Every load cell comes with rated capacity.
Load cell cable colour code.
The length of the cable will make a.
Hot active wires may be any other colors except these.
All transducer sensing elements utilize the most advanced metal foil strain gauge technology.
The us national electrical code for both ac and dc mandates that the grounded neutral conductor of a power system be white or grey.
Unfortunately there is no standard wiring colour code for load cells so you will need to know from data supplied with the cell which wires are the excitation wires and which wires are the signal wires see section 2 6 for colour code examples.
Models excitation excitation signal signal.
Each load cell is manufactured so that the cable comes off of the same side of the cell see diagram.
A 6 wire load cell will also have a sense and a sense wire which are sometimes referred to as reference and reference.
Loading the load cells beyond the rated value overloads the load cell.
The protective ground must be bare green or green yellow striped.
However if the load cell is installed correctly and the readings are still negative verify the wire connection according to the color code specified by the manufacturer.
The load cell should deflect the same direction as the black arrow on the end of the cell.
Visually check load cells for proper orientation see below.
Shield sense sense.
Each wire has a name both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells have input input signal and signal wires.
Decals are also placed on the same side of each load cell.
