Failure of the product can occur due to misapplication, abuse, overloading, or improper care and maintenance.
There are numerous government and industry standards that cover products manufactured and sold by Straight point Ltd. This document makes no attempt to reference all of them. We do reference standards that are most current like ASME B30.26-2010 “detachable load indicating devices.”
Ratings shown in Straight point Ltd literature are only applicable to new or “as new condition” products.
Rated capacities define the greatest force or load a product can carry under usual or normal environmental conditions. Shock loading and extraordinary conditions must be taken into account when selecting products and product capacity.
Some of the products in the Straight point Ltd catalogues are designed for use with rigging hardware and components which could be supplied from several different manufacturers. It is crucial that you read and understand the literature from these manufacturers, as well as governmental standards and industry technical manuals.
The rated capacity, design factor and efficiency rating of each Straight point Ltd product may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age and other use conditions.
The recommended proof load on all items manufactured and sold by Straight point Ltd is twice the working load limit (WLL), unless otherwise shown. Proof testing is included on all Straight point Ltd load indicating products.

Once the batteries are fitted the Radio link should be fitted with the correct shackle for the capacity of the Radio link.
The WLL is marked on the front of every Radio link e.g. Max: 6.5 tonnex 0.001te
Before using the Radio link make sure the capacity of the load cell is suitable for the task being undertaken.
Straight point recommend Crosby shackles.
When using the Radio link please ensure the operator is positioned at a safe distance but within range and in the direction of the Radio link radio output.

RLP Atex using a load cell

Avoid shock loads. Do not apply large twisting forces to these devices as it may damage them beyond repair.
If using RLP with SW-HHP ATEX handheld please refer to user manual SU3558 for guidance on that product.
Remove the device from the test site, clean and store, ideally in a Straight point carry case. If the device is to be stored for long periods of time please remove the load cell and handheld display batteries.

Product aftercare

These devices are sealed to IP67/NEMA6 standards.
The effects of solvent on the device can not be guaranteed, and should therefore be avoided.
Avoid use within 20-30 minutes of rapid changes in temperature, for example moving the device from a cold vehicle into a warm room.
The change in temperature can affect the accuracy of the device. The operating temperature is -10 to +50° C or 14 to 122° F.

Should the display show “OVERLOAD” remove the load immediately as this indicates an overload situation.
Check that the load applied is within the working load limit of the device. If it continues to display overload, contact your supplier.

Service and calibration

These products are supplied with a certificate of calibration which is valid for one year.
After this date, it is recommended the device is recalibrated by Straight point or an approved calibration laboratory.
Contact the Straight point service department or your supplier for more information.
