6.1 Important precautions during
mounting
S Handle the KMR with care.
S The KMR must lean plainly on the clean supporting
surface and may not bend.
S Always use the supplied washers for force
introduction (do in no case bring spring washers, tooth
lock washers etc. into direct contact with the KMR).
6.2

General guide lines for installation

To determine the absolute value of the force to be
monitored, you have to calibrate the KMR with a test
transducer while it is in its final mounting position.
Depending on the mounting position, there are significant
changes in output signal. The following factors are
effective:
S Friction
S Stiffness of the components
S Surface unevenness
S Asymmetric force introduction
After calibration, the mounting position may not be
changed.
