CAUTION
Equipment should be inspected for damages after packing is removed to insure operating safety.
If there is ever any evidence of damages found to equipment at any time regarding covers being cracked or
dented, wiring cut or damaged, or mounting frames bent or broken, equipment safety may have been com-
promised. Do not use damaged equipment and contact local equipment distributor immediately.
CAUTION
Follow these rules if welding is done on the vessel after installation of the system.
The electrical current of the welder may pass through the cell, causing damage to the
sensor and possibly to the signal processor. To avoid damage, follow these precautions:
1. Disconnect the cell cables from the signal processor.
2. Ground the welder as close to the welding joint as possible. The welding ground must be
between the cell and the weld joint to prevent the welding current from going through the
cell to earth ground.
Note
High temperatures can damage the sensors. If you are welding in the vicinity of a sensor, moni-
tor the temperature of the metal adjacent to the sensor. If it becomes too hot to touch, stop welding
immediately and remove the sensor before continuing. Prior to reinstalling the sensor, verify that
no damage has occurred by checking the resistance. See Testing Sensors with Digital Multimeter
(DMM) in Chapter 2, Prepare to Install Bolt On Sensors, for the resistance-checking procedure.
