TOPTRANS These transducers are only to be installed by qualified personnel strictly in accordance with the specifications and with the safety rules and regulations which follow. It is also essential to observe the appropriate legal and safety regulations for the application concerned. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Scope of supply • Force transducer TOP–Z30, TOP–Z4A • Operating Manual TOP Transfer The TOP Transfer force transducers are only available in conjunction with a DKD calibration certificate (not included in the scope of supply) • DKD calibration certificate according to EN10002–3, ISO 376 Order no.

Be sure to allow for them when planning, installing and operating the measurement configuration . To obtain optimum measurement results, the transducer must be connected to an amplifier of the greatest accuracy (for example, the DMP40 from HBM). B 20.TOPTRANS.10 en...
TOPTRANS Structure and mode of operation 3.1 TOP–Z30 Fig.3.1 TOP–Z30 (100 N...10 kN) The measuring body comprises a system of measuring springs with strain gauges. Two internal threads attached on both sides are used to introduce the tensile forces. To introduce compressive forces, load buttons to screw into the thread are available as accessories.
The uncoated force introduction areas of the TOP–Z4A are greased to protect them against corrosion. 4.5 Loading disturbance variables Torsion, bending and transverse load are disturbance variables and are therefore to be avoided. If necessary they can be remedied with HBM mounting accessories (section 5.3 ). B 20.TOPTRANS.10 en...

TOPTRANS 5.2 Mounting accessories for compressive loading Thrust pieces according to EN10002–3 or ISO376 are available for introducing the compressive forces. For the TOP–Z30, thrust pieces EDO3/1kN or EDO4/50kN (see Page 26) and two load buttons (see page 25) are available. With the TOP–Z4A, the thrust piece (see page 32) can be placed directly on the crowned threaded pin.
TOPTRANS 5.3 Mounting accessories for tensile loading Knuckle eyes and tensile force introductions (ZKM) according to ISO376 are available for installing the TOP–Z30 and the TOP–Z4A. These mounting accessories prevent the introduction of torsional moments and when 2 knuckle eyes are used, stop bending moments and transverse and angular loading being introduced in the transducers.

TOPTRANS Electrical connection 6.1 Instructions for cabling • Always use shielded, low-capacity measurement cable (HBM cables meet these requirements). • Do not lay measurement cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or control circuits. If this is not possible (e.g. in cable ducts) protect the measurement cable, e.g.
Page 19
If a different connection technique is used then good EMC shielding is to be provided in the wiring loom, the shielding again being laid over the full area (see also HBM Greenline Information, document G36.35.0). If the transducer is connected according to the following connection diagram then when the transducer has compressive loading the output voltage at the measuring amplifier is positive.
