Important Safety Instructions

WARNING:

• If something abnormal occurs, request repair from the retailer where you purchased the product. Do not open the cover or remove itas it may cause malfunction. Request inspection and repair from theretailer where you purchased the product.
• Do not put foreign objects or water into the unit. Avoid placing containers that hold water on top of this unit, as liquidentering the unit can cause malfunction.
• Use the unit only with the specified power supply voltage to avoid malfunction.

CAUTION:

• Avoid installing the unit in locations exposed to smoke, steam,unstable conditions, high humidity, dust, or direct sunlight, as it may cause malfunction.
• When not using the unit for a long time, cut off the power supply for safety.
• Do not operate a damaged unit.

Precautions for Use

• The unit is not water or splash resistant and should not be used in high relative humidity or atmospheres with corrosive gases.
• Avoid getting water, oil, or other substances on the unit.
• Avoid use in conditions where condensation could occur.
• Discharge static electricity from your body before connecting the load cell to the cores.
• Sudden changes in surrounding temperature may cause unstable output values, making accurate measurement impossible.
• If a cable needs to be bent and shifted, make sure thecurvature of the bent part is at least 50 mm and avoid applying tension to the cable.
• Perform load calibrations periodically.

Installation Procedures

• Install the unit on a level structure that can bear the load being used.
• Remove any oil from the mounting surface and attach the unit using double-sided tape, adhesive, or a housing.

Precautions when Placing Loads on the Unit

Ensure that the load is perpendicular to the surface to which the unit is attached.

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 couldcause 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 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

Precautions when placing loads on the unit

• Make sure the load is perpendicular to the surface to which this unit is attached.
• Apply the load so that it is centered on the center ofthe 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.

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 when the relative humidity is high. Moreover, use 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, 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, makethe curvature of the bent part at least 50 mm. Do not apply tension to the cable.
• Conduct load calibrations periodically.

Electrical connection of load cell

• Connect as shown in the illustration below. Incorrect connections could result in inability to balance and in errors occurring in the output voltage when loads are applied.

Using a cable with bare lead wires

• This unit does not support remote sense. See the operation manuals of indicators and strain amps that support remote sense 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.)
