3.5
Operation during regular mode
Optimal measuring values are achieved when the sensor is used while maintaining the specific nominal
torque. If the permissible operating conditions are observed, the sensor operates trouble-free and
maintenance-free.
3.6
Irregular operation, actions in case of failures
If the sensor is mechanically overloaded (e.g. if the maximum permissible longitudinal force or torque limit
is exceeded or if there are strong vibrations), the sensor may be damaged and the signal output may be
distorted. In this case do not open the device. Contact NCTE AG directly.
3.7
Safety instructions
The following safety instructions should be followed for smooth operation:
•
Opening the sensor or even single screws is not allowed.
•
The shaft retaining rings on the shaft ends must not be loosened.
•
The fastening nut of the plug must not be loosened or tightened.
•
Only use power supplies safely disconnected from the mains voltage.
•
Regarding the electrical and mechanical load of the sensor, the specifications according to the
sensor-specific nameplate a
nd the table in Chapter “
” must be
observed.
•
The sensor is not to be used as support bearing. The existing fastening options serve exclusively to
secure the housing against twisting.
•
To protect your system, we recommend increasing the torque over several stages.
3.8
Shaft preservation
The shafts are protected on both sides with a film of anti-corrosion wax. We recommend to leave the
protection permanently. If technically necessary, remove the protective film with spirit/ethanol.
3.9
Service, maintenance and repair
As part of your test and measurement equipment management, we recommend regular inspection of your
test and measurement equipment. Please also observe the relevant standards and guidelines.
