Conditions on site
S Avoid temperature fluctuations, e.g. from hand warmth, shortly before mea­
surement.
S After each measurement cycle, perform a reset (zeroing) or if possible, use
a high-pass filter.
S Note the temperature limits for the transducer (see the Specifications sec­
tion, page 19).

Moisture

Moisture or a tropical climate are to be avoided. When the connection cable is
properly connected to the charge amplifier, the CLP force washer has degree
of protection IP65 per EN 60529.
The enclosure of the transducer is made entirely of stainless steel. The trans­
ducer must be protected against chemicals that could attack the transducer
body steel or the cable.
With stainless steel force transducers, note that acids and all materials which
release ions will also attack stainless steels and their seam welds. Any result­
ing corrosion could cause the force transducer to fail. In this case, appropriate
protective measures must be implemented.
5.3

Deposits

Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to accumulate suffi­
ciently to divert some of the measuring force, thus invalidating the measured
value (force shunt).
