Mounting And Load Application - HBM PW15iA Mounting Instructions

PW15iA
Notice
The transducers are precision measuring elements, and
need to be handled carefully. Dropping or knocking the
transducer may cause permanent damage. Make sure
that the transducer cannot be overloaded, including while
it is being mounted.

Mounting and load application

Before installing several digital load cells into an installa­
tion with a bus system, take the following into account:
S The printed production number (type plate) is required
for setting up data communication. If the type plate
can no longer be seen after installation, the numbers
of each transducer should be noted beforehand. This
enables different addresses to be assigned during
initial operation.
S Alternatively, before connection to the bus system,
you can connect each transducer individually with a
PC, in order to set different addresses (see ADR
command in online help).
Mount the transducer on a clean surface with a flatness
better than 0.1 mm. You can integrate overload protec­
tion with an M6x0.5 fine-thread screw.
To minimize off-center load errors and torques, load
should be applied in the center of the platform.
