! Please remember that failing to follow the instructions below could lead to electrical
safety and electromagnetic compatibility problems, as well as void the warranty.

3�1� Measurement procedure
• Before starting to measure, three cycles at fullscale
must be run.
• To avoid measuring errors SENSORMATE AG recom-
mends to reset the zero point after each machine
cycle.

5� TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
• Transport or store measuring lance only in original
packaging.
• Store measuring lance where it will be secure against
shock.
• Data on storage temperature are listed in the technical
specications.
6� MAINTENANCE
In general, the measuring lance does not require any
maintenance.
6�1� Inspection
If the measuring lance is removed, the sensor tip of the
measuring lance must be checked for damage to ensure
proper functionality of a new installation and operation.
6�2� Servicing
In order to guarantee a faultless operation of the measu-
ring lance, it is recommended to have repair work carried
out only by Sensormate AG.
