LOAD CELL TESTER
1 Introduction
This user manual for Load Cell Tester is intended for operating, maintenance and supervisory
personnel.
This manual (supplied in digital and printed formats) is part of the unit documentation set and
must be read before initial equipment installation and operation.
The validity of the manual can be compromised by post-delivery engineering modifications or
regulatory changes that affect equipment use, ratings and limits. All Elmar engineering
changes are documented in as-built drawings, even after product delivery. This means the
latest drawings always take precedence over manuals. If in doubt, contact Elmar.
It contains the following sections:

Never disconnect, change or remove safety devices, and use such devices
correctly.
Be aware of all emergency equipment and procedures (such as alarms, abandon
ship, etc.) and make sure they are in place and valid.
Do not use the equipment after an emergency without verifying that the cause of
the emergency has been removed or rectified.
Immediately inform the employer and other workers of any situation that
represents a serious danger to safety and health, and of the shortcomings in
protection arrangements.
Plan all operations including interdependencies with other equipment operations
If equipment is tied down using rope/line/chains, attach a "flag" to signal their
location.

3.2.2 Identification of components within a unit
Identify unit part number as described above, e.g. 12345678-001 or 6901001234.
Look at the drawing with the same number, e.g. DD12345678-001 or
DD6901001234.
The Bill of Material for this drawing will consist of 8-3 digit format sub-assembly
numbers e.g. 12345678-001 or beginning with 65, e.g. 6501009999.
Look at the drawing with the same number, e.g. DD12345678-001 or
DD6501009999
The Bill of Material for this drawing will show the part numbers for individual
components. (In some cases, 65 sub-assemblies reference further 65 sub-
assemblies which then reference individual part numbers).

4 Functional Description
NOTE: The load cell tester is only to be used to verify that the load cell is functioning and is not to be used as a
calibration device. The load cell tester is only to be used up to 2,000 kgf (4,410 lbf), which may not cover the full
operational range of the measuring head or readout device.

6 Operation
NOTE: The maximum load that the load cell tester can apply is 2,000 kgf (4,410 lbf)
Tighten the nut with a 30 mm torque wrench until the tension readout device reads the value
6 Operation
shown in STEP 1 of the applicable table and hold for 1 minute to allow the pressure to
equalise within the system.
Write down the required torque, measured using the torque wrench, on the Tension Test
Results sheet.
NOTE: This should be within 10% to the value given in the table.
Repeat the previous two operations for each step in the applicable table, with a minimum 30
second interval between each step.
Remove the Load Cell Tester from the measuring head by loosening the nut to the top
position and withdrawing it.
Inspect the measuring head and Load Cell Tester for any signs of damage.
Clean and store the Load Cell Tester according to the instructions in Section 5.1 (p.11)
If testing the MP16-IV measuring head, reinstall the pressure wheel assembly.
Table 4: Testing checklist
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The tension readout device will need to be continuously monitored to ensure that it is not
overloaded whilst the Load Cell Tester nut is being tightened. If excessive force is applied
the tension readout device may be damaged. Do not subject the tension readout device to
a load greater than its maximum rated load.
CAUTION
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
The load cell tester does not require excessive effort for its operation. If effort seems
excessive for observed load at the tension readout device, remove the load cell tester and
check the equipment.
MAN-1076975/D TFO-10006156/B
LOAD CELL TESTER
Compare the actual torque values from the load cell test to the expected values.
Confirm that the tension readout device correctly gives a load measurement throughout its
entire range.

7 Maintenance
7.1 Introduction
Only qualified and trained personnel should perform maintenance on Elmar units. The
maintenance procedures described here include:
Scheduled periodic (preventive); (e.g. cleaning, inspecting and testing
components, filling fluid levels and lubricating moving parts)
Corrective (troubleshooting and repairing any malfunctions, plus
calibrating/adjusting)
Exchanging parts (according to operational requirements)
The unit can experience extreme forces and rugged conditions, so scheduled maintenance
7 Maintenance
is regularly required to prevent equipment damage and potential hazards. Inspections and
tests should be carried out daily before working with the unit, but regular maintenance
must be performed according to the number of hours the unit has been run. Running hours
should be logged by the operator following a strict discipline to ensure maintenance
activities are carried out on time (an example running hours log form is provided in the
Appendices to this manual). Elmar recommends basing the service intervals on hours of
running; you may prefer to use calendar time of weeks or months.
Refer to the Appendix ‘Tightening Conventions’ for instructions on tightening nuts and
bolts when doing preventive or corrective maintenance.
