Lift-off Protection

For safety reasons, a lift-off protection has to be provided generally in all systems of tank and hopper
weighing. It can be realized separately or with the help of mounting kits. The simplest design requires a
threaded rod, three nuts, one serrated lock washer and one washer.

Capacity Selection

The load cell PR 6201 has a high overload capacity due to the fact that the stress in the measuring element
is low (1 mV/V). Forces which are exceeding the max. load without damage limit may change the
characteristic of the load cell or in the worst case damage the electrical part. If an exceeding of a.m. limit is
possible, e.g. falling loads, a mechanical overload protection (limit stop) is strongly recommended.
