Corrosion protection and maintenance

6 Corrosion protection and maintenance
Protect load cells against chemicals that could attack the cable or the steel of
the housing.
Notice
Acids and all substances that release ions also attack stainless steels and their
weld seams.
The resulting corrosion could cause the transducer to fail. If this is the case,
you must provide appropriate means of protection.
The transducer is basically maintenance free.
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to accumulate
sufficiently to divert some of the measuring force onto the housing, thus
distorting the measured value (force shunt).
Do not use hard or pointed objects to clean the transducer. The transducer
achieves an IP rating of IP68 (test conditions: 100 hours under 1 m water
column) or, optionally, IP69K (water at high pressure, steam cleaning), as per
DIN EN 60529. The transducer is therefore suitable for wet cleaning. Despite
this, the transducer should be protected against the long-term effects of
moisture.
