1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing PCE-DDM series crane scales from PCE Instruments.

These crane scales which are made of high-quality materials are perfectly suitable for mobile tension measurements, e. g. as carried out by consultants. They have a high measurement capacity but are also compactly constructed with a low net weight.

2 Safety notes

2.1 General

Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The device may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel. There is no warranty of damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual.

- The device may only be used in approved temperature ranges as laid down in the specifications.

Exposure to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme atmospheric humidity or wetness (e.g. wet hands) must be avoided.

- The case must only be opened by qualified personnel of PCE Instruments.

- The instrument should never be placed with the user interface facing an object (e.g. keyboard side on a table).

- You should not make any technical changes to the device.

- The appliance should only be cleaned with a damp cloth / use only pH-neutral cleaner, no abrasives or solvents.

- If you do not use the device for a longer period of time, remove the batteries.

- The device may only be used with PCE accessories or equivalent.

- Do not use the device in potentially explosive atmospheres.

- Do not weigh more than the maximum capacity.

- To avoid hazards arising from load lifting, the producer as well as the user have to comply with certain duties. The use of the measuring equipment may at no time be hazardous.

- The person responsible for the measuring equipment as well as the user must observe and fulfill the national regulations, e. g. regulations for accident prevention, safety regulations, work protection regulations and all other regulations applicable for the use of the measuring equipment.

- Other directives such as regulations and safety information for the use of the measuring equipment must be borne in mind, for example those of the crane producer, of the load suspension device producer and of the shackle producer.

- In this relation, the measurement equipment may only be mounted, put into service, maintained and operated by qualified personnel using appropriate protective equipment.

- The measuring equipment must not be changed and may only be used for intended purposes.

- The measuring equipment as well as all other equipment (e. g. the crane, the load suspension devices etc.) must be maintained, serviced and accordingly recorded regularly. Before each use of this equipment, you should at least visually inspect it. In case the equipment is incomplete or damaged (e. g. cracks, deformations, split-offs) the equipment must be taken out of service. It is urgently necessary to get advice from your company's responsible safety representative regarding this matter.

- Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel and only quality-tested spare parts must be used. All repairs, maintenance work and spare parts must be documented by the service partner.

- The manual as well as the safety notes should always be with the measuring equipment.

- The measuring equipment is not ex-protected and may not be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. The environmental conditions such as the temperature ranges can be seen from the manual and must be adhered to. Aggressive or corrosive areas of application must be avoided. When the temperature fluctuates severely, an acclimatization period must be included.

- The measuring equipment is only approved for lifting and weighing freely-moveable loads. Torsion (torsional stress) of the load is not allowed. Carrying persons, pulling, tearing, towing etc. of loads is prohibited.

- The permissible nominal load [MAX] of the measuring equipment and other equipment in use (e.g. crane, lifting fixation device etc.) may under no circumstances be exceeded.

- When you use the equipment, you must always observe the possible danger zone. Do not enter the danger zone during use. This does not only include the area directly under the load but also the areas which can be dangerous due to e.g. swinging ropes or other load suspension devices.

This manual is published by PCE Instruments without any guarantee.

We expressly refer to our general guarantee terms, they can be found in our general terms of business.

If you have any questions please contact PCE Instruments.

2.2 Maintenance and inspection

- Inspection ahead of each use of the measuring equipment

When inspecting the equipment before starting work, the user must make sure that

• there are no visible deformations or other damage such as cracks,
• all attachment parts are complete and in good condition (e. g. safety splits etc.)
• the existing complete system does not inherit any hazards (e. g. faulty mounting etc.)

• the environment does not inherit any hazards and if so, that counter measures are taken.

• Regular inspection / maintenance

Every 3 months or 12500 measurements, whatever happens first.	- Control the wear and tear of the attachment parts.- Control all dimensions.- Consider all possible deformations and damage.- Make sure that all parts work properly.
Every 12 months or 50000 measurements, whatever happens first.	- Inspect all load-bearing parts, e. g. check for hairline cracks etc. Have maintenance carried out by qualified personnel.
Every 5 years or 250000 measurements, whatever happens first.	- All load-bearing parts must be replaced.
Every 10 years or 500000 measurements, whatever happens first.	- Service life of the equipment is over. Equipment must be replaced.

Only the owner or user is responsible for damage and injuries resulting from improper use or non-observance of the regulations. The producer assumes no liability for improper use. The safety notes are extracts from the valid norms and regulations along with some notes and tips. These do not replace the valid regulations and norms but must be seen as assistance for safe use of the equipment. Please read the valid national norms and regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE.

6 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
