2.4 Description
The tension/compression force transducer is designed for measuring static and
dynamic tension and/or compression forces.The tension/compression force transducer
consists of a measuring spring and a welded thin-film sensor. The measuring body is
made of stainless steel and is elastically deformed by a tension and/or compression
force introduced in the force direction.The resulting mechanical tensions are measured
by the installed thin-film sensor and output by an electrical output signal.

3. Safety
Force transducer for measuring tension and/or compression forces, for example press-
in forces.The product is designed for use both outdoors and inside buildings.
The tension/compression force transducers are used to measure forces in both
directions.The measured force is output as an electrical signal.These instruments are
designed for operation in industrial environment. In other environments, e.g. residential
or commercial, they may interfere with other equipment. In this case, the operator may
be required to implement appropriate measures.
Only use the tension/compression force transducers in applications that are within the
technical performance limits (e.g. max. ambient temperature, material compatibility,
etc.). For performance limits, see chapter 9 “Technical data”.
Only the tension/compression force transducers of models F23C1, version 1, are
approved for use in hazardous areas! For Ex instruments, please not the additional
information to this operating instruction (article number 14537280). For an overview, see
the table on page 8.
The tension/compression force transducers are designed exclusively for the intended
use which is described here and may only be used accordingly. Claims of any kind due
to improper use are excluded.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be
observed. Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical
specifications requires the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and
inspected by an authorised service engineer.
Handle electronic precision measuring instruments with the required care (protect from
humidity, impacts, strong magnetic fields, static electricity and extreme temperatures,
do not insert any objects into the instrument or its openings). Plugs and sockets must be
protected from contamination.
This instrument is intended to be connected to PELV external circuit compliant with
requirements of UL/IEC/EN 610101 clause 9.4 (limited energy circuit)”.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary
to the intended use.The Pollution Degree according to UL certification is Degree 4:
„Electrical equipment for outdoor use”.
3.3 Improper use
WARNING!
Injuries through improper use
Improper use of the instrument can lead to hazardous situations and
injuries.

Refrain from unauthorised modifications to the instrument.
Any use beyond or different to the intended use is considered as improper use.
