IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING

• If something abnormal occurs
• Request repair from the retailer where you purchased the product.
• Do not open the cover.

Precautions when placing loads on the unit

• If the load-receiving area is contacted by something that is at a different temperature and the load is increased,
• The values output by this device could become unstable, making accurate measurement impossible. In such a case, wait until the temperature difference ceases to exist before measuring.
• Make sure the load is perpendicular to the surface to which this unit is attached.
• Place the load so that it is centered on the center of the unit. If the load is not centered (eccentric load), twisting, for example, and measurement errors could occur.
• This could even result in damage careful to avoid turning and twisting from lateral loads. This could cause troubles like those described in the previous item.
• Be careful to avoid applying loads that exceed the rated capacity.
• In particular, use caution when there are vibrations because loads that exceed the rated capacity could occur due to sympathetic vibrations, for example.
• Make sure coaxial and perpendicularity tolerances of 0.02 mm are maintained for the center hole and the top and bottom surfaces of these products. When using them, please consider attachment methods, as well as jigs and other parts, being used so that coaxially and perpendicularity tolerances of 0.02 mm are maintained.
• Never remove the cover from this unit. Doing so could cause malfunction. Request inspection and repair from the retailer where you purchased the product. Do not alter this unit. Doing so could cause malfunction.
• Do not put foreign objects or water, for example, into the unit.
• Do not place a container that holds water, for example, on top of this unit. If the liquid is spilled, for example, and enters the unit, this could cause malfunction.
• Do not use the unit with any power supply voltage other than that specified.
• Do not use the unit with any power supply voltage other than that specified. Doing so could cause malfunction.

CAUTION

• Unsuitable installation locations
• Do not place the unit in the following types of locations.
• Doing so could cause malfunction.
• Locations where it might be exposed to smoke or steam, such as near a kitchen table or humidifier
• Unstable locations, including unsteady stands and tilted places
• Locations that are very humid or dusty
• Locations that are exposed to direct sunlight
• When not using the unit for a long time
• For safety, cut the power supply when not using this unit for a long time.
• Do not operate a damaged unit.

Precautions for use

• This unit is not built to be water or splash-resistant, and it cannot be used in conditions where the relative humidity is high. Moreover, used in atmospheres with corrosive gases should be avoided.
• Be careful to prevent water, oil, and other substances from getting on the unit.
• Avoid use in conditions where condensation could occur.
• Connect cores to the load cell after discharging (eliminating) static electricity from your body.
• Use load cells so that loads are distributed evenly across the entire surfaces of both the top and bottom.

Electrical connection of load cell with built-in TEDS

• Connect as shown in the illustration below. Incorrect connections could result in an inability to balance and in errors occurring in the output voltage when loads are applied.
• Using a cable with bare lead wiresThis unit has a built-in TEDS function.
• The orange and green cores in the cable and the F and G pins in the connector are wired for TEDS.
• This unit does not support remote sensing.
• Since products that support remote sense.
• See the operation manuals of indicators and strain amps that support remote sensing for how to connect sensors with those units.
• The shield is not connected to the main body of this product. For this reason, if grounding is necessary because of external noise or another issue, arrange to ground the shield to a part other than the body of this unit, for example.
• Since the cable is directly connected to this unit, use a specialized cable to increase the length. (Please consult with us.)If the surrounding temperature changes suddenly, the values output by this device could become unstable, making accurate measurement impossible. (This could occur, for example, in a location blown by warm or cold air.)
• If a cable of this unit needs to be bent and shifted, make the curvature of the bent part at least 60 mm. Do not apply tension to the cable.
• Conduct load calibrations periodically.

Installation procedures

• Install this unit in a place where the structure is level and can sufficiently bear the load being used.
• Screw holes for installation are located in four places each on the top and bottom surfaces.
• The top and bottom screw hole dimensions are different according to the load cell-rated capacity. The screw dimensions are shown in the tables below.

When conducting insulation resistance tests, limit them to the red, black, blue, and white cores. Do not apply to the TEDS cores (orange and green).

Using a connector (optional)

• Precautions when using during calibration or as a master load cell
• Please take the following precautions when calibrating one of these products yourself or when using one as a master load cell.
• We recommend attaching plates to the top and bottom sides and using them when applying loads.
• Consider rigid materials and their hardness for the plates used for the top and bottom so that they are able to maintain the flatness and parallelism of the load cell in relation to the load.
• Moreover, by making the load-receiving surface of the top plate curved, the effects of unbalanced loads, for example, can be reduced, enabling accurate measurements.
• Refer to the following illustration as an example of use when considering top and bottom plates

TEDS overview

TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) is a memory chip that can electronically read and write sensor-specific data. The TEDS built into this unit has a serial number, load cell-rated output, and manufacturer name data recorded on it. By connecting an indicator that supports TEDS, the TEDS data of the connected load cell will be automatically read, and equivalent input calibration will be completed. (For details,
read the operation manual of the connected indicator.) Refer to the connection diagrams in “Electrical connection of load cell with built-in TEDS” as well as the operation manual for the indicator being connected to procedures to make connections.

TEAC indicators and signal conditioners that support TEDS include the TD-01 Portable, TD-700T, TD-260T, TD-9000T, and TD-SC1. For details, inquire at the retailer where you purchased the unit. If not using the TEDS function, do not connect the orange and green load cell cores. Moreover, take measures to prevent the orange and green cores from touching other terminals. Data recorded in TEDS are tested values from calibration conducted at room temperature during inspection before shipping from our company.

Load cell output will be affected by the environmental
temperature where used, even when within the compensated temperature range established in the specifications. Although load cell output is calculated from the calibration value saved in TEDS, when the environmental temperature differs greatly from room temperature, the temperature impacts increase on the zero point and the output. For this reason, consideration of the effect on output voltage is necessary. Output voltage changes will be within the specification range as long as the unit is used at temperatures within the specification range.

When using the TEDS function
This product’s cores for TEDS (orange and green) are protected by a plastic cover as shown in the illustration. This is to prevent miswiring and contact with other connectors during use, for example, which could cause shorting. To use the TEDS function, remove the tip of the plastic cover, following the perforations, from the end of the cables. Then, connect the TEDS cores (orange and green) to the indicator. Refer to “Electrical connection of load cell with built-in TEDS” for how to connect each wire
