NSTALLATION
4.1 R ECEIVING AND U NPACKING
After receiving the Transducer you should:
 Carefully, unpack and inspect the equipment;
 Compare the received shipment with the packing list
 Make sure that you have the correct transducer model, hub diameter and mounting kit
 Report any damage to the carrier and your CMC representative
 Store equipment that will not be used in a clean, dry location
 Take appropriate precautions to prevent moisture, dust and dirt from accumulating in storage and
installation areas
4.2 B EFORE INSTALLING THE T RANSDUCER ,
Before installing the Transducer, perform the following steps:
1. Review the Safety Considerations (Section 4.2.1).
2. Review the Mounting Configurations (Section 4.2.2.
3. Assemble the Mounting Hardware and review the Fastener and Torque information (Section 4.2.3).
4. Reference the Mounting Dimensions (Section 4.2.4).
 Failure to follow precautions can result in serious damage to the Ultra ISC
Series Transducer and possibly void the warranty!
4.2.1S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS
Don’t let safety be an afterthought. Before beginning calibration of transducers, review and follow
applicable policies and procedures to ensure worker safety. Machinery must be in a safe state, and you
should be aware of additional hazards that can arise when calibrating higher force transducers. The
following points are important to remember:
 When dead weights are used to produce a force, always wear steel-toed shoes.
 When manually handling weights, use safe lifting practices to avoid injury.
 Size any cordage or straps with an ample safety factor to reduce the chances of failure and falling
weights.
 Consider where the cords and weights will travel should a failure occur.
 Check that all hardware is mounted with the appropriate fasteners (thread size and pitch, fastener
grade, length of thread engagement).
To ensure proper installation and operation of the system, keep the following points in mind:
 Exercise care to avoid overstressing the transducer when handling partially mounted rolls.
Even relatively short rolls can afford an impressive mechanical advantage over the
transducer.
 Bolting the transducer to a non-flat surface can cause deformation of the transducer body
and degrade the quality of the tension signal.
 Failure to follow precautions can result in serious damage to the Ultra
ISC Series Transducer and possibly void the warranty!
