5.1 Mounting preparation
■
Before mounting the hydraulic ring force transducer, the anchor hole must be drilled,
the anchor positioned, concreted and allowed to harden. For this, a level installation
face must be ensured for the hydraulic ring force transducer.
5.2 Mounting instructions
CAUTION!
Damage to the instrument through improper installation
■
The sealed threaded connections of the hydraulic force transducer
must not be loosened.
■
When installing the hydraulic force transducer, pay attention to the
installation position and thus to the direction of loading. The hydraulic
force transducer must be mounted orthogonally to the anchor.
■
The hydraulic ring force transducer should only be loaded in the
intended position.
■
In the event that, on mounting, the pressure measuring instrument
(pressure gauge, digital pressure gauge or pressure sensor) lies
against the installation face, an anchor plate must be mounted under
the hydraulic ring force transducer.
■
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 ring force transducer.
■
During installation of the hydraulic ring 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
measuring piston).
■
An overload must be excluded at all times.
■
Do not use the hydraulic ring force transducer as a climbing aid.
