Z6...
Series Z6... load cells are hermetically encapsulated and
are therefore not at all sensitive to the influence of mois­
ture and humidity. The transducers achieve protection
class IP68 (test conditions: 100 hours under 1 m water
column) as per DIN EN60529. Nevertheless, the load
cells must be protected against constant humidity and
moisture.
Protection against corrosion
The load cell must be protected against chemicals that
could attack the transducer body steel, or the cable.
Notice
Acids and all substances that release ions also attack
stainless steels and their welded seams.
Should there be any corrosion, this could cause the
transducer to fail. If this is the case, you must provide
appropriate means of protection.
Explosion protection version option
The ambient temperature range specified on the trans­
ducer must not be exceeded.
Deposits
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to
accumulate sufficiently to divert some of the measuring
force onto the housing, thus invalidating the measured
value (force shunt).
