Installation Notes

• Install the PE-1 on a flat and rigid mounting surface.
• Use correct M3 fixing screws for the load cell body.
• Do not exceed the maximum permissible load.
• Avoid shock loading, side loading and cable damage.
• For platform weighing, keep the load centered on the platform.
• For tension use, align the tension force with the load cell centerline.
• Use an overload stop when required by the mechanical design.
• Perform calibration after installation.
