IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
If something abnormal occurs Request repair from the retailer where you
purchased the product. Do not open the cover. Never remove the cover from this
unit. Doing so could
Precautions when placing loads on the unit
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
- Be 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.
- If the load-receiving area (spherical surface) 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.
- 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.
- If the surrounding temperature changes suddenly
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 errors occurring in the output voltage when loads are applied.
Using a cable with bare lead wires
- This unit has a built-in TEDS function.
- The orange and green cores in the cable and the F and pins in the connector are wired for TEDS.
- This unit does not support remote sensing.
- 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, for example, arrange to ground the shield to a part other than the body of this unit.
- Since the cable is directly connected to this unit, use a specialized cable to increase the length. (Please consult with us.)
- 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 50 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.
- Remove any oil from the mounting surface and attach it with double-sided tape or adhesive, for example.
- Attachment using housing is also possible. Attachment example
- 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)
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.
Attachment example
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.
Using a connector (optional)

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 core.
When not using the TEDS function
If not using the TEDS function, remove the entire protective plastic cover and
cut off the TEDS cores (orange and green) around where the plastic cover was
attached to the cable. If you use it without removing these cores, do not
remove the protective plastic or make other arrangements to prevent the cores
from touching other places. Refer to “Electrical connection of load cell with
built-in TEDS” for how to connect each core.
