Mechanical installation

5.1 Mounting instructions

When mounting the load cells, consider the following factors:
 The load cell must be handled carefully
 The load cell must not be overloaded, not even briefly
 Each load cell must be bridged with a copper wire either during or directly
after installation to prevent welding currents flowing over the load cell
Important
The cable fastening side of the transducer should always be connected
directly with the rigid customer‐side force transfer areas. Ensure that the cable
is laid so that, where possible, no force shunt is caused by the cable (e.g.
through the weight or stiffness of the cable).

NOTE
Please note the maximum permissible load-carrying capacity of the loading
fittings and of the tension/compression bars, screws and knuckle eyes.
