Loading surface dimensions..............................120 mm x 120 mm
Cable length................................................................. FPC 75 mm● Secure the load cell horizontally to a solid surface withenough rigidity not to bend under normal operating
conditions.
● To secure the load cell, use M4 steel screws with ascrew-in length of 10 mm or less and a tightening torqueof approximately 1N･m.

5. CONNECTING TO A WEIGHING INDICATOR● A flexible printed circuit (FPC) is used for the load cell.
Use the provided FPC connector to connect the load cellto the weighing indicator. When connecting, use muchcare to insert the connector in the correct direction.
● The FPC is fragile mechanically and is susceptible torepetitive bending. When using, secure the connector tothe base.

6. DESIGNING A WEIGHING PLATFORM● The maximum size for the weighing platform to attachon the load cell is 120 mm x 120 mm.
● Design the weighing platform to be less than 100 g.
When the weighing platform is less than 100 g, weighing
is possible up to 1.2 N (120 g).

2. EXTERNAL VIEW

● To attach the weighing platform to the load cell, use anM3 steel screw with a screw-in length of 8 mm or lessand a tightening torque of approximately 1N･m.
Use much care not to apply unnecessary loads (torsionor transverse load) to the load cell.

7. PRECAUTIONS ON OVERLOADING

Unit: mm

3. REMOVING THE STOPPER FOR TRANSPORTATION

The load cell has been installed in the casing with a
pre-adjusted overload stopper.
However, if a load is applied on corners of the weighing
platform, it may cause the casing to deflect and result in applyinga load exceeding the maximum safe overload of the load cell.
To prevent this overloading, provide corner stoppers.
Attach the corner stoppers so that the stoppers come into
contact with the platform when a load, with approximately
100% of the rated capacity. is applied to each corner of theplatform.
The below illustration shows an example of securing theconnector and providing corner stoppers.

To protect the load cell during transportation, tape and astopper are attached to the load cell. Remove them before
use. When removing, use much care not to apply unnecessary
loads (torsion or transverse load) to the load cell.

8. MAINTENANCE
CautionThe load cell has been installed in a casing with various
pre-adjusted stoppers. Use the load cell as is. Do notremove the load cell from the casing.

● Remove all dirt and dust from the load cell, and always
use the load cell in a clean environment.
● When cleaning, do not wash off the dirt and dust. Usean air blower.
