NOTICE
Damage to load cells through incorrect mounting
• Provide indented claws or crane eyebolts on the load bearer to ensure that hoisting gear
• Load cells must never be overloaded. Put the load carrier down slowly for this reason.
• Adjust the existing overload protection to ensure that it can still reliably sense transfer of
• Protect the gap between the load cell and overload protection from the build up of dirt or
• The load must be introduced in the measuring direction of the load cell. Torsional and
NOTICE
Destruction of load cells
Proceed carefully with installation. The load cells can be destroyed if they are installed
incorrectly.

Procedure for mounting the device
1. Observe the installation guidelines for the mounting components.
– You can find dimension drawings of installation elements under Dimension drawings
– Lay the cables for the load cells through cable glands in the form of a vertical
2. Check that the load cells and mounting components are installed correctly, e.g. by
checking the mounting dimensions and oscillation distances.

With load cells of smaller rated loads in particular, there is a risk of stretching the load

the setpoint weight is reached.

bending moments, eccentric loads and lateral forces are disturbances. These
disturbances falsify the measured result and can damage the load cell if the permissible
limits of the load cell and mounting components are exceeded.
The mounting components normally allow so much room for movement that heat
expansion will not result in lateral loading.
