Installation
Tension link load cells are normally classified as portable devices, and so the correct installation is critical to
ensuring product life cycle. To avoid damage or loss of accuracy during installation, the following points should
be followed.
•
The direction of the load applied to a link should be linear as shown in Figure 2.
•
Ensure the tension link load cell does not experience torque or bending forces during operation.
•
The tension link load cell should only be loaded in tension using the ØC holes as shown in Figure 2. See
figure 3 for two common examples of installations.
•
For optimal performance a tight tolerance with the ØC loading holes is recommended.
•
If the tension link is fitted with a telemetry unit then ensure that a clear line-of–sight between the
transmitter and receiver is maintained and that objects or structures are kept at least one meter away
from antennae wherever possible. The installer should also first read the WTS Telemetry User Manual
which can be found at the following web address:
