MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

7.1

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 provide a suitable low-ohm connection 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 or to protect against the re­
sulting dangers.
7.2

General installation guidelines

The forces to be measured must act on the transducer as accurately as possible in the
direction of measurement. Torsional and bending moments, eccentric loading and lateral
forces can produce measurement errors and can destroy the transducer if limit values
are exceeded.
Important
The cable fastening side of the transducer should always be connected directly with the
rigid customer-side force transfer areas. Ensure that the cable is laid so that, where possi­
ble, no force shunt is caused by the cable (e.g. through the weight or stiffness of the ca­
ble).
