CAUTION
Follow these rules if welding is done on the vessel after installation of the Load Disc. The electrical current
of the welder may pass through the Load Disc, causing damage to the transducer and possibly to the signal
processor. To avoid damage, follow these precautions:
1. Disconnect the Load Disc cables from the signal processor.
2. Ground the welder as close to the welding joint as possible. The welding ground must be between the
Load Disc and the weld joint to prevent the welding current from going through the Load Disc to earth
Note
High temperatures can damage the Load Disc. If you are welding in the vicinity of a Load Disc,
monitor the temperature of the metal adjacent to the Load Disc. If it becomes too hot to touch, stop
welding immediately and remove the Load Disc before continuing. Prior to reinstalling the Load
Disc, verify that no damage has occurred by referring to the measurement procedures in Trouble-
shooting, Appendix C.
