electrical installation
CAUTION – Possible damage to load cell.
Do not hammer on the load cell.
CAUTION – Possible damage to load cell.
Do not disassemble the load cell – there are no
serviceable parts inside the unit.
WARNING – Danger of injury from crushing.
Maintenance and repair tasks on the load cell device
must be performed only when the machine has been
stopped and has been secured from being turned on
again.
1.
Select a mounting location where the wrap angle of
the web does not change.
2.
GTS load cells are designed to be mounted under
standard, self-aligning pillow block bearings,
which support an idler roll shaft. Two GTS load
cells should be used to measure tension on one
idler roll. Mount the load cells on opposite sides of
the machine, on a clean and flat surface of the
machine frame. The load cells can be mounted in
any orientation.
3.
Observe the wrap angle of the web, and insure that
the resultant force due to web tension is in the
“YES” zone as indicated on the label. If not, turn the
load cell around and recheck the direction of the
resultant force.
NOTE: If the resultant force is “upward” (away from
the load cell), reverse the black (-s) and white (+s)
signal leads at the readout or control terminal
block.
