Installation Instructions

1. Pre-Installation Check

   • Ensure the mounting surface is flat, clean, and strong enough to support the transducer.

   • Verify electrical integrity of grounding and shielding components.

2. Mechanical Mounting

   • Use M12 or equivalent-grade bolts for secure flange mounting.

   • Do not apply force to the sensor body during installation.

3. Electrical Connection

   • Connect the shielded cable to the control unit or data acquisition module.

   • Maintain correct polarity and ensure signal line isolation.

4. Calibration (If Required)

   • The sensor comes pre-calibrated. However, system-level calibration may be needed using known reference loads.

5. Testing

   • Run diagnostics to verify signal response and system integration.

6. Maintenance

   • No routine maintenance required. Inspect connections and housing condition annually.
