The ATEX hand control is an intrinsically safe rugged and versatile digital handheld display with a broad range of features and is suitable for all Straightpoint ATEX/IECEx load cell products. With the option to read up to four SP Ex load cells simultaneously allowing the operator to monitor a multi-pick point lift from a single handheld.

With a range of 500m or 1640ft enables the user to measure loads from a safe distance in hazardous areas zones 0,1 & 2, such as offshore oil rigs and petrochemical plants

At the heart of the ergonomically designed ATEX Handheld plus is a powerful PCB providing industry-leading features such as user selectable units of measure (tonnes, lbs, kg and kN), peak hold, pre-set tare and an on-screen overload warning and loadcell calibration due warning.

Straightpoint’s expanded range of ATEX products conforms with a new directive—2014/34/EU—that becomes effective today (20 April 2016), updating 94/9/EC.
At the turn of the year, the force measurement, load monitoring and suspended weighing load cell equipment manufacturer launched an ATEX and IECEx version of its most popular product, the Radiolink Plus wireless load cell, which met Zone 0, 1 and 2 hazardous area classification.
An ATEX version of the wireless Handheld Plus followed, while other wireless products including compression cells, shackle cells, load pins and the Running Line Dynamometer (or TIMH), part of the manufacturer’s tension in motion range, are also in accordance with the 2014/34/EU directive and boast classification in the three-zone, including 0 (an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is present continuously or for long periods)—unprecedented in wireless below-the-hook force measurement technology.

The criteria of ATEX and IECEx are broadly similar, although the former is widely accepted throughout Europe, while the latter is required in many other global markets.
The ATEX version of the load cell and the wireless handheld unit contains several safety components that permit its use in Zone 0 environments. A separate storage area has been created at Straightpoint’s Havant, UK headquarters and all production personnel have been specially trained in the assembly of the explosion-proof units.

The Straightpoint hazardous area range of Load Measurement Pins (LMP’s) are designed for use in applications where an end of line load cell cannot be used an integrated solution is required.

Often a customised solution they are manufactured from high tensile stainless steel and are normally supplied complete with an anti-rotation plate as a wireless solution with a range of up to 500m or 1640 feet.
Load data is transmitted wirelessly utilising the latest in IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) technology providing safe, high integrity, error-free transmission of both static weight and dynamic load to our SW-HHP-ATEX handheld controller for use in hazardous areas.

This latest range of Loadpins utilise easily sourced Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA Batteries and features advanced circuitry designed to protect the unit from damage associated with incorrectly installed batteries. This advanced circuitry extends battery life eliminates issues associated with rechargeable battery pack charging, failure and replacement.

Note: Please advise cable configuration on order - Radial or Axial Pin exit. ATEX is only available as a wireless option. If you require an ATEX Wireless Load pin to a particular size and design, download our Load pin Questionnaire and return POA.

Typical displacement of a loadpin under full load is around 0.04mm:	The typical lifespan of a 1mv/v loadpin is more than 10 billion cycles:

General Description

Loadpin General Description
A load measuring pin senses the force applied across it, via strain gauges installed within a small bore through the centre of the pin. Two grooves are machined into the outer circumference of the pin to define the shear planes, which are located between the forces being measured.

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

Load Pin Environmental Protection
As the instrumented area of the load pin is totally contained within a small central bore, the load pin sensor is inherently waterproof. Manufactured from special stainless steels, fitted with welded or `O' ring sealed end caps and with special attention to the signal cable glanding, a very high operating reliability can be guaranteed even for load pins operating underwater.

Typical Locations

Loadpin Typical Locations
If a pin exists within a defined load path or can be fitted to experience a force, then a Straightpoint Load Pin can be installed to monitor that load. The sketches below show typical locations for load pins. 

Locking Systems

Loadpin Locking Systems
A load-measuring pin needs to be securely locked into position to fix its orientation for its associated assembly. This needs to be fixed, both in the axial and rotation modes, to ensure that accurate and repeatable results are obtained from the system.

A standard load pin is designed to sense the force in one direction only. A force at right angles to that force will produce a zero output from the sensor.

Cable & Connector Arrangements

Loadpin Cable & Connector Arrangements
The signal cable can normally exit from the load pin to suit the installation and space requirements. Emphasis should be placed on the protection of the cabling system from accidental damage during installation and use. A plug and socket breakdown can be incorporated at the load pin if required. Extra protection can be provided over the standard polyurethane sheathed cable in the form of hydraulic hose. This provides excellent protection with the advantage of associated fittings being readily available.

Requires connection to Straightpoint’s Handheld plus (HHP), Desktop Controller data logging software (DCP10M) or External Amplifier range (SA-3420) that can be configured to provide outputs such as 4-20mA, 0-10v, 0-5v for PLC or data logger integration.
