RANSDUCER
Before installing the Transducer, perform the following steps:
1. Review the Installation Precautions (Section 2.2.1 on page 9).
2. Review the Safety Considerations (Section 2.2.2 on page 9)
3. Review the Mounting Configurations (Section 2.2.3 on page 10)
4. Assemble the Mounting Hardware and review the Fastener and Torque information (Section 2.2.4 on page 11).
5. Reference the Mounting Dimensions (Section 2.2.5 on page 12).

RECAUTIONS
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 Series Transducer and possibly
void the warranty!

ONSIDERATIONS
Safety practices should not be an afterthought. Before installing, servicing or calibrating review and follow
applicable policies and procedures to ensure worker safety. Machinery must be in a safe state and be aware of
any additional hazards that can arise when installing and calibrating higher force transducers.
The following points are also important to remember:
•
Check that all hardware is mounted with appropriate fasteners (thread size and pitch, fastener grade,
length of thread engagement).
•
When “dead-weights” are used to produce calibration forces, always wear steel-toed shoes.
•
When manually handling calibration weights and rolls, use safe lifting practices to avoid injury.
•
Size cordage or straps with ample safety factors to reduce the chances of failure and falling weights.
•
Consider where the cords and weights will travel to should a failure occur.
