1 PRESENTATION

The dynafor™ LLXh dynamometers are precision appliances (0.2% ISO 376 . 21°C), for measuring pul-
ling force and indicating loads. The capacity scale ranges from 150 kN to 2500 kN.

A dynafor™ LLXh is made up of a sensor and a mobile display unit.

A two-way radio link-up using the 2.4 GHz wave band conects the two components.

16 radio channels are used. Each display unit and sensor have their own address, enabling unequivocal
identification in the event of a multiple set-up.

The shape of the dynamometers enable the use of standard shackles on both ends.

The technologies implemented on a radio and software level of fer, aside from the standard uses to be GB
expected from an industrial dynamometer , multiple configuration possibilities that combine several
sensors with several display units. They also of fer access to advanced function such as: saving,
threshold management, monitoring etc.

The PC – USB link permits to dowload, save and manage measurements data.

The standard version of the equipment comes with batteries and power pack in a plastic carrying case for
capacities up to 50 t and wood case for 100 t and 250 t.

a) A sensor
b) A display unit and battery charger
c) An operating and maintenance instruction manual
d) A certificate of adjustment
e) A certificate of CE compliance

1.1 Operating Principle

The operating principle of the dynafor ™ LLXh 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.

The sensor generates an electrical signal that is proportional to the load. This signal is processed by a
micro-processor analyser and then transmitted via radio waves to the display unit, which immediately
displays the load applied to the sensor to which it is linked.

When switched on, the sensor data, such as identification and date of last metrology check, is displayed
on the display unit.
The display unit is compatible with all of the LLXh model sensors, irrespective of their capacity . Unless
otherwise ordered, the radio link-up between the LLXh and LLX2 sensor and the display unit is set defi-
nitively in the factory before dispatch. After this, the radio link can be configured by the user to meet their
requirements.

3.2 Installation

When installing you must:

a) make sure that the load line anchoring point(s) are suf ficiently 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.

OK
9
 3.3 Utilization

Only use dynafor™ LLXh in traction, avoiding compression, twisting or flexing.

The appliance can be used in all directions, including horizontally .
The dynafor™ LLXh 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.

3.4 Uninstallation

When uninstalling the appliance, first make sure that it is no longer subject to any traction stress.

4 UTILIZATION PROHIBITIONS

GB
It is prohibited:
• To use dynafor™ LLXh 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 uncover the sensor or display unit.
• To use the appliance for operations other than those described in this manual.

5 OVERLOAD INDICATOR

When the load applied to the sensor exceeds the maximum

capacity of the appliance of 10 % ( e.g.: a 25 t loaded at 27.5 t )
the display unit indicates an overload message " HI" as shown
opposite, and emits an intermittent beep.

If several sensors are connected to the display unit, the overloaded

sensor will be immediately identified.
In the example display opposite, relating to a two-sensor set up,
the sensor on the second line is overloaded.

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.

10
6 OPERATION IN SINGLE CONFIGURATION

Single configuration consists of using an assembly made up of one sensor and one display unit for mea-
suring and displaying the stress on the sensor . Depending on the user ’s requirements, the display unit
can either be attached to the sensor or be separated from it.

Unless otherwise ordered, the radio link-up between the sensor and the display unit is set definitively
in the factory before dispatch. After this, the radio link can be configured by the user to meet their
requirements. ( see: Chapter 7: Operation in multiple configuration )

7 OPERATION IN MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION

7.1 Generalities

Multiple configuration consists of linking up the four sensors to anything up to four display units.The sen-
sors can have different capacities.
( For more than four sensors the PC option is required. See chapter 8 )

For some applications it is useful to display the measures coming from several sensors on just one dis-
play unit.
Example: Lifting a load with a two- winch suspended load bar, each winch equipped with a sensor. The
grouping of the two strain measures on the same display unit enables the operator to view two
strains and their total and to check the correct distribution of the load between the two winches.

For other applications it is useful to have the display of the stress measurement from one sensor on
several display units.
Example: Two operators are manoeuvring a load. One guides the manoeuvre, the other monitors and
saves the stress levels. It should be noted that in an application with several display units, only
the "Master Unit", has control over the sensor, the other "Slave units", repeat the data coming
from the Master Unit.

Certain applications require several sensors on several display units.

Example: Complex manipulation of a load, like a hydro-electric power station turbine, carried out by
several participants, working on different levels.

Display Unit and Two Slave Units

7.3 Safety Recommendations

When setting up a multiple configuration, you must physically assemble and

identify all of the components: sensors, Slave display units and Master display
unit before starting to link them.

This operation is essential if you are to avoid an improbable, but possible,

confusion with a component that does not belong in the set up.

24
7.4 General procedure for setting up multiple configurations

1) Unlock the components (see section 7.5.1 ), sensors and display

units, to be used in the multiple configuration.
2) Switch off all hardware.

1) Select a unit to be the Master Display Unit in the

configuration.
2) Select the unit(s) that will be the Slave units in the
configuration.
3) Check / Set appropriate mode ( see section 7.5.4 )

GB
1) Switch on Master unit and use to check that no foreign element is present
on the Master radio channel. ( see section 7.5.5 )
2) If needed select another channel ( see section 7.5.6 )

1) Switch off the Master unit.

2) Switch on all other compo-
nents apart from the Master
unit.
3) Switch on Master unit.

The components to be included, using the Master unit

channel, are identified by the Master and automatically
associated with a multiple configuration.

7.5.2 Locking an assembly.

Unless otherwise ordered, the radio link-up between the sensor and the display unit is “locked” in the
factory before dispatch. In this configuration, the sensor / display unit assembly, switched on, creates a
sealed "couple" impervious to any other radio link.
On switching on, the display unit only seeks out the sensor to which it is locked.

To lock an assembly, follow the instructions described hereafter:

Using the arrows, move to the icon: and confirm with .

 7.5.3 Associating an assembly

To be able to operate in "Multiple Configuration", the sensor / Slave display unit must be "associated"
with the Master display unit.
On switching on, the display unit seeks out all the sensors that are powered up and operating on its radio
channel.

To associate an assembly, follow the instructions described hereafter:

Using the arrows, move to the icon: and confirm with .

 7.5.5 Radio channel availability

When switching on the Master display unit of a multiple configuration, it will scan the radio environment
in order to ensure that the radio channel selected to create the multiple configuration is not already in
use by other appliances that are foreign to the future configuration.
Should the case arise, the display unit will display the message " CHANNEL OCCUPIED". In this case,
select a other channel (see § 7.5.6)

To check radio channel availability, follow the instructions provided hereafter:
