2.2 Description
The load pin is designed for measuring static and dynamic tension or compression
forces.The load pin consists of a measuring spring and a welded thin-film sensor. The
measuring body is made of stainless steel and is elastically deformed by a compression
force introduced in the force direction. The resulting mechanical tensions are measured
by the built-in thin-film sensor and output by an electrical output signal.

1) Attention: For ATEX equipment, observe the additional operating instruction: 14537280 for Ex equipment.
ATEX equipment is labeled and certified under the brand tecsis.
Force transducer for measuring tension or compression forces, for example in cranes.
The product is designed for use both outside and inside buildings.
Load pins can measure forces in both directions. The measured force is output as an
electrical signal.These devices are designed for operation in industrial environment.
In other environments, e.g. residential or commerical, they may interfere with other
equipment. In this case, the operator may be required to implement appropriate
measures.
Only use the load pins in applications that are within the technical performance limits
(e.g. max. ambient temperature, material compatibility, etc.). For performance limits, see
chapter 9 “Technical data”.
Only the load pins of models F53C1 and F53C8 are approved for use in hazardous
areas! For this, the additional operating instruction: 14537280 for Ex equipment must be
observed! For an overview, see table above.
The load pins are designed exclusively for the intended use which is described here and
may only be used accordingly. Claims of any kind due to improper use are excluded.
Handle electronic precision measuring instruments with the required care (protect from
humidity, impacts, strong magnetic fields, static electricity and extreme temperatures,
do not insert any objects into the instrument or its openings). Plugs and sockets must be
protected from contamination.

3.3 Improper use
WARNING!
Injuries through improper use
Improper use of the instrument can lead to hazardous situations and
injuries.

Refrain from unauthorised modifications to the instrument.

Do not use the load pin as a climbing aid, counterweight or other
inappropriate use (see chapter 5 “Commissioning, operation”).

Any use beyond or different to the intended use is considered as
improper use.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be
observed. Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical
specifications requires the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and
inspected by an authorised service engineer.
The tension/compression force transducers are intended for use in stationary large
tools, large systems and moving machines.The tension/compression force transducers
are therefore excluded from the scope of the EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS); see
2011/65/EU, Article 2 (4) d), e) and g) and thus also to the Restriction of the Use of
Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations
2012 for UK, as that corresponds to 2011/65/EU.
This instrument is intended for connection to an external PELV circuit that meets
the requirements of UL/IEC/EN 61010-1 Section 9.4 (limited-energy circuit).The
manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to
the intended use.The load pins are designed for indoor and outdoor use, at altitudes of
up to 2,500 m above sea level. The pollution degree in accordance with UL certification
is Degree 4: “Electrical equipment for outdoor use”.

3. Safety
The instrument is used in the industrial sector.The operator is therefore responsible for
legal obligations regarding safety at work.
The safety instructions within these operating instructions, as well as the safety, accident
prevention and environmental protection regulations for the application area must be
maintained.
The operator is obliged to maintain the product label (see chapter 3.7 “Labelling, safety
marks”) in a legible condition.
To ensure safe working on the instrument, the operating company must ensure

that suitable first-aid equipment is available and aid is provided whenever required.

that the skilled electrical personnel are regularly instructed in all topics regarding
safety at work, first aid and environmental protection and know the operating
instructions and in particular, the safety instructions contained therein.

that the instrument is suitable for the particular application in accordance with its
intended use.

that personal protective equipment is available.
3.4 Responsibility of the operator
WARNING!
Risk of injury should qualification be insufficient
Improper handling can result in considerable injury and damage to
property.

The activities described in these operating instructions may only be
carried out by skilled personnel who have the qualifications described
below.
3.5 Personnel qualification
Skilled electrical personnel
Skilled electrical personnel are understood to be personnel who, based on their
technical training, know-how and experience as well as their knowledge of country-
specific regulations, current standards and directives, are capable of carrying out work
on electrical systems and independently recognising and avoiding potential hazards.
The skilled electrical personnel have been specifically trained for the work environment
they are working in and know the relevant standards and regulations.The skilled
electrical personnel must comply with current legal accident prevention regulations.

14528931.03 11/2023 EN/DE
3. Safety
The requirements for the required protective equipment result from the ambient
conditions at the place of use, other products or the connection to other products.
The requisite personal protective equipment must be provided by the operating
company.The operator is in no way relieved of his obligations under labour law for the
safety and the protection of workers' health.
The design of the personal protective equipment must take into account all operating
parameters of the place of use.
3.6 Personal protective equipment
Special knowledge for working with instruments for hazardous areas
The skilled electrical personnel must have knowledge of ignition protection types,
regulations and provisions for equipment in hazardous areas.
For this, the additional operating instruction: 14537280 for Ex equipment must also be
observed.
Special operating conditions require further appropriate knowledge, e.g. of special
external conditions.
