VCAUTION
Unsuitable installation locations
Do not place the unit in the following types of locations.
Doing so could cause fire or electric shock.
oLocations where it might be exposed to smoke or steam,
such as near a kitchen table or humidifier
oUnstable locations, including unsteady stands and
tilted places
oLocation that are very humid or dusty
oLocations 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.
Precautions for use
oThis 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 with
corrosive gases should be avoided.
oBe careful to prevent water, oil and other substances
from getting on the unit.
oAvoid use in conditions where condensation could occur.
oConnect cores to the load cell after discharging (elimi-
nating) static electricity from your body.
oIf the surrounding temperature changes suddenly,
the values 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.)
oConduct load calibrations periodically.
Installation procedures
To use this product, install one of the included load buttons
(two types) or a part that you have prepared in the central
M2 internal thread as shown in the illustration below.
oTighten the included load button by hand to the position
where the screw stops.
oSince it could loosen during use, we recommend coating
the screw part with threadlocker. Doing so, however,
will make removing the load button more difficult.
Curved load button Flat load button
oWhen attaching a part other than one of the included
load buttons, make certain that it does not touch the
cover. (Refer to the dimensional drawings.)
Since the space between the cover and the attachment
area of the loadbearing part is not always uniform, we
recommend using a part that is smaller than the diameter
of the component attachment area.
Furthermore, since the attached part will sink by more
than 30 μm when a load is applied, leave a sufficient
gap between the part and the cover.
oInstall this unit in a place where the structure is level
and can sufficiently bear the load being used.
oScrew holes for attachment are located in four places.
oThe screw hole dimensions are shown in the table below.

Precautions when placing loads on the
unit
oMake sure the load is perpendicular to the surface to
which this unit is attached.
oWhen using a flat load button, use it so that the load is
equally distributed within a Ø7mm range.
oApply the load so that it is centered on the center of
the unit. If the load is not centered (eccentric load),
twisting, for example, and measurement errors could
occur. This could even result in damage.

oBe careful to avoid turning and twisting from lateral
loads. This could cause troubles like those described
in the previous item.
oTake extra care if the part that you have prepared is
cylindrical. Even during installation, do not allow loads
to be applied from the side or at an angle as shown in
the illustration below. Doing so could cause the screw
part to bend and damage internally.
Moreover, when securing the part, tighten with a torque
of no more than 0.18Nm or use a threadlocker and
tighten gently by hand.

Part
oA curved load button is used in load testing during
production as shown in the illustration below, and the
results are used in the TEDS data and the test report.
Since the load point, load direction and other condi-
tions differ when using a flat load button, differences in
performance could occur compared to using a curved
load button.

4 screws (class 12.9 strength steel) in
the bottom attached it to the jig.

oBe careful to avoid applying loads that exceed the
rated capacity. In particular, use caution when there are
vibrations because loads that exceed the rated capacity
could occur due to sympathetic vibrations, for example.
oIf the load receiving area (spherical surface) is
contacted by something that is at a different tem-
perature and the load is increased, the values output
by this device could become unstable, making accu-
rate measurement impossible.
In such a case, wait until the temperature difference
ceases to exist before measuring.
Electrical connection of load cell with
built-in TEDS
oConnect 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.

TEDS
oThis unit has a built-in TEDS function.
oThe orange and green cores in the cable and the F and
G pins in the connector are wired for TEDS.
oThis unit does not support remote sensing.
oSince products that support remote sensing use the
same cables and connector pins as TEDS, be careful not
to try mistakenly to use these pins for remote sensing.
oSee the operation manuals of indicators and strain
amps that support remote sensing for how to connect
sensors with those units.

oThe shield is not connected to the main body of this
product. For this reason, if grounding is necessary because
of external noise, for example, arrange to ground the
shield to a part other than the body of this unit.
oIf output values do not stabilize and are difficult to read
due to external noise or other factors when connected
to an indicator, use the filtering function of the indicator.
oSince the cable is directly connected to this unit, use a
specialized cable to increase the length. (Please consult
with us.)
oWhen conducting insulation resistance tests, limit them
to the red, black, blue and white cores. Do not apply to
the TEDS cores (orange and green).

TEDS
TEDS overview
TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) is a memory chip
that 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 data
of the connected load cell will be automatically read and
equivalent input calibration will be completed. (For details,
read the operation manual of the connected indicator.)
Refer to the connection diagrams in the “Electrical con-
nection of load cell with built-in TEDS” section as well as
the operation manual for the indicator being connected
for procedures to make connections.
TEAC indicators that support TEDS include the TD-01 Portable,
TD-700T, TD-260T, TD-275T and TD-280T. For details, inquire
at a shop that handles these products.
If not using the TEDS function, do not connect the orange
and 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 compen-
sated temperature range established in the specifications.
Although load cell output is calculated from the calibration
value saved in TEDS, when the environmental temperature
differs greatly from room temperature, the temperature
impacts increase on the zero point and the output. For
this reason, consideration of the effect on output voltage
is necessary. Output voltage changes will be within the
specification range as long as the unit is used at tempera-
tures within the specification range.
When using the TEDS function
This product’s cores for TEDS (orange and green) are
protected by a plastic cover as shown in the illustration.
This is to prevent miswiring and contact with other connec-
tors 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 the“Electrical connection of load cell with built-in
TEDS”section for how to connect each wire.

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 prevent
the cores from touching other places.
Refer to the“Electrical connection of load cell with built-in
TEDS”section for how to connect each wire.
Note about the tag attached to theTEDS cable
Since the protective plastic and tag are not suitable for
the entire temperature range of this unit's specifications,
do not expose them to high temperatures.
Handling after use
oWhen moving this unit while it is installed, take protective
measures to prevent it from being shaken or subjected
to excessive external forces.
oWhen storing it, keep it in a dry place where it will not
be exposed to water or oil, for example.
