Conditions on site
Series FIT5A load cells are hermetically encapsulated and are therefore not at
all sensitive to the influence of moisture and humidity. The transducers achieve
protection class IP68 and IP69K in accordance with DIN EN60529. The load
cells should nevertheless be protected against the lasting influence of moisture
and humidity.
3.1
Protection against corrosion
The load cell must be protected against chemicals that could attack the trans
ducer body steel, or the cable.
Notice
Acids and all substances that release ions also attack stainless steels and their
welded seams.
The resultant corrosion can cause the transducer to fail. If this is the case, you
must provide appropriate means of protection.
3.2
Deposits
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to accumulate suffi
ciently to divert some of the measuring force onto the housing, thus invalidating
the measured value (force shunt).
