Use the following steps when positioning the transducers for mounting:

1. Before bolting the transducer in place, be sure that it is generally aligned with the tension force (load

direction). The transducer is properly aligned when the load direction (bisector of the wrap angle) is
pointing along a line connecting the “+” and “-“signs located on the sides of the load cell

2

Insert and finger-tighten the bolts.

3

Rotate the slim cell outer ring so that the load direction is precisely aligned with the “+/-“ axis. the outer

ring can be rotated 60 degrees in either direction to achieve the proper alignment position.

4

Tighten the mounting bolts to the recommended torque (refer to section 4.2.2 ). It is a good practice to

tighten each bolt incrementally, and in succession.

5

Note the alignment of the force. If the force points to the “+” sign, the output signal of the transducer is
positive. If the force points to the “-“ sign, the output is negative. This information is important to know
when wiring the transducer to the indicator or controller terminals. Interchanging the black wire and
white wire at the amplifier terminals (connections) may be required to provide the proper signal polarity
for the device.
