Load cell wiring colors.

Manufacturer excitation excitation signal signal. There are three main ways a load cell can translate an applied force into a measurable reading. About 6 wire load cells. Discontinued load cells manufactured from 01 01 2008 onwards 350a black pvc green black red white 350i la350 a v levermount load feet blue pu red blue green yellow 350n la350 a v load feet black pvc green black red white 350ti load foot 35916 blue pu red blue green yellow 650 rod end bearings blue pu red blue green yellow.

It is important to follow the color coding as specified by the manufacturer. To download from available app stores go the the scale tools home page. So what does that mean. Quickly reference which wires represent signal excitation and sense lines for almost any given load cell brand and model.

These colors correspond to the conventional color coding of load cells where red black green and white wires come from the strain gauge on the load cell and yellow is an optional ground wire that is not hooked up to the strain gauge but is there to ground any small outside emi electromagnetic interference. Wiring color code diagram for transducer techniques load cells available online for download or viewing come checkout other online services. Because 6 wire load cells have a sense and sense wire to measure the actual excitation voltage over different wire lengths the wires can be cut if necessary without compensating the functionality of the load cell. The color codes vary between manufacturer and the coding is usually provided on the load cell s calibration certificate.

Load cell basics types of load cells. Models excitation excitation signal signal. For example di 145 di 149 and di 155 units are economical choices. Smart load cell systems buy online or call 800 344 3965.

Wiring the amp to the dataq unit any suitable analog to digital converter may be used to convert the analog output of the load cell amplifier to a digital signal. Shield sense sense. Load cell wiring guide.
