6.1 Important precautions during
installation
S Handle the transducer with care.
S Welding currents must not be allowed to flow over the
transducer. If there is a risk that this might happen,
you must use a suitable low‐ohm connection to elec­
trically bypass the transducer. HBM, for example,
provides the highly flexible EEK ground cable, which
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 over­
loaded. This can cause danger for the operating person­
nel of the system in which the transducer is installed.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid over­
loads or to protect against the resulting dangers.

General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act on the transducer
as accurately as possible in the direction of measure­
ment. Torsional and bending moments, eccentric load­
ings and lateral forces can produce measurement errors
and can destroy the transducer if limit values are
exceeded. Interference effects must be absorbed by suit­
able construction elements, whereby these elements
