1.5.

 

Exterior mechanical influences 

In order to avoid measurement errors, the load to be 

weighed must not be subject to parasitic contributions: if 

there are any connecting pipes, cables and balls or draw-

bolts, they must be installed with THE GREATEST 

FLEXIBILITY. Also, ladders or bridges for access will be 

suitably articulated (clamping). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.6.

 

Setting of the counter force 

This setting has to be done whilst the sensor is UNLOADED. 

By hand, bring the nut 1 mm away from the structure, then screw B 

to A.  

Finally, using a key, block A onto B so as not to exert any effort on 

the sensor.

CABLING 

 

2.1.

 

Cable 

The cells are delivered with a 4-wire screened cable. 

The screen (shielded cable) cannot  in any case be in contact with the 

ground, e.g.; in metallic junction boxes, it is necessary to isolate the screen 

with a sheath (thermal). 

The screen can only be connected to standardized earth. 

It is advised to install a thermo-retractable sheath (retracted 4x) at the end of 

the cable inside a waterproof paste, in order to avoid any leak. If there is any 

possible danger of damage along its wiring, it  is  necessary  to use an 

additional cable protection, passing the cable through a pipe  (steel, 

preferably).
