Mounting a load cell with hygienic design
NOTICE
Observe the following points when mounting the load cell:
• Make sure that overloading of the load cell capacity is prevented at all times. If possible,
• Install the load cell in according with the instructions in the EHEDG documents 8 and 13.
• Mount the load cell in a self-draining orientation. Select the angle in such a way that liquids
