hANDlING ThE SlC SENSOR
The SLC Sensor is a precision instrument.
HANDLE WITH CARE and follow these precautions:
PRECAUTIONS
n Do not connect the sensor when the pow-
er to the DFs II-R-ND is oN. Make sure
that power to the DFS II-R-ND is OFF before
connecting your sensor.
n Do not disconnect the sensor by pulling
on the cable. Grasp the connector and pull
the sensor from the DFS II-R-ND gauge.
n Do not carry the sensor using the cable.
This may damage the internal wiring of the
sensor.
n Make sure to use the proper end of the
“s” type sensors. One end is dedicated to
“tension”. One end is dedicated to “compres-
sion”.
n Use the proper capacity for your testing.
Ideally, make sure that the expected mea-
sured load falls within the 20% to 80% range
of the sensor capacity.
n Never connect an incompatible sensor.
Use only SLC Series or STS Series sensors.
n store your sensor properly. When not in
use, store your SLC sensor in its original
carrying case.
NEVER disconnect the sensor by pulling on the cable.
This may damage connections. Disconnect by grasping
the connector and pulling from the connector housing.
For a tensile test, fix the tensile adapter at the end
opposite the “Dead Side”. Connect the “Dead Side” to
the tester.
For a compression test, fix the compression adapter at the
end opposite the “Dead Side”. Connect the “Dead Side”
to the tester.
