Product description 
2.2  Use for the intended purpose 
The vSCALE D3 is the operable component of the safe load indicator (SLI).  
The SLI detects a crane overload status depending on various parameters.  
The crane driver is warned well before the onset of an overload status via visual and acoustic 
warning signals.  
Although the system has signal outputs to switch off the crane movements which increase the load 
moment, this power-off should only be effective with corresponding external wiring.  
Although the system incorporates functions for monitoring adjustable geometrical limit values with 
visual and acoustic warnings and a relay output in the event of limit values being exceeded, the 
system cannot be used as an operational limit switch. 
The crane driver is responsible for the safe operation of the crane.
