PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
1. Precautions on installation
The load cell is high in sensitivity and responsiveness. Much consideration should be paid to the supporting
structure design and installation procedure.
When installing the weigh module, observe the following precautions.
The LCM17-M series weigh modules are flameproof enclosure type electrical devices that conform to
“ExdIIBT4”. Install them in accordance with guidelines on explosion protection of electrical installations and
related regulations, to avoid explosion. Only personnel who have an adequate knowledge of the installation
of explosion protected electrical devices are allowed to install them.
Design the structure, for installation of the weigh module, strong enough to support the load.
Make the platform, foundation structure of the weigh module, strong enough to support the module
and load.
Protect the weigh module from direct sunlight, rain and splash, when installed in the open air.
If the weigh module is to be installed in an area where it is subject to radiated heat or heated air and
may become extremely hot, take measures against the heat.
Install the weigh module horizontally.
Leave some slack in the load cell cable so that it will not be damaged by stretching. Use conduit to
protect the load cell cable from damage. Separate the load cell cable from power lines.
Avoid shock or overload to the load cell..
When welding is to be performed with the load cell installed, disconnect the load cell cable and ground
the earth line near the welding area. Make certain that no welding current will pass through the load
cell.
2. Daily inspection
Check the following items as necessary.
Is there an appropriate clearance around the stopper bolt? Is there any foreign substance such as mud at
the clearance?
Is there any foreign substance on the load cell or the mount fixtures? Use compressed air for cleaning.
Are the bolts secured firmly?
Is there adequate slack in the load cell cable?
Is there a cable connection problem?
Is there any leakage current?
