Mounting

1)
Each load cell should be bridged by a twisted copper cable on assembly, or immediately there­
after, (e.g. EEK... by HBM= approx. 16 mm2). This is how you prevent damage by welding cur­
rents. The grounding of the load cell reduces the hazard of load cell damage by lightning.
RTN
When mounting the load cells the following points are to
be noted:
S Please handle the load cells with care!
S Load cells are precision transducers, the achievable
accuracy therefore depends very much on correct
assembly!
S Use suitable lifting gear for mounting the weighing
device!
S Do not overload the load cell, not even temporarily
(e.g. by unevenly distributed support loads)!
S Use equal height dummies when carrying out align­
ment work that may damage the load cell!
S Ensure point load application in the load cell's direc­
tion of measurement. Use spherical thrust pieces with
sufficient radius (HBM accessory).
S Avoid transverse forces and moments (see also the
chapter "Technical Data")!
S Depending on the actual design provide for lift-off
protection devices and limit stops!
S Bring the force introduction points of the load cells to
the same level. For this purpose, the mounting acces­
sories include shims!
S Protect the load cell against
- one-sided heat radiation
- influences caused by subsequent welding work
