Important precautions during
installation
S Handle the transducer with care.
S Comply with the requirements for the force application
parts, as specified in sections 6.3 and 6.4.
S Welding currents must not be allowed to flow over the
transducer. If there is a risk that this might happen,
you must provide a suitable low-ohm connection to
electrically bypass the transducer. HBM offers the
highly flexible EEK ground cable in various lengths for
this purpose, which can be screwed on above and
below the transducer.
S Make sure that the transducer is not overloaded.
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, as
well as for people in the vicinity.
Implement appropriate safeguards to avoid a force over
shoot (also see Chapter 12 "Specifications", page 29), or
to protect against any dangers that may result.
