Protect the transducer from weather conditions such as
rain, snow, ice and salt water.
5.1

Ambient temperature

The temperature effects on the zero signal and on the
sensitivity are compensated.
To obtain optimum measurement results, the nominal
(rated) temperature range must be observed. Constant,
or very slowly changing temperatures are optimal. Tem­
perature‐related measurement errors are caused by
heating on one side (e.g. radiant heat) or by cooling. A
radiation shield and all‐round thermal insulation produce
noticeable improvements, but must not be allowed to set
up a force shunt.
5.2

Moisture and humidity

Series S2M force transducers are protected against
moisture. The transducers attain protection class IP67
per DIN EN 60259. Despite this, force transducers must
be protected against permanent exposure to moisture.
The transducer must be protected against chemicals that
could attack the aluminum, potting material or the cable.
The transducer can also malfunction due to corrosion.
Implement some means of protection if this danger
exists.
