1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION The Huisman load measuring pins are custom made and specially designed and
manufactured for one unique location. Therefore, make sure that the right pin is
installed at the right location. The signal output and its load limit are for each pin dif-
ferent and are determined in cooperation with the client and engineers. Take addi-
tional safety measures with the first tests and convince yourself that the load
indicated by the LMP is the real load.
The operator must at all times be familiar with the appropriate capacity charts. The
LMP is an operator aid and is designed as back-up for the operator in order to stay
within the safe limits of the structure.

1.1 Product description and features

The Huisman Load Measuring Pin (LMP) is a sensor which measures shear and internally
transforms the shear into an industrially known 4 to 20 mA current signal. This current signal
can be used in any control system to display load or capacity.

The LMP is designed to meet the demand for an accurate, reliable and robust load measuring:

1. The LMP is made of stainless steel, remanite 1.4418.

2. Is completely watertight, IP66 standard, IP68 on request.
3. Is designed for harshest environments.
4. Upon delivery the LMP has been tested at least 3 times up to 150% of the nominal load,
the maximum load of the LMP design.
5. The LMP is calibrated in a test-bench with the same support as the construction.

1.2 The principle of a Load Measuring Pin

A load measuring pin measures the force applied across it,
via strain gauges installed within a small bore through the
centre of the pin. Two grooves are usually machined into the
outer diameter of the pin to increase sensitivety. These
groves are located at the position where the strain gauges
are located (see figure 1 and figure 2). Strain gauges are
bonded inside in a special way to measure shear. Strain
gauges work as resistors; the resistance value changes
when the length of the strain gauge changes. These strain
gauges are very sensitive and measure the smallest change
of deformation of the LMP. The LMP output is lineair to the
applied load within the limits stated in the calibration report.

A load proportional signal is obtained when the strain gauges are connected to each other in
the electric circuit of The Wheatstone bridge (see figure 3).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Page 2

 This signal is a micro voltage which is sensitive to disturbances; therefore it is amplified and
converted into a current signal. The current signal is a 4 to 20mA signal and corresponds with
the load applied on the LMP. The pin will be calibrated so the maximum load will be in the range
of 4 to 20 mA.

Figure 4: Huisman LMP

1.3 Typical load measuring circuit

The LMP needs a 24 Vdc power supply. The output signals of the load pins can be directly fed
to the computer systems such as a PLC or an indicator display, see figure 5.

Figure 5: Schematic overview of load measuring circuit

Load measuring pin

The LMP is positioned in such a way that the deformation of the strain gauges has a fixed rela-
tion to the monitored part.

Amplifier / MPA

The deformation changes the electrical resistance of the strain gauges. An amplifier converts
these changes into a signal between 4mA and 20mA. The signal has a linear relation with the
load; the milliampere range covers the load range.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Page 3

1.4 Production of the LMP
The LMP's are machined, produced and calibrated in-house by our well trained and experi-
enced craftsmen. By following strict procedures we ensure that all our load measuring pins are
fully reliable. Each LMP is custom made and according to our high quality standards.

Figure 6: Huisman test bench using a hydraulic calibration press

We introduced a way of testing which simulates real

circumstances as closely as possible. A test bench
with a hydraulic cylinder pushes up to 150% of the
nominal load to test the full strength and range of the
load pin. The loadpin is placed in a steel model rep-
resenting the actual construction in which it is going
to be built in. This method ensures that all influences
of the construction are taken into account.

The calibrations are carried out by applying three

series of calibration forces with increasing values
only. An officially stamped reference loadcell is used
to check the output of the loadpin. The reference
loadcell and loadpin are connected to a computer
with calibration software which calculates deviations
and non-linearity. Prior to actual calibration the load
pin is loaded three times to a value of 1.5 x nominal
load.
Figure 7: Calibration setup
If required the calibration process is witnessed by a
surveyor of a classification society. The calibration
results are supplied with this manual and can be
found in the appendix.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Page 4

2 MOUNTING THE LMP

The LMP's are custom-made and are designed to have the best fit in the structure. In many
cases the LMP can directly be inserted and used without any additional calibration.

2.1 Load direction

The load measuring pin has a fixed measuring direction and side loads have no influence on
the measuring signal. A locking plate is therefore used to keep the LMP in line with the resulting
load and to prevent it from turning.

The LMP can be mounted in one way only. The locking plate determines the correct way of
mounting. The locking plate is mounted square to the resulted force direction when the force
applied on the LMP has a positive direction only (see figure 8). The locking plate must always
be mounted at the side which is not loaded, this to prevent a measurement deviation. In case
the LMP can measure forces in two directions (pos+; neg-), the locking plate is mounted paral-
lel to the force direction (figure 9).

2.2 Positioning the LMP

For a proper functioning of the LMP a small play is essential. Grease the surface and make
sure the structure in which the pin is going to be inserted is in line; the pin should slide smoothly
into the construction.

NOTE Avoid hammering on or heating/cooling of the pin, this can damage the strain
gauges which are bonded inside the shaft.

MOUNTING THE LMP Page 6

 The load pin must have a small play on the jaws (see figure 11), this to prevent jamming which
could cause a misreading.

LOADING

2.3 Points of special interest

The LMP is a sensor which is designed to work in the most hostile environments; the stainless
steel covers protect the electronics inside against water and dust. Therefore, during mounting
of the LMP special care should be taken not to damage the connector or cover of the load pin.
Observe the following:

• Do not weld near or on the LMP. If welding near the pin is inevitable, then make sure the pin
is connected properly to earth.

MOUNTING THE LMP Page 7

• Do not hammer on the pin to get the pin in or out of place.
• Avoid shock loads on the pin.
• Avoid contamination of the pin.
• Do not heat up or cool down the metal near the pin or the pin itself.
• Grease bearings or moving parts around the pin thoroughly; this to prevent it from jamming.
• Do not paint the loadpin, connector or cable.
• Do not drill into the load pin.
• Avoid contamination of the connector.
• Make sure that moving parts cannot hit the connector.
• Give the cable enough slackness.
• Put grease on the thread lock of connectors with a screw lock.

3.3 Connectors
The LMP's can be equipped with one or two connectors:

- Gisma connector (for use above the water line)

- Subconn connector (for underwater or splash zone use only)

3.3.1 Gisma connector

The Gisma connectors are watertight and have corrosion resistant metal shells. These very
robust connectors meet VDE requirements for protection against electric shock hazard.

The receptacle is the male part and is mounted on the cover of the load pin. A keyway inside
the receptacle ensures that it can only be mounted in one way. The plug is the female part. The
contacts inside are protected by a heat-shrinkable sleeve, see for more information connecting
the Gisma connector, Appendix C: Cabling instructions for Gisma connectors.

3.3.2 Subconn connector

The Subconn connectors are made of high grade neoprene and guarantee a watertight solution
rated to full ocean depth. The bulkhead is the male part and is screwed into the loadpin cover
(thread is 7/16" x 20UNF). The female part is moulded to the cable with resin. The female and
male part are kept together by two red locking sleeves, see figure 17.

The following handling procedures should be adopted for the Subconn connectors:

• The connectors should not be exposed to long term heat or sunshine. If this occurs, and the
connectors are very dry, soak in fresh water before use.
• Ensure the connectors are lubricated, but just sparingly. Half a match head dose per contact
is adequate.The recommended lubricant is Molykote 44 medium.
• Any accumulation of sand or mud in the female contact should be removed with fresh water.
Failure to do so could result in splaying of the female contact and damage to the ring seals.
• Connectors are best cleaned with warm soak water. They do not have to be dried. Avoid
using chemical cleaners.
• Do not overtighten the bulkhead nuts. Recommended torque is 50Nm.
• Do not disconnect by pulling on the cable and avoid sharp bends at the cable entry.
• When disconnecting, pull straight and not in an angle.

CONNECTING THE LMP Page 11

• No angular loads are allowed on the bulkhead connector on the load pin, as this destroys the
connector

4 MAINTENANCE

4.1 Periodic checks

Every 6 months:
• Check locking plate: the locking plate should have some play in the cut-out in the pin. Check
the plate itself for signs of compression caused by a strongly turning pin.
• Check for contamination: remove rust, dust, mud or any dirt on or near the LMP.
• Check the connection: check for cracks in the connection or cable.
• Check the calibration: measure the output of the pin with known weights and compare it with
the calibration certificate. Every lift, with a known weight, can be used to check the working
of the LMP.
• Lubricate the bearing or moving structure thoroughly.
• Grease the threat of the connector with special silicone grease.

Every 12 months:
• Perform a calibration check with a known weight.

4.2 Log file

The operator can keep a log file with the load given by the LMP and the weight given on a cargo
manifest or calculation by engineers. By keeping a simple log file like this any abnormalities are
directly noticed. An example log file is inserted in the appendix.

4.3 Calibration
The load pins are factory calibrated within ±1% of full scale capacity. When the pins are
installed on a crane or equipment several influencing factors, in particular sheave friction, may
cause the indicated load to be other than the original calibration accuracy. The linearity of the
pin stays the same, but the offset (zero point) may shift in time due to external influences. How-
ever, a load pin accuracy of ± 2% of capacity can be considered acceptable. To get a more reli-
able indication of the accuracy take the average of the indication obtained during hoisting and
lowering operations.

For the calibration of the load reading two parameters are of importance: the offset and the
gain. By changing the offset the display can return to 0 ton and by changing the gain the high
value of the load can be set. This is explained by graphics in figure 19 and figure 20.

MAINTENANCE Page 13
 Figure 19: Offset (zero) adjustment Figure 20: Gain adjustment

Only change the offset to get 0 ton at the display when there is no load in the hook or no line-
pull.

The zero value changes when the LMP has been overloaded or when there is too much friction
or tension between the jaws of the structure in which the LMP is fitted (see figure 11 on page 7).
So first check the area of the pin before adjusting the offset value.

4.3.1 On site calibration procedure

Always use an official test weight to verify the load indication. This can be a water weight bag,
dead weight or load link as long as it is certified to use as a reference.

A table, as given in Appendix E: LMP calibration form, can be used to check the accuracy.
Always start from zero and measure the output of the LMP as a double check, because the
LMP can give the correct value but can be scaled wrong in the computer on which it is con-
nected at.

MAINTENANCE Page 14
5 TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1 No load readout

Check the following when the load read out is not working:

- Measure the power supply to the LMP, it should be ± 24 Vdc.

- Measure the current of the output signal; it should be above the 4mA (no weight) and less
than 20mA (maximum weight).
Tip: Make sure the multi-meter is switched to DC current and check the fuse of the multi
meter before measuring the output. If no current is measured, connect the multimeter
between signal wire and ground to double check that the load cell is failing (and not the
PLC card or wire).

When there is no current signal check the cabling to the LMP and the connector. If no abnor-
malities are visible then open the LMP:

- Check the power supply on the amplifier.

- Check the current output of amplifier.

6 REPLACING THE AMPLIFIER

The amplifier is fixed in the hollow head of the load measuring pin. In case of damage to the
amplifier it must be replaced. Take the following actions.

Step Action
1 Switch off supply voltage to the load pin.
2 Disconnect cable with connector from load pin.
3 Unscrew bolts and remove cover head/plate of the load pin
4 Desolder the following wires: (see chapter 3 for details)
• 3 wires on X2 coming from the connector
• 4 wires on X1 connected to the strain gauge bridge
5 Measure the resistance of the internal strain gauge bridge. The resistance values are given
on the Huisman calibration certificate, an example is given below:
• between black and blue: ± 175 Ω (check calibration certificate for exact values)
• between red and white: ± 175 Ω (check calibration certificate for exact values)
• between black and red: ± 131 Ω (check calibration certificate for exact values)
6 Measure the isolation resistance between one of the connections and the load pin, by means
of a multimeter on M Ω range. The isolation resistance should be >20 M Ω. In case the isola-
tion resistance is zero one of the wires or strain gauges makes contact with the pin, and the
pin cannot function properly. If the resistance is not correct please contact Huisman B.V.
7 Re-solder the following wires:
• 3 wires on X2 coming from the connector
• 4 wires on X1 connected to the strain gauge bridge
8 Place back cover and tighten bolts.
9 Connect cable with connector to LMP.
10 Switch on power supply.

WARNING
Do not use a megger instrument, as this will ruin the strain gauges due to its high out-
put voltage! Use a multimeter with an output voltage of ± 500V.
