Stage 2: Removing the Old Cell (10-15 minutes)

1. Relieve tension on the web.
2. Disconnect signal and any auxiliary cables.
3. Loosen and remove mounting hardware.

Stage 3: Installing the New Cell (15-20 minutes)

1. Position with proper alignment.
2. Secure with correct torque.
3. Reconnect all wiring.

Stage 4: Power-On & Testing (20-30 minutes)

1. Power up the tension system.
2. Perform zero adjustment.
3. Apply known tension for span calibration.
4. Verify readings across operating range.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this load cell hot-swappable? No. Mechanical replacement requires line stoppage.

What does the “E” designation indicate? Enhanced version of the PFTL101B series with improved characteristics for specific tension applications.

Mounting requirements? Horizontal pillow block installation with precise shaft alignment.

Calibration process? Standard zero and span procedure using the connected tension controller.

Why choose this capacity? 2.0 kN rating suits medium tension ranges in web handling systems while providing good resolution and overload margin.
