Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RON CRANE SCALES from 3G Electric.
What is the accuracy specification for Ron Crane Scales dynamometers?
Most Ron Crane Scales dynamometers provide +/-0.1% accuracy, as seen in models like the RON 2501-S12CC, RON 2000-S25CC, and RON 2601-RCM series. This accuracy applies across the capacity range, from 1,000 lb to 50,000 lb. Readability varies by model, typically from 0.5 lb to 20 lb, depending on the maximum capacity. For example, the 1,000 lb model has 0.5 lb readability, while the 50,000 lb models offer 20 lb readability. This level of precision supports load monitoring and tension measurement in lifting and rigging applications. Calibration certificates are included with many models to verify performance.
What is the difference between the RON 2000 and RON 2501 series crane dynamometers?
The RON 2000 series features a corded remote indicator, while the RON 2501 series uses a wireless remote display. Both offer +/-0.1% accuracy and similar capacities. The 2000 series models, such as RON 2000-S25CC and RON 2000-S20CC, include a handheld wired remote and may carry CE/UL standards. The 2501 series, like RON 2501-S12CC and RON 2501-S10CC, includes a wireless remote display and often an IP65 rating for the housing. The choice depends on whether a cable connection is acceptable or if wireless operation is preferred for the application.
Are Ron Crane Scales dynamometers rated for outdoor or washdown environments?
Select models carry IP65 or IP67 ratings. The IP65 rating, found on models like the RON 2501-S10CC and RON 2000-S20CC, indicates protection against dust and water jets. The IP67 rating, on the RON 2601-RCM series, indicates protection against dust and temporary immersion in water. These ratings make the dynamometers suitable for outdoor use, washdown areas, or other environments where exposure to dust and moisture is a concern. Always verify the specific model's IP rating before use in harsh conditions.
What weighing units are available on Ron Crane Scales dynamometers?
Ron Crane Scales dynamometers can display weight in pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), short tons, or metric tons. The available units depend on the model. For example, the RON 2501-S12CC displays in metric tons, the RON 2000-S25CC in short tons, and the RON 2601-RCM S250CC in kilograms. Some models offer dual-unit switching. This flexibility allows users to match the instrument to their preferred measurement system. When ordering, specify the required weighing units to ensure the correct model is supplied.
What accessories are included with Ron Crane Scales dynamometers?
Most Ron Crane Scales dynamometers include a load cell, remote display (corded or wireless), carrying case, instruction manual, and calibration certificate. Some models also include an RS-232 data outlet for connecting to external devices. For example, the RON 2501DO-S25CC includes a load cell, wireless remote display, instruction manual, calibration certificate, carrying case, and RS-232 data outlet. The carrying case provides protection during transport and storage. The calibration certificate documents the instrument's accuracy at the time of manufacture. Always check the specific product listing for the exact included items.
What is the maximum capacity available in the Ron Crane Scales dynamometer line?
The Ron Crane Scales dynamometer line includes models with capacities up to 50,000 lb (approximately 22,680 kg). Examples include the RON 2000-S25CC and RON 2501DO-S25CC, both rated to 50,000 lb. Lower capacity models start at 1,000 lb, such as the RON 2000-S005CC. This range covers a wide variety of lifting, rigging, and load testing applications. For capacities beyond 50,000 lb, consult 3G Electric for availability of other models or custom solutions.
