5.1 Precautions before commissioning
■
Hydraulic compression force transducers are sensitive measuring instruments and
must be handled with appropriate care.
■
With the commissioning of hydraulic compression force transducers, make sure they
are on a level mounting surface.
■
The sealed threaded connections of the hydraulic force transducer must not be
loosened! Non-compliant handling invalidates the warranty and a measuring function
is no longer assured.
5.2 To be observed during installation
CAUTION!
Damage to the instrument through improper installation
■
When installing the hydraulic force measuring unit, pay attention to the
installation position and thus to the direction of loading.
■
If the display instrument (pressure gauge, digital pressure gauge) or
output instrument (pressure sensor) rests on the contact surface during
installation, an adapter plate must be mounted under the hydraulic
compression force transducer (accessories, see chapter 10).
■
Torsional and transverse forces must be avoided. Transverse loads
and lateral forces also include the corresponding components of the
measurands that are introduced slanted.
■
Torsional moments, eccentric loads and transverse loads or lateral
forces cause measuring errors and may permanently damage the
hydraulic compression force transducer.
■
The hydraulic compression force transducer should only be loaded in
the intended position.
■
The hydraulic compression force transducer shall be mounted so that
at least one support surface is designed as a moveable bearing.
■
During installation of the hydraulic compression force transducer, the
output signal or the display instrument (force value) must always be
monitored to avoid mechanical overload.
■
When subjected to loads in other devices, a change in the zero signal
may result in permanent damage (leakage with jamming of the piston).
■
An overload must be excluded at all times.
■
Do not use the hydraulic compression force transducer as a climbing
aid.
