5.1 Important precautions during
installation
S Handle the transducer with care.
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 provides the
highly flexible EEK ground cable for this purpose, for
example. It can be screwed on above and below the
transducer.
S Make sure that the transducer cannot be 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.
Implement appropriate safety measures to avoid over­
loads or to protect against the resulting dangers.
Notice
The length of the fastening screws must not exceed the
maximum thread reach of 10 mm, as otherwise the trans­
ducer could be damaged.
