Use the following step 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 2.2.2). 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 amplifier, 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.
