2.2 Unpacking
Check all packaging for transport damage. Report any such
damage to the transporters and to the authorized Kistler
distributor.
Please also check the included accessories (Section 8.2).
Please report any missing parts to the responsible Kistler
distributor.
2.3 Notes on Handling the Sensor

The force link must only be used under the specified
environmental and operating conditions.

With piezoelectric sensors, insulation resistance is of
crucial importance; it must be approx. 10
14

(but not
less than 10
13

).

In order to preserve this value, all plug-and-socket con-
nections must be kept absolutely clean and dry. The in-
sulation resistance can be measured with the insulation
tester Type 5493.

Protect the sensor when it is not in use by storing it in
its original packaging.

Ensure the temperature of the SlimLine sensor remains
as constant as possible during long-term measurements.
