MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

6.1

Important precautions during installation

Notice
Transducers are precision measuring instruments and must be handled carefully. Knocking
or dropping them can lead to unexpected overloading with permanent
damage, even when in measuring mode. Make sure that the transducer cannot be over­
loaded, including while it is being mounted. The specifications list the permissible limits
for mechanical stresses.
S
Handle the transducer with care.
S
Ensure 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 overloading and to protect against
resulting dangers.
S
If alternating loads are expected, use a (medium strength) threadlocker to glue the
screws into the counter thread to exclude prestressing loss due to screw slackening.
S
Complying with the mounting dimensions is essential for correct operation.
Important
Even if the unit is installed correctly, the zero point adjustment made at the factory can
shift by up to approx. 0.5% of the sensitivity. If this value is exceeded, we advise you to
check the mounting conditions. If the residual zero drift when the unit is removed is greater
than 1% of the sensitivity
testing.

Conditions on site

Protect the transducer from weather conditions such as rain, snow, ice, and salt water.
Ambient temperature
There is wide ranging compensation for the effects of temperature on the zero signal and
on sensitivity (see the "Specifications" chapter, starting on page 40). To obtain optimum
