Installation and Wiring
4.1
Area of Machine Rotation
Following RTM MP components are installed either on the rotating part of the machine
or in the area of machine rotation:
●
Transmitter EMGZ482T.MP.PLUS.W.24VDC
●
RMGZ Force Measuring Rollers
4.2
Static installation of force sensor

The red point should always be aligned in the direction of the resulting Force (see Fig.
2). For further mounting information please consult the respective installation manual
of the sensor. The installation manual is always delivered together with the sensor.
4.3
Installation of Force Sensors on a Rotating Machine Part
Note
In rotating applications the force measuring sensors are mounted such that
centrifugal forces are compensated. If using FMS RMGZ sensors, this can be achieved
by turning the Red Point parallel to the rotation axis and in direction of the positive
force component (refer to Fig. 3).
Note
The adjustment of the red point can be tested after offset compensation and
calibration. If the reading of an unloaded load cell stays at zero regardless of the load
cell position (e.g. at 12 o’clock or at 6 o’clock position), the red point is correctly
aligned.
