4.1 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, for example,
provides the highly flexible EEK ground cable, which
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 over­
loaded. This can cause danger for the operating person­
nel of the system in which the transducer is installed.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid over­
loads or to protect against the resulting dangers.
Notice
Load cells are precision measuring elements and need to
be handled carefully. Dropping or knocking the trans­
ducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure that the
transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is
being mounted.
