WARNING
There is a danger of the transducer breaking if it is over
loaded. This can cause danger for the operating person
nel of the system in which the transducer is installed.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid over
loads or to protect against the resulting dangers.
Notice
Load cells are precision measuring elements and need to
be handled carefully. Dropping or knocking the trans
ducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure that the
transducer cannot be overloaded, including while it is be
ing mounted.

Preparation for installation
If you are using the thrust pieces EPO3, C16/EPU or
C16/ZOU44A, you must carry out the preparations de
scribed below.
Each load cell is packed with a dowel pin which, in com
bination with the rotation stop welded onto the load cell,
prevents any possible micro-rotation of the transducer
and therefore possible cable damage.
Only one thrust piece must be fitted with this pin per load
cell. Mount the thrust piece below the load cell as the
dowel pin can then engage in the rotation stop recess
that is present (see Dimensions in Chapter 11, Page 33).
The hole on the top thrust piece remains empty.
