7.1

Important precautions during installation

S Handle the transducer with care.
S Comply with the requirements for the force application parts as specified in
Section 7.3 and Section 7.5.
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 provides the highly flexible
EEK ground cable for this purpose, for example. It can be screwed on
above and below the transducer.
S Make sure that the transducer cannot be 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.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid overloads (see Specifications
in Chapter 11, page 35) or to protect against resulting dangers.
7.2

General installation guidelines

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