Mechanical installation

6.1

Important precautions during installation

S Handle the transducer with care.
S Comply with the requirements for the force application parts, as specified in
sections 5.3 and 5.4.
S Welding currents must not be allowed to flow over the transducer. If there is
a risk that this might happen, you must provide a suitable low-ohm connec­
tion to electrically bypass the transducer. HBM offers the highly flexible EEK
ground cable in various lengths for this purpose, which can be screwed on
above and below the transducer.
S Make sure that the transducer is not overloaded.
WARNING
There is a danger of the transducer breaking if it is overloaded. This can cause
danger for the operating personnel of the system in which the transducer is
installed, as well as for people in the vicinity.
Implement appropriate safeguards to avoid a force overshoot (see Chapter 11
"Specifications", page 30) or to protect against any dangers that may result.
6.2

General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act on the transducer as accurately as possi­
ble in the direction of measurement. Torques, bending moments resulting from
lateral force, eccentric loading and the lateral forces themselves, may produce
measurement errors and destroy the transducer, if limit values are exceeded.
