must continue to be extensively connected. Note that the
protection class of your force transducer will decrease if
the cable connection is not tight and water can penetrate
the cable. Transducers with an integrated cable can be
irreparably damaged and fail under these circumstances.

EMC protection
Electrical and magnetic fields can often induce interfer
ence voltages in the measuring circuit. Pay attention to
the following points to avoid this:
S Use shielded, low-capacitance measurement cables
only (HBM cables fulfill both conditions).
S Do not route the measurement cable parallel to power
lines and control circuits. If this is not possible, protect
the measurement cable with metal tubing.
S Avoid stray fields from transformers, motors and con
tact switches.
S Connect all the devices in the measuring chain to the
same protective conductor.
