Introduction

Dear Customer, Thank you for choosing a DINI ARGEO product.

The suspended crane scale you have purchased is ideal for weighing in industrial environments.
It is equipped with high performance weighing electronics, precise and durable, and features a multifunctional
program that can help you perform your daily tasks. Before using the instrument, please read this instruction manual
carefully in order to be able to use it in complete safety and to learn about all of the functions it offers.

Safety information - Warnings

The safety precautions described in this manual, marked with the symbol, must be followed during all installation,
use, maintenance or repair stages of the weighing system.
Any use other than that reported in this manual, as well as not following the safety precautions, relieves the
manufacturer from any responsibility and will void the product warranty.
• Read this manual carefully before performing any operation.
• NEVER load the suspended crane scale beyond the maximum capacity stated on the plate of the weight
readout instrument.
• It is forbidden to use the scale in environments where there is the danger of fire or explosion
• Apply the load to the hook only when the load is resting on the ground.
• Before using the suspended crane scale, ensure it is in perfect working order.
• For correct weighing results, the load must be raised by at least 5-10 cm from the ground (Paragraph
“Load lifting and weight reading”).
• Do not expose the suspended crane scale to atmospheric agents (sun, rain, etc.).
• Use the suspended crane scale in non-condensing environments with moderate temperature and humi-
dity levels.
• Use the suspended crane scale where there are no vibrations.
• Carefully read and apply the description of the suspended crane scale in this manual.
• To clean the suspended crane scale, avoid the use of solvents or aggressive substances.
• It is forbidden to make any modifications to the suspended crane scale if not authorised by the manu-
facturer.
• It is forbidden to use the suspended crane scale when it no longer fulfils the safety criteria.
• It is forbidden to use flammable products to clean the instrument.
• It is forbidden to wash the suspended crane scale with direct water jets.
• Do not pour liquids on the indicator.
• Anything not expressly described in this manual constitutes improper use of the equipment.

i
• The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the product indicates that the product, at the end of its
working life, must be taken to the appropriate separate collection centres or returned to the retailer
when a new equivalent product is purchased.
• Appropriate separate collection of the product for subsequent recycling helps to avoid potential
negative effects on the environment and health and promotes the recycling of materials. Unau-
thorised disposal of the product by the user will result in the application of administrative sanctions
provided for by law.

Safety devices

SAFETY DEVICES

Noise

Noise measurements have been carried out in accordance with the provisions of standards UNI EN 11200 and
UNI EN ISO 3746.
During the operating cycles, under conditions of perfect operation and maintenance, the noise exposure of
personnel is less than 70 dB.
It is the user's responsibility to apply the resulting preventive and protective measures, in compliance with the
legislation of the country where the machine is installed and used.

Vibrations

The vibrations produced by the machine, according to its operating mode, are not dangerous to the health of the
operators.

WARNING
Excessive vibration can only be caused by a mechanical fault that must be immediately reported and
eliminated, in order not to compromise the safety of the line and of the operators.

Residual risks

The machine has been designed to assure the essential safety requirements for the operator.
Safety has been integrated into the design and construction of the machine as much as possible; however, risks
remain that operators must be protected against.
For each residual risk, a description of the risk and of the zone or part of the machine subject to the residual risk is
provided (unless it is a risk valid for the entire machine). Procedural information on how to avoid the risk and on the
correct use of the personal protection devices provided and required by the Manufacturer is also given.

Risk Description and procedural information

Risk of crushing The risk of crushing lower limbs under the load during its descent remains.

Risk of falling load The risk of the load falling and crushing during lifting operations remains.

Packaging and handling

Packaging

The electronic suspended crane scale is delivered in its cardboard packaging designed to protect the instrument
from possible shocks or falls during transport. Transport must be carried out taking into account that the specific
packaging must not be compressed either from above or from the sides by any external bodies. It is important that the
packaging and the electronic suspended crane scale are stored in enclosed places that respect the environmental
conditions.
Upon receiving the instrument, the customer must verify that there is no damage caused by the mode of transport or
by the personnel in charge of the specific operations.
If damage is detected, leave the instrument in question as is and immediately request the assessment of the damage
by the competent shipping company, then report the discovered damage to the competent transport insurance and
sales outlet with a damage certificate.

Packaging handling

WARNING
Take care when handling the packaging to avoid shocks or falls that could cause injury to persons and/
or damage to the instrument.
If required, carry out the handling procedure with the help of several people or with appropriate means.

Refer to the following table to check the weight of your model.

Use

Checks before use

Before using the suspended crane scale, check that:

• the instrument is complete with all its parts and does not present obvious damage;
• the area of use is clear of any obstacles;
• there are no losses of consumables in the area under the machine;
• the labels installed on the suspended crane scale are in place and legible;
• check the status of the shackles/hook;
• check the status of the crane;
• check nuts and split pins.

IMPORTANT
If faults and/or anomalies are detected, report them to the personnel in charge.

Load lifting and weight reading

A. Turn on the suspended crane scale and wait for the display to reset.
B. Lift the load, as shown in the figure below.
C. The weighing value can be read on the display.

max 5 - 10 cm

Weighing accuracy is achieved when the suspended crane scale is fully stationary.

WARNING
Make sure the load is fully raised from the ground.
