1. PRESENTATION
The dynaforTM LLX1 dynamometers are precision force sensors (0.2 % FS) used to measure forces and
indicate loads. These devices have a capacity range of 0.5 to 20 t.
The equipment is delivered with its batteries in a case containing :
a) The LLX1 dynamometer.
b) A user and maintenance manual.
c) An adjustment certificate.
d) A CE statement of compliance.
2. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The operating principle of the dynafor™LLX1 is based on strain gauge measurement of the extension,
within its limits of elasticity, of a metal body subjected to traction stress.
The appliance will work in all directions.
An electric signal proportional to the load is generated by the strain gauges integrated in the sensor.
The signal is processed by a microprocessor analyser then displayed on the LCD screen of the unit.

6. INSTALLATION, UTILIZATION AND UNINSTALLATION
DANGER : The product must be installed by a qualified technician.
: The user must make sure that the operator is perfectly familiar with the
information contained in the user and maintenance manual before using the unit.
6.1. INSTALLATION
When installing you must:
a) make sure that the load line anchoring point(s) are sufficiently robust in relation to the
traction that will be applied.
b) make sure that the anchoring accessories at either end of the dynamometer are compatible,
and that they comply with the relevant regulations.
c) make sure that clevis pins are well locked, with the nut screwed down to the maximum, and
make sure that the hook safety latch is working correctly.
d) make sure that the sensor is correctly aligned in the traction line.
DANGER
6.2. UTILIZATION
Only use dynafor™ LLX1 in traction, avoiding compression, twisting or flexing.
The appliance can be used in all directions, including horizontally.
The dynafor™ LLX1 operates correctly in a temperature range of de –20° C to + 40° C. For use outside
of this range, the appliance will require heat protection.
6.3. UNINSTALLATION
When uninstalling the appliance, first make sure that it is no longer subject to any traction stress.
6.4. UTILIZATION PROHIBITIONS
IT IS PROHIBITED:
• To use dynafor™LLX1 in a line for lifting people without having carried out a prior
specific risk analysis.
• To modify the appliance housing by machining, drilling or any other process.
• To use dynafor™beyond their maximum capacity.
• To put the Dynafor in a arc weld electrical circuit.
• To disassemble or open the sensor.
• To use the appliance for operations other than those described in this manual.

7. OVERLOAD INDICATOR
When the load applied to the sensor exceeds the maximum capacity
of the appliance of 15 % (e.g.: a 5 t loaded at 5,75 t) the display unit
shows "HI" indicating an overload condition as shown opposite.
DANGER
8. BASIC FUNCTIONS
8.1. COMMISSIONING
8.1.1. Activation of batteries
The 3 x 1.5 V "AA" batteries are installed in the factory.
Remove the insulating tab protruding from the battery compartment to enable them.
For future battery changes, refer to Chapter 9.
8.1.2. Starting up the unit
8.1.3. Automatic zero
When the LLX1 is started up, the display will indicate "0" so long as the force measured is less than
10% of the maximum capacity of the unit.
In the event of overload, all stress on the sensor must be completely
relieved and a check made that the appliance returns to zero.
If the appliance shows a stress value, even though tension is not
applied, then it has suffered a permanent distortion. In this case, you
must have the appliance serviced by the manufacturer before continuing
to use it.
