Do not open the cover.
Never remove the cover from this unit. Doing so could
cause malfunction. Request inspection and repair from theretailer where you purchased the product. Do not alter thisunit. 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, ontop 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 otherthan that specified. Doing so could cause malfunction.

Unsuitable installation locations
Do not place the unit in the following types of locations.
Doing so could cause malfunction.
oo Locations where it might be exposed to smoke or steam,such as near a kitchen table or humidifier
oo Unstable locations, including unsteady stands andtilted places
oo Locations that are very humid or dusty
oo 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.

oo Make sure the load is perpendicular to the surface towhich this unit is attached.
oo 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.

oo If the surrounding temperature changes suddenly, thevalues 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.)oo If a cable of this unit needs to be bent and shifted, makethe curvature of the bent part at least 60 mm. Do not
apply tension to the cable.
oo Conduct load calibrations periodically.

Installation proceduresoo Install this unit in a place where the structure is level
and can sufficiently bear the load being used.
oo Screw holes for attachment are located in four places.
oo If direct attachment using a bolt through the bottom
is not possible, use the base plate (as shown in theillustration below).

oo 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 withcorrosive gases should be avoided.
oo Be careful to prevent water, oil and other substancesfrom getting on the unit.
oo Avoid use in conditions where condensation could occur.

oo If the load receiving area (spherical surface) is contacted
by something that is at a different temperature andthe 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.

Electrical connection of load cell withbuilt-in TEDS

Precautions when placing loads on the unit

oo Connect cores to the load cell after discharging (eliminating) static electricity from your body.

oo 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.

oo The dimensions of the base plate and the screws areshown in the table below.

oo The shield is not connected to the main body of thisproduct. For this reason, if grounding is necessary
because of external noise or another issue, arrange toground the shield to a part other than the body of thisunit, for example.
oo Since the cable is directly connected to this unit, use
a specialized cable to increase the length. (Pleaseconsult with us.)oo When conducting insulation resistance tests, limit themto the red, black, blue and white cores. Do not apply tothe TEDS cores (orange and green).

oo Be careful to avoid turning and twisting from lateralloads. This could cause troubles like those describedin the previous item.
oo Be careful to avoid applying loads that exceed therated capacity. In particular, use caution when there arevibrations because loads that exceed the rated capacity
could occur due to sympathetic vibrations, for example.

oo This unit has a built-in TEDS function.
The orange and green cores in the cable and the F andG pins in the connector are wired for TEDS.
oo This unit does not support remote sense.
oo See the operation manuals of indicators and strain
amps that support remote sense for how to connect
sensors with those units.

TEDS overview
TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) is a memory chipthat can electronically read and write sensor-specific data.
The TEDS built into this unit has serial number, load cell rated
output and manufacturer name data recorded on it. By
connecting an indicator that supports TEDS, the TEDS dataof the connected load cell will be automatically read andequivalent input calibration will be completed. (For details,read the operation manual of the connected indicator.)
Refer to the connection diagrams in “Electrical connectionof load cell with built-in TEDS” as well as the operation
manual for the indicator being connected for procedures
to make connections.
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 youpurchased the unit.
If not using the TEDS function, do not connect the orangeand 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 compensatedtemperature range established in the specifications. Althoughload cell output is calculated from the calibration value savedin TEDS, when the environmental temperature differs greatly
from room temperature, the temperature impacts increase on
the zero point and the output. For this reason, considerationof the effect on output voltage is necessary. Output voltagechanges will be within the specification range as long as theunit is used at temperatures within the specification range.

When using the TEDS function

ATTENTION

This product’s cores for TEDS (orange and green) areprotected 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 wire.
Cores for sensor

Since the protective plastic and tag are not suitable forthe entire temperature range of this unit’s specifications,do not expose them to high temperatures.

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 preventthe cores from touching other places.
Refer to “Electrical connection of load cell with built-in TEDS”
for how to connect each wire.
