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.

WNI Atex radio emissions
WNI Atex using a load cell
When positioning the Wireless Compression Load Cell it is important to ensure
that the load cell is correctly done so in relationship to where the receiving
device is located.
Note the direction of the wireless signal in the diagram on the opposite page.
If you are using your wireless compression load cell with a SW-HHP Atex – see
user manual SU3558.
When using the Wireless Compression Load Cell please ensure the operator is
positioned at a safe distance but within range and in the direction of the
Wireless Compression Load Cell radio output.
Place the load cell on a base plate or surface that is sufficiently strong
enough to withstand the load applied.
This mounting surface should be flat, smooth and level.
The top of the load cell is domed; packing plates or a load cap may be
required to protect the item being loaded on to the load cell.
Product aftercare
