4 Using the instrument for the first time
CAUTION
Never switch on the model 8524 tension and compression load cell if it shows signs
of damage incurred in transit. Only ever use the model 8524 tension and
compression load cell under the conditions specified in this operating manual.
NOTICE
Only connect the model 8524 tension and compression load cell to instrumentation
amplifiers that are fitted with a safety transformer to EN 61558.
Note: Transmitters connected to the outputs or other devices that are galvanically connected to the
signal lines of the model 8524 tension and compression load cell must also be fitted with safety
transformers to EN 61558.
4.1 Grounding and equipotential bonding
All connecting wires (including the cable screening braid) are electrically insulated from the sensor body.
The insulation resistance between the connecting wires and the sensor body is measured. The test
certificate states that the minimum resistance is greater than 30 MΩ (test voltage 45 V).
