Important precautions during installation

S Handle the transducer with care.
S Note the requirements for the force application parts in accordance with the
subsequent sections of these instructions.
S Welding currents must not be allowed to flow through the transducer. If
there is a risk that this might happen, you must provide a suitable low-ohm
connection to electrically bypass the transducer. HBM provides the highly
flexible EEK ground cable for this purpose, for example, that is 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 very greatly 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 or to protect
against the resulting dangers. The maximum possible mechanical loads,
especially the breaking force, are noted in the specifications.
When installing and operating the transducers, please note the maximum
parasitic forces - lateral forces, bending and torsional moments; see the
specifications and the maximum permissible loading capacity of the force
application parts used.
Please note that loads up to 3 MN always require centered force application!
