5.1 Precautions before commissioning
■
Tension/compression force transducers are sensitive measuring instruments and
must be handled with appropriate care.
5.2 Mounting instructions
CAUTION!
Damage to the instrument through improper installation
■
With the installation of the tension/compression force transducer, the
installation position and the load direction must be considered.
■
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 torques, eccentric loads and transverse loads or lateral forces
cause measuring errors and may permanently damage the tension/
compression force transducer.
■
The installation of the tension/compression force transducer must not
be made with any violent force.
■
During installation of the tension/compression force transducer, the
output signal (force value) must always be monitored to avoid mechani-
cal overload.
■
When subjected to loads in other devices, other than those planned
in the application, a change in the zero signal may result in permanent
damage.
■
Do not use the tension/compression force transducer as a climbing aid.
■
If high shear forces or lateral forces are to be expected, the use of
swivel heads is recommended.
